For those who say why are there so many people on the sidelines not working? Did you know that prime age labor force participation is at a two decade high? The reason the overall labor force participation rate will continue to decline is our nation is aging and about 11,000 people daily are retiring. There are some areas where we could definitely increase LFPR. An elevated number of young men aren’t working or attending school. Why aren’t these young men working? My theory is it is driven by substance use disorders and mental health. Also, we incarcerate more people than anyplace in the world. Young men are at the center of that. When I was practicing law, I saw most criminal cases involved SUDs/mental health. Very few felony plea transcripts I filled out indicated the young man graduated from high school. As more jobs require a postsecondary credential, young men are being left behind because they are pursuing education/training beyond high school at rates far less than young women. And mothers with children have a lower LFPR because we have less access to childcare than prepandemic. Increasing childcare access will improve LFPR, especially for mothers.

“To put it bluntly, primary care is hard,” said Stephanie Davis, an analyst at Barclays. The problem for Walmart, said Craig Garthwaite, a strategy professor at Northwestern University, is that in medicine you can’t really build economies of scale by driving the costs of such things as purchasing and advertising down to charge lower prices and gain market share. In a doctor’s office, your big-ticket costs are the people: A family physician might make something like $250,000, while a nurse practitioner is paid around $150,000.

Regardless of whether workers are remote or in the office, keyboard activity isn’t a sign of productivity. Focus on deliverables accomplished, not just going through the motions. You can show up at office, appear busy all day long and not accomplish a darn thing. If an employer believes they need to monitor keyboard activity, you are working for the wrong employer.https://lnkd.in/eapnttTK
