There's a lot of clucking out there about multiple job holding

 Multiple job holding seems high at nearly 8.4 million, here.

But as a percent of the employed it is not, currently at 5.2%. In the go-go 1990s it was above 6%.

Multiple job holding generally is a sign of opportunity and good times, not economic stress and bad times. Obviously there is always a percentage of the workforce which can't find full-time work and works two part-time jobs. They now number almost 2 million, a very small part of the employment universe, which is near all-time highs in the range of 161 million.

Full-time employment in October was still strong at 50.4% of civilian population

 The ten month average holds at 50.3%, which is still higher than full year 2022.

We shall see.

If Ron DeSantis' candidacy is so dead, why do Democrats continue to write hysterical attack columns about him?

Florida is such a hellscape under DeSantis that he enjoys "a supermajority in both houses of the state’s legislature. It’s not a pretty picture . . .." lol

US House votes against censure of leader of Hamas Wing, Democrat Rashida Tlaib, helped by 23 Republicans voting to table and 11 Republicans who didn't vote at all

 The measure to table the censure proposal won 222-186.

The roll call vote is here.

The protest organized by Tlaib stormed the Capitol and briefly occupied it on October 18th.

Age discrimination is widespread and has been for years, everyone just shrugs

 Don't complain when it happens to you. No one cares.

 

More than half, 56%, of full-time workers in their early 50s get pushed out of their jobs (due to circumstances like a layoff) before they’re ready to retire, according to a 2018 paper published by the Urban Institute.

“Job loss at older ages is really consequential,” said Johnson, a report co-author. He attributes much of that workplace dynamic to ageism.

Just 10% who suffered an involuntary job separation in their early 50s ever earn as much per week after their separation as before it, the Urban Institute paper said. In other words, 90% earn less — “often substantially less,” Johnson said.

Johnson’s research shows that in the aftermath of the Great Recession (from 2008 through 2012), workers 50 to 61 years old who lost a job were 20% less likely to be reemployed than workers in their 20s and early 30s. Those age 62 and older were 50% less likely to have a new job.

But Miller is not a good writer.
