Salaries being at an âall-time highâ doesnât mean much when the cost of living and inflation is also at an all-time high.. itâs interesting we talk about salary increases as a product of âin-demand jobsâ rather than it keeping up with the rising cost of living
College graduate starting salaries are at an all-time highâand these 10 majors earn the most cnb.cx/3kIM9gU
Itâs time for corporations to listen to the *free market* and raise their pay for service workers. The pay for CEOs and software engineers have gone up all these years to compete with talent/demand, so this shouldnât be any different!

Also linking to the authorâs article with that exact opinion mentioned in the thread above:
Also, everyone yelling at me in my mentions â I am not a McDonald's franchisee. I am a reporter. I have written my thoughts on solutions in this article, with the headline: "There's a simple solution for companies struggling to hire: Pay workers more" businessinsider.com/labor-shâŚ

Great insights here on the little discussed and dangerous side effects of burnout: "Work cultures that reward overwork are often the biggest culprits for holding women back from professional progress, not work-life balance" nytimes.com/2021/05/08/us/buâŚ

Reupping this excellent analysis by @byHeatherLong in the WaPo and here is a thread from the restaurant world that perfectly illustrates it:
Analysis | Itâs not a âlabor shortage.â Itâs a great reassessment of work in America.

If people are choosing âpandemic-era benefitsâ over jobs that donât pay enough to live, thatâs the free market at work. Itâs time for corporations to compete for talent in the same way they pay extremely high salaries for tech & other white collar workers.
For conservatives, the jobs report suggested that generous pandemic-era benefits are discouraging workers from taking jobs, while progressives argue corporate America has to offer higher wages

Are you team work-from-anywhere, in-office life, or a mix of the two? Google was planning to require workers to come into the office at least 3 days a week, but just relaxed its rules. Customized work settings and flexibility will outlast the pandemic.

Black millennials aren't just falling further and further behind white millennials in building wealth for their families â they're falling further and further behind what *previous Black generations* amassed in wealth.

Just read the news that Apple is opening a $1B RTP campus after a recruiter who lives in the area shared this article on LI. She said that the Raleigh/Durham area is becoming the Silicon Valley of the East & is ranked as one of the top 3 places to live:

For white-collar millennial workers, Pandora's Box has been opened. Interesting to read how some professionals in their late 20s & 30s are rejecting pre-pandemic normals and saying YOLO to the next stage of their careers/lives

"For younger people who have been told to work hard, pay off your loans and someday youâll get to enjoy your life, a lot of them are questioning that equation. What if they want to be happy right now?â
Great quote from @cmwalla. COVID showed that we can't procrastinate life.
đđť Hi â itâs been awhile since Iâve tweeted, and even longer since Iâve tweeted with any real focus. Iâll be tweeting and sharing content all around the âFuture of Workâ for the foreseeable future, so this is your chance to keep following me or hit that unfollow. More context ⤾ď¸
That, coupled with the fact that I speak with 100s of talent professionals who work at innovative companies throughout the country, has me fascinated with what the future of work looks like in the US with the economic shift & geographic redistribution of talent post-COVID.
