"A year later, people have plowed through savings, cashed out retirement funds and moved in with friends and relatives. Former U.S.A.I.D. workers who have done informal surveys estimate that less than half have found full-time work, with many making less than before. An estimated third are unemployed. Others are in part-time work." https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/us/politics/usaid-former-employees.html #PublicHealth #GlobalHealth #USAID #ForeignAid #ForeignAssistance #development #DOGE #USpol #workers

I agree with Teachers that education has become too obsessed with exams (including universities where exams are uses to combat the corrosive use of AI), not least as it results in an anti-humanist education, but blaming schools for not preparing young people for work (and rise in economic inactivity among the young), approaches victim blaming; the problem reflects the UK's low-wage economy, where workers are seen as a cost & not invested in. #workers #education #NEETs https://www.theguardian.com/education/2026/apr/20/exam-obsessed-school-system-unprepared-work-alan-milburn

UNION STRONG! The number of workers covered under union contracts increased to a 16-year high in 2025, despite ongoing attempts by the Epstein Regime to wipe out collective bargaining agreements for tens of thousands of federal workers #UnitedStates #workers #union #unions https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/18/union-membership-increase-trump-assault

The Dutch have been quietly getting on with normalising the four day working week, and it seems to not have had the negative impact many critics have claimed, with the Netherlands' economy still one of the most successful in the EU; as so often, real political economic change can be organic rather than forced, and in the UK while at an early stage of this process, the four day working week is slowly but surely e becoming more widely adopted. Good! #workers #FourDayWeek https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2y85xdyw3o
