There are certainly a lot of anecdotal reports right now of employers not being able to find the workers they need, particularly in restaurants. But unemployment is still very elevated—particularly among restaurant workers. What’s going on? 1/

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. I’m a survivor of sexual assault and domestic abuse. To every survivor who has faced injustice, who has not been believed, who is on their journey to healing: I love you. I see you. I am fighting for you every day.
