@NortonMpls Thanks for sharing, Mike! I noticed this chart got a little squished on mobile, we've fixed that now:

“82% of MN’s remote workers are white […] ‘It’s important to acknowledge the inequity of who gets to work remotely and these disparities by race and ethnicity, especially since those who do get to work remotely benefit from it,’ [U of MN Prof] Moen said.” minneapolisfed.org/article/2024/w…

📢Announcing *new* monthly series of quits and layoffs reported by households! We see a notable sign of labor market softening: layoffs have risen steadily and significantly since January 2024. Do I have your attention #JOLTS and #jobsday fans? #econtwitter 🧵1/n

@EconBerger Some context regarding MN's increase: Starting last year, the state extended unemployment benefits to school workers for the summers, so I'm guessing that this increase is partially driven by the end of the school year here.

2/ Nothing jumps out at me as being wildly out of line. The biggest state level increases (NSA) were in California (+10K), Minnesota (+4K), and Pennsylvania (+4K). So either this is real, or a seasonal adjustment issue. [Ultimate tell: does this filter into continuing claims.]

Claims: 1/ Big spike in initial claims to 242K, the highest since last summer. Will dig into whether there's any weird state level stuff shortly...

The share of remote workers tripled from 6% of US workers in 2019 to 18% in 2021 according to @USCensusBureau's American Community Survey. But what does more recent data reveal about remote work trends? Find out in my latest article for @MinneapolisFed: minneapolisfed.org/article/2024/h…
