expected. Between April and October the unemployment rate fell by more than half, to 6.9%, undoing more than two-thirds of its initial rise.the supply of people either working or looking for a job has declinedThe labor-force participation rate, or the share of Americans 16 years and over working or seeking work, was 61.7% in October, down from 63.4% in February. Though up from April’s trough, that is near its lowest since the 1970s, when far fewer women were in the workforce.
The supply of workers and their productivity are the building blocks of economic growth. A smaller labor force leaves fewer workers to build machines and clean tables, restraining the economy’s long-term prospects. “If we don’t get all the workers back, we can never have a V-shaped recovery,” said Betsey Stevenson, economics professor at the University of Michigan, referring to a quick and sustained bounce-back after a sharp decline. “Everybody should be worried about making sure that we don’t leave workers behind,” she said.
Good article, but let’s be clear: Covid didn’t push women out. The patriarchy did.
I work for a company with thousands of employees. Most are on furlough. My team of ten engineers will never be back. Many have found other jobs because they have mouths to feed. Others don't want to have managers mistreat them.
We're going to need some new innovations in how to gain productivity as we go forward. We are all socialists. The GOP is very socialist, just favoring its ISRD. We need fair and voluntary safety nets. =

Donald Trump's reign of destruction, with mismanagement of the pandemic as his number one dereliction, will take decades to recover.
You should focus more on all the damn immigrants that are about to flood the nation and our jobs‼️🇺🇸

The media in America is mostly dead. Today they resemble Russian Pravda. When I turn on the media (NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, and the like) I can only spend a few minutes watching before I have to change the channel before becoming nauseous.
But the point is what have these workers working on to attain a skill? If one thinks $7.25 will pay bills then it's a choice. Push yourself to work harder.
And with Biden announcing that he will not deport illegal aliens entering the country, those low wage American workers will never see jobs since they will be competing against people who will work for even lower wages.
