I'd like to see this side by side with poverty, homeless, etc rates. I cannot see this practice improving long term outcomes, economic or health wise. I think this article also dismisses that even if there are millions of job openings that doesn't mean they pay a living wage or a wage that can sustain a family or prepare for retirement. Coming out of 2008 we lost a ton of reasonable pay positions for multiple part time or gig economy work that crushed so many of my college peers. Simply driving down unemployment is a false method of tracking economic progress or recovery. Roberson's story at the end is exactly what I'm getting at. Lose a reasonable $26/hour and now stuck with a $7.25/hour job at best is not going to help America recover but only demonstrate employers can lobby to abuse workers all day long.
