Good trends. "The mistaken notion that Americans don’t want to work can be put to rest. Nearly 81 percent of Americans ages 25 to 54 are working, the highest share since 2001." And while white employment has declined, it's grown significantly for Black & Brown people & immigrants. Gifted article.

The U.S. labor force is more diverse today than ever. Now policymakers should find out how many more people might be able to find jobs.

In response to Professor Kyle.

But to Republicans (and, I suspect, many independents and even some Democrats), this won't be good news. Because the white workforce shrunk. And consciously or not, that's who people think of when we talk about "workers". This will just reinforce the idea that "those people" are "stealing our jobs".
