New Week, New Headlines: Are We Headed Back to Victorian Child Labor & A Tale of Two Job Markets

Your Work Friends

Friends! The news doesn’t stop. And neither do we (except for naps, Francesca loves a nap).
Here’s what we’re jamming about this week:

Topic 1: Are We Headed Back to Victorian Child Labor?
Could Florida's latest child labor law proposal (re: Tampa Bay Times) be the tipping point for teen workers? Authors of this bill are looking to allow teens to work more than 30 hours a week, and in riskier situations. And, this isn’t just a Florida issue. Child Labor violations increased 44% last year alone.
Topic #2: A Tale of Two Job Markets
The U.S. job market. On paper, according to Reuters, it's booming, but we're peeling back the layers to reveal what's really going on behind those low unemployment rates with a take from WSJ. We tackle the economic trifecta of halted interest rates, inflation highs, and wage growth that's throwing businesses and job seekers for a loop.
New! Job of the Week
We’re highlighting a job that just looks boss. This week, it’s Director of Snacks! Who wouldn’t want that on their name plate?
