In A Summertime Shot Of Good News, 850,000 Jobs Were Added In June
The job market heated up, as employment increased by 850,000 in June. The unemployment rate rose to 5.9%, according to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. This may be due to more entrants into the job market, which is a good sign of people feeling more confident that they can find a new job. Job gains were robust in the once-beaten-down sectors, such as leisure and hospitality. Public and private education, professional and business services, retail trade and other services rose too. The number of unemployed persons—9.5 million—were little changed in June. However, it’s down considerably from their April 2020 highs.

A Single-Mother, Self-Taught Software Developer Living With Mental Illness Raises Concerns Over Apple’s Limited Remote-Work Policy
Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, recently told his global workforce of 137,000 employees that they’d have to return to the office beginning early September. In an open letter to Cook, some employees of Apple voiced their concerns about returning to an in-person office setting stating, “We feel like the current policy is not sufficient in addressing many of our needs.” The letter pointed out that workers delivered “the same quality of products and services that Apple is known for, all while working almost completely remotely.” Despite protests from workers, Apple is remaining resolute in its position. Software developer Cher Scarlett is one of the Apple employees who wrote the letter to Cook. Scarlett, like many others living with mental illness, requires accommodations.

Why Should You Earn Less Money Just Because Of Where You Live? It’s Time To Question Location-Based Salaries
If you are great at what you do, why should you be forced to earn less than what you’re worth just because you live outside of a major city? Doesn’t it seem reasonable that a person should be paid what they’re worth regardless of where they live? Location-based salaries and compensation may turn out to be the next big hotly contested issue.
There’s A Growing Movement And Petition Circulating To Push For A Four-Day Workweek
Two years ago, if I said we’d all be working remotely, you’d laugh. Suffering through over eight-hour days, five days a week in the office was the punishing standard, until Covid-19 hit. Then, the unthinkable happened. Companies dispatched their employees out of the office and told them to work remotely. What seemed like a crazy idea to CEOs became widely successful. Once people tasted the freedom of not having to commute two hours a day and being chained to a cubicle, they didn’t want to go back to the pre-pandemic past.
