Belated Jobs Day. Joblessness is not uniformly distributed but concentrated among certain groups. For Black people (16 to 54) to be employed at the same rate as White people would require 1.2 million jobs (rolling 12-month average). #FullEmploymentForAll fullemploymentforall.org

In his 2023 State of the Union Address, President Biden highlighted areas of economic upheaval in this country–“the people and places that have been forgotten,” even as the national economy soars. From Appalachia to Indian Country, from the urban core to the rural heartland, extraordinary pockets of high joblessness persist in America. This panel will explore the problem of concentrated poverty, and some surprising and creative ways that communities have managed to turn their fortunes around.
Great jobs report, but there are still 15 million wanting more work. 5.8M unemployed; 5.2M want to work but are not counted as unemployed; 4M want fulltime work but can only find parttime. We need targeted subsidized employment. #FullEmploymentForAll https://cepr.net/full-employment-for-all/

Targeted Employment – Re-Connecting Appalachia’s Disconnected Workforce: Report Launch - Check out these resources introduced in this webinar:
The Appalachian region has long suffered from not having enough good paying jobs. Even when the unemployment rate is low, too many Appalachians are disconnected from the workforce entirely due to a myriad of factors. The result has been a long-term structural unemployment problem that has persisted for decades, with too many Appalachian adults out of the workforce entirely and unable to secure a decent paying job where they live.
Join us for a discussion of the low employment rates in Appalachia: https://reimagineappalachia.org/full-employment-for-all-of-appalachia-listening-session/
