So much for "nobody wants to work anymore": 80.7% of prime-age (25-54) Americans were working in March, the highest rate since May 2001.

New for Well+Being: Friends are essential to a healthy life — and they are just as important for our well-being as healthy eating habits or a good night’s sleep. Here’s how to go about making some new ones — washingtonpost.com/wellness/…

Want to be healthier? Hang out with your friends.

Friendship is as essential to good health as eating right and getting enough sleep, experts say.

Big-picture: Job growth is slowing (which is what we'd expect) but remains solid. If you set aside that big July figure, we've seen a steady, gradual step down since early 2021.

"For people of color, and others who lack generational wealth, a job is like air. Most of us are not only working for identity reasons. Losing a job is traumatic. And each time I experienced it, the negative financial impact was traumatic.” - @leslieforde

The rundown status of 82 Alfred St. nine years ago appealed to director Jim Jarmusch, who shot parts of "Only Lovers Left Alive" there. 📷 See nine more photos, including one from back then: deadlinedetroit.com/articles… #Detroit @maxbroock [h/t @WorkingKind]

Not only is the job number fantastic for our "are we in a recession?" moment, it's great for basically any month period. To put how good 372,000 new jobs are in context, it's higher (as a percent of employment) than 79 percent of monthly job numbers since 1980. (1/2)

The 381,000 jobs added by private employers in June mean we have now regained 100% of the private-sector jobs lost in the pandemic. Although we certainly aren't back on our pre-Covid trendline, and the composition of jobs looks very different.

U.S. job openings dropped to 11.3 million in May, showing signs of cooling even though demand still remains well above pre-recession levels. Even if the job market is cooling from white hot to red hot, it's still hot. #JOLTS 1/
