I was kinda hoping that the way FRED charts are created resembles a seen out of Minority Report. nytimes.com/2024/12/06/busin…
Ya know when you're on a plane and it just keeps circling the airport instead of landing? Feels like an apt metaphor for the economy this week. Talked on the show with @juliaonjobs and @M_C_Klein on what to make of it. npr.org/2024/08/05/119796799…

Great story that adds complexity to the overall narrative that the labor market is tight.
New: for pt 2 in my inequality series for @nytimes, i dug into a deeply painful paradox: if we've truly had 2 jobs for every 1 unemployed person, how is it that ~60% of all those leaving prison are unemployed (*seeking and not finding work*) a year later?

How will SCOTUS's decision today affect students, schools, the economy? For clues, you can look at California's 25-old-ban on affirmative action. npr.org/2023/06/08/118114914…

This is alarming on so many levels.

A group of incredibly talented Gimlet staffers were laid off today - producers, reporters, editors, engineers, and more. If you have any work for them or need help making a podcast or audio project, please reach out and let me connect you with the right person!

Thanks for taking the time to write this. You likely meant to say “irrelevant,” but “irreverent” comes across as a compliment. Have a great weekend.

Good morning to readers.
Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. Please RT this thread. It’s an important one.
Some news: I’m leaving NPR as part of the layoffs that dramatically cut the org's workforce.
I’ve decided to go back into Ukraine to keep reporting.
But this time, alone.

After months of declining follower counts, some state-affiliated media outlets on Twitter started to gain more followers, all around the same date. Here's the sudden shift of an account from Russia's RT, beginning a period of follower growth March 28 and onwards:
Let's Get It On ... in court. A case involving one of the most famous Marvin Gaye jams of all time goes to trial today.
@TheIndicator, we break down how these musical disputes get decided and why the outcome should matter to music lovers everywhere. npr.org/2023/04/20/117116161…

John Lansing, NPR CEO, at the @MorningEdition meeting.
NPR says it will de-emphasize Twitter. Aside from the misleading label, NPR says Twitter isn’t used by most Americans; drives little traffic to NPR; and “no longer has the public service relevance that it once had.”
