Your weekend read, from the archive: Work-life balance is about making trade-offs, @brigidschulte.bsky.social explains. How might we design workplaces that encourage employees to choose the right ones?

My latest in @usnews.com — The American Time-Use Survey is the only source of hard data on the breadth and value of unpaid care work. If @dogeposts.bsky.social slashes funding, we will be blind to a measure that shows that the wealth of a nation is about so much more than money can buy.

Starting or expanding a family is intensely personal. But if Trump & Vance are serious about boosting birth rates, the research is clear: forget motherhood medals, embrace flexible work, decent jobs & family-supportive policies. My latest in US News: www.usnews.com/opinion/arti...
