Why 2023 Was Such a Good Year for Labor

Dec. 29, 2023 | WAGES | This year will go down as a very good one for labor in the U.S. Wage inequality narrowed and unemployment stayed below 4% for 22 months, the longest stretch in over 50 years. And though it’s cooled down since, unemployment remains low and wages are catching up to inflation. Meanwhile, unions in a variety of industries made waves, and workers without a college education had an especially good year. More at Quartz

How 500,000 Workers Refused to Work in 2023 – And Won Big

Dec. 27, 2023 | ECONOMY | […] on Wall Street, strikes are on the tips of tongues. A Bloomberg News analysis found that S&P 500 executives and analysts talked about unions on earnings calls more this year than any other on record, according to data going back two decades. They, too, have been quick to assure investors that the labor uptick is no big deal. Caesars Entertainment Inc. CEO Thomas Reed told analysts that a recently settled contract with Nevada’s Culinary Union is “going to be the largest increase that our employees have seen” in four decades. “That’s well deserved. It’s anticipated our business model,” he said. Such comments, arguably made to calm antsy investors, are partly bluster. But they also reflect the changed balance of forces in the United States.

Big Contract Battles Ahead for Unions in 2024

Dec. 20, 2023 | U.S. LABOR UNIONS | Major contract fights in 2023 at UPS, the Big 3 automakers, and Hollywood studios set the tone for next year’s contract campaigns. Impressive gains and increased transparency got members of other unions asking, “Why can’t my union be like that?” The bar will be high. Many of the contracts expiring next year date from before the pandemic and before inflation started taking a bite out of paychecks. Some unions took concessions, like creating lower wage and benefit tiers, that members are ready to fight to undo this time around. Contracts up next year include Anheuser-Busch, Boeing, AT&T, CWA, Daimler Truck, postal workers, teachers, janitors… Labor Notes

The U.S. Avoided a Recession in 2023. What’s the Outlook for 2024?

Dec. 19, 2023 | ECONOMY | Next year is packed with potential shifts in the economy, but many economists and investment analysts expect that the country will likely avoid a recession in 2024 even as growth slows in the first half of the year. States Newsroom talked to economists about their expectations for some key metrics as well as their concerns about what could change their outlook. The job market will remain strong but not as hot as 2023. The unemployment rate has remained below 4% for nearly two years, with the unemployment rate falling to 3.7% in November. But hiring has cooled off from the start of the year, and retail employment dropped by nearly 40,000 jobs in the most recent jobs report, which leaves the question: How stable will the labor market be in 2024?
