In addition to Black unemployment, I've been keeping my eye on the unemployment rate for young workers. With depressed hires, I'm concerned about the ability for young workers to break into the labor market. Their unemployment rate has been steadily rising for much of the last 2 1/2 years.

a lovely hot take you could write if you wanted to set your mentions on fire is that "hey when I was 12 I watched hardcore porn online and I turned out fine" is the new "hey when I was 12 I had to walk 5 miles to school/I'd get smacked by the teacher and I turned out fine"
