Repost from The Wall Street Journal

The U.S. labor market bounced back last month with healthy job growth and a decline in unemployment. But another trend also came into focus: the continuing fall in labor-force participation.
The share of the working-age population that is either working or looking for work—known as the labor-force participation rate—edged down to 61.9% in March, its lowest level since 1977, outside of the pandemic.

The rate has been gradually falling since the early 2000s, largely due to the aging population. It nosedived in the early months of the pandemic, then rebounded and grew for a while before resuming its downward slide in 2024.

The continued aging of the population and the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown have helped drive the fall in recent months, economists said.

The rate matters because it helps set the pace of economic growth. The economy grows either because more workers join it or because each worker produces more.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and Inaugural 2026 American Nurses Association\California Foundation Health Equity Award Recipient said it best.... "Nurses Need Air Cover,"... and the policies he's putting in place will provide just that.
Watch how he describes "Air Cover" for nurses.

It is a military term often used metaphorically in business to mean providing, top-down support, security, or resources that allow a team to operate without external pressure or interference.

Nurses… here’s your reminder to always believe in yourself. You’re worth it. And you don’t need a Super Bowl stage to prove it.

All eyes closed and heads bowed, while we pray Ms. I Want Someone Higher Than You figures out I was sent here to help her. Now if she don’t want my help I pray you either flex me off or discharge her home safely IMMEDIATELY.

In these words we pray, Amen 🙏🏾

Now wait a minute!…. I just got report.

This is EXACTLY what happens when the admission comes right before shift change and all the receiving nurse did was take vital signs and hands it off to you.

It’ll have you ready to quit right then and there… or is that just me and my work friends?
