    In my 20 years counseling and representing workers, the number one and most hurtful complaint of workers are injuries to their dignity. It was always hard to make them into legal claims. That should change. “There oughta be a law”

    The job market is broken for nearly half of Americans. Let's get serious, to fix it - together, on purpose. How about in 2020? Does 2020 work for you?

    ". . . . tens of millions of Americans are seriously disadvantaged in job opportunities, income mobility, and health and happiness levels simply by virtue of living in a place other than a 'superstar' hub."

    So, this past weekend, I wrote a response to that David Brooks column about class war. But by the time I was done, my editor and I decided the moment had passed. However, I've posted the draft on Medium. cc

    We often take the measurement of a “good” economy for granted. E.g., it shows up in small budgets for workforce development, because the funding formula is mainly based on unemployment rates. My colleagues and illustrate the need to ask: “good” for whom?

    You also have to look at wage levels, not just trends. Wage growth of 3.6% for non-supervisory hospitality workers (of whom there are 15 million) resulted in wages of . . . $14.73/hr in Dec 2019. For the 13.5M non-supervisory retail workers, their wages grew to $16.81/hr. 4/4

    Key question: Can people who work full-time afford the costs of housing, child care, health care, transportation, education and taxes in their local areas? In low-wage jobs, if you are on your own, maybe, though it'll be tight. If you have a family, unlikely. 2/n

    A few points. Yes, productivity matters (a great deal) & should be reflected in wages. But it is not everything. Echoing 's recent point, economic systems are embedded in society & exist for people, who need wages to live on. 1/n

    Home health care or group home care is a massive massive massive part of our health care system & it’s being handled in large part by underpaid overworked overlooked women, often from minority communities, who are literally caring for us. They are the actual saints among us.

    - Unemployment remains low (3.5%) but sectors with some of the highest job growth (hospitality and retail) also have the lowest wages for non-managerial workers - $14.73/hr & $16.86/hr, respectively.

    Important read. Unemployment numbers miss key issues affecting people. More generally, there is a TON of work to be done to update govt metrics for today. What we measure, how we do it & how we share them. Fertile ground for significant new work.

    Low unemployment doesn't always mean what you think it means. . . .

    Screening for... Selective colleges? Unpaid internships? Credit checks? Don't hire for social class. Hire for skills. → This seems obvious, but how many of the ways employers screen people out for jobs are class signals—more than indicators of ability? Please stop. Do better.
