An important sentiment from @taradmcguinness: the economic case alone for care supports, like providing paid leave so they can get back to work, is morally bereft. (And a good reminder to me, as an economist who often makes these arguments.)

America social policy often short changes workers, lacking a decent retirement system is just another way to nick living standards. https://t.co/v5ZoB2ggxE

Extreme energy price volatility is what we've signed up for as a fossil fuel dependent economy. To secure stable and affordable energy prices, we need a renewable transition ASAP. @lrmelodia and I explain in a NEW brief: https://t.co/guuvjDasvw 🧵

>57% of NFP gains go to women this month (304k)

We needed this!

[Rakeen Mabud @rakeen_mabud]

Is this a pretty good jobs report? Yes.

Should we bring out our party hats when the Black unemployment rate is 7.9 relative to the overall unemployment rate of 4.6? Absolutely not.

We need to use every tool at our disposal to address structural inequities in the labor market.

@kendrabozarth @lenorepalladino @JessForden Whispers: paid leave is #BlackWomenBest ONLY if the implementation & design actually centers the needs & desires of Black women. So it can't just be 6 weeks or only apply to FT positions or leaves out entire labor sectors where Black women are segregated into.

If you work for a philanthropic advisory group and your strategy does not include centering your advice on what directly impacted people are telling you they need from philanthropy, you are doing it wrong.
