Working-age population (aged 15 to 64), annual percentage change. For the first time, probably in US history, working-age population is shrinking. When you look at this by education, you'll see that the entire decline is in the group without a BA.

After a start of a recession, it takes about 4-7 years for unemployment to return to its natural rate. This time this is likely to be much shorter: it will probably happen during 2022, about two years after the beginning of the pandemic recession. #unemployment #LaborShortages

Vacation destinations are still lagging, but are likely to catch up in the coming months as people go on vacations again. Enjoy your summer. #Jobs #Travel #vacation

Our May Consumer Confidence Index is out. A dramatic increase in the gap between "jobs plentiful" and "jobs hard to get". One of the largest gaps ever! Another indication of the unusual tightness of the labor market despite still high unemployment rates. #laborshortage

Wages in leisure and hospitality continue to accelerate. The rapid reopening and supply constraints are creating major recruiting difficulties. #labormarket #laborshortage #recruitment #wages #JobsReport

From our survey of HR executives. The question is: In general, how willing is your US operation to hire full-time employees who work predominantly virtually/remotely? The growing willingness to hire remote is driving a major geographical shift in the US. #Recruiting #remotejobs

May's inflation report is out this morning. It feels like we are in the 70's again. Is disco also making a comeback? #inflation #economy

One reason I'm skeptical about the claim of widespread automation during the pandemic: The number of office and administrative workers (THE major target of automation since 2010), is back to pre-pandemic levels. In the past two recessions their number dropped and did NOT recover.
