A Message from Our CEO – May 2021
Dear Friends,
The employment picture is all over the map. We all know why young mothers are not getting back to work -- they're still home with the kids, juggling remote schooling. So, what's the excuse for Millennial men? According to this new report by EMSI, they are drifting from full to part time work, a trend that began in 2009 with the great recession. Another reason is that their cash-rich Boomer parents are supplementing their income. Plus, the Biden boost -- extra $300 per week, on top of $300 unemployment check is a disincentive to tear themselves away from Fortnight and Super Smash Bros. Meanwhile, for Millennials (and Gen Z) that are working, productivity keeps going up and up. Survey firm Qualtrics weighs in on that trend.
All that is to say... We have a fascinating NewsWire this month.
The world is shifting under our feet. Workplace. Economics. Politics. If you're not feeling the rumble, check your pulse.
Tune In. Read. Rumble.
