From Andre Dickens, City of Atlanta, GA Mayor: “I’m telling corporations, ‘Some of you are the size of nation states.’ So you have to act like a country & take care of people in your environment & your ecosystem.” #ResilientFuturesLive

.@mikemcafee06, PolicyLink: "Corporate leaders question whether they have a dog in this fight. Oh, they absolutely do. & in many ways I think that they're on the leading edge of the equity movement, & I say that because they can bend the legal & regulatory frame to their will."

''Capitalism also depends on domestic labour'' (1970s-80s) poster by See Red Feminist silk-screen collective #WomensArt

Coming next week (3/28): Moving the Needle: What Tight Labor Markets Do for the Poor, from Katherine S. Newman + me. ucpress.edu/book/978052037…

Job loss means more than just lost wages today – it means losing the chance to build experience + to grow valuable human capital, which translates into lost wages + work opportunity for years to come. The cost of being laid off = ~8-9% of total lifetime earnings. #FixtheFed

Tight labor markets reduce $ on benefits because they create opportunities to work + earn. Hiking unemployment from today’s very low rates to still-low 5.5% translates into +$24.9B Medicaid spending, $16.2B SNAP, +$671M SSI – all because ppl lose work + wages. #FixtheFed
