@TomIannitti It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

When police in Rhode Island wrongfully arrest someone without charges, the RI Attorney General’s office says the public does not have the right to know.

Civil rights advocates say that ruling opens the door for secret arrests and abuse. https://t.co/jxjH9Ubtma via @BostonGlobe

If you want to see how bad the RI April household survey data is, this table shows percent changes. Wow!

[Len Lardaro @ladardo]

RI's unemployment rate rose from 4.4% last April to 4.5% this April. Sound good, right? But this occurred as resident employment plunged by 10,700, with an almost identical drop in the labor force. Too bad the media in this state is so oblivious to what is "under the hood."

[Len Lardaro @ladardo]

I didn't think RI's household survey data could get worse after last month. But, it did, bigtime! Huge drops in our labor force and resident employment, monthly and annually. Our "official" unemployment rate of 4.5% is totally meaningless (the media won't realize this).

Cost-of-living concerns dominated our poll, with the economy and housing affordability emerging as the top issues for more than half of respondents.

Healthcare came in third.

Like the nation, RI employment in health and education is having a major impact on employment change. For March, RI payroll employment (yearly) fell 1,300. If we take out education and health, the decline was actually 3,600.

Rhode Island's economy lost ground to the rest of the country over the past 10 years, according to a new @RIPEC_ analysis.

Personal incomes and GDP lagged neighboring states from 2014 to 2024 under Govs Raimondo and McKee

Last year, I was waiting for the two RI labor market measures to converge. Since then, they have, but I should be careful what I wish for.

Last night at the @GeorgeWileyCRI we heard from from those directly impacted by our for profit utility system which prioritizes corporate greed over people's needs & to discuss solutions with Dr. Diana Hernández #PassPIPP

[Jennifer Stewart @JenStewartRI]

@_HarrisonTuttle in the @projo: RI's economic crisis has deep roots. We face a systemic crisis of homelessness and economic instability, rooted in decades of policy choices -

@ladardo What do you estimate the local unemployment rate to be going into the midterms?

[Len Lardaro @ladardo]

Bad news concerning RI's labor market. February Household Survey data show falling labor force and resident employment and higher number of unemployed -- all both monthly and yearly. Result: the rise in the official unemployment rate is understated.
