Laura Li's post for @poweratwork.bsky.social unpacks the media coverage of the event and identifies nine competing news frames: poweratwork.us/eat-the-rich...

"The labor participation rate for women with children younger than 5 had the biggest midyear drop in more than 40 years during the first six months of 2025."

We invest 9X less per child-year in care & education in the first 5 years of life than the next 13. This gap in public investment is why K12 is free for parents & early care & education is expensive. www.hamiltonproject.org/publication/...

Asking for a friend: who is President Trump going to fire today after this weak jobs report?

Worth noting in BLS jobs report: civilian labor force shrunk by 357,000 since April (S/A). Meanwhile, % of workers employed is down & combined % working+seeking work (labor force participation) is down. Labor supply is shrinking. One reason unemployment rate isn't higher.

Is this the first jobs report showing jobs LOSS (June revision) since the end of the pandemic? WOW. This labor market is somewhere between stuck and shrinking. www.bls.gov/news.release...
