What's Behind the Decline of Working-Class Men in the Labor Market?

Good to see women gaining significantly. But this continued loss of job opportunities by men is hopefully not a downward spiral, as this shouldn't be viewed as a zero-sum game. We need to find ways to ensure both are able to thrive in our new economies. #improvetheworld

Misinformation and Minimum Wage Myths

I've often assumed that increases in the minimum wage would result in increased prices, but this article provides some evidence to the contrary. With the economy being one of the big issues this past US election cycle, perhaps we need to rethink our positions on minimum wages. #improvetheworld

The Male Vote: The Dems' “Fatal Miscalculation” and What Trump Got Right | Amanpour and Company

As you listen to this, ignore the political context and listen instead to the concerns raised about the working environment and social pressures on young men. We need to remove our societal focus on such an egalitarian society and recognize that there is value in the trades and working class. This will not only help men but also immigrants, who also often end up in blue-collar jobs. #improvetheworld
