They include grocery store clerks, nurses, cleaners, warehouse workers, and bus drivers, among others. They were essential before the pandemic hit, yet also overworked, underpaid, under protected, and under OVERALL CPI UP 0.6 PERCENT DRIVEN BY BOUNCE BACK Overall, the story this month is overwhelmingly that bounce back inflation was 100 percent predictable, coupled with soaring car prices (both new and used) due to temporary shortages. There’s not much here to get excited about. The overall CPI was up 0.6 percent, the core rose 0.7 percent. New and used cars were major factors, THE IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC ON YOUNG PEOPLE’S EMPLOYMENT Young people’s employment rate has been trending down over the past several decades.

The executive order also directs the Secretary of Agriculture to issue any additional orders and regulations necessary to keep producers operating. On the same day, the United Food and Commercial Workers reported that there QUICK THOUGHTS ON THE MINIMUM WAGE While $15 an hour is a large increase from the current $7.25 an hour, this is because we’ve allowed so much time to pass since the last minimum wage hike. The 12 years since the last increase in the minimum wage is the longest period without a hike since the federal minimum wage was first established in 1938. IS A PRIVATE EQUITY CLUB DEAL COMING TO A PENSION FUND The American Prospect See article on original site One way that private equity (PE) firms have historically been able to take on larger and larger companies is through the use of so-called “club deals.” This refers to when two or more private equity funds join together to acquire a huge enterprise, and share ownership.
