Opinion: Moving on to Trumpcare

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: Opinion: Moving on to Trumpcare Author: Joel Cantor Source: NJ Spotlight *Date:* Nov 29, 2016 *Summary:* As talk of “repeal and replace” shifts from campaign slogan to serious policy debate, New Jersey has a great deal at stake. Over 670,000 New Jersey residents gained Medicaid or nongroup private health insurance since the implementation of the main coverage provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2014. Most of these people, nearly a half million, gained coverage through the Medicaid expansion. By the second quarter of this year, about 190,000 state residents were benefiting from premium subsidies offered through the health insurance marketplace <http://www.healthcare.gov>, a number that will almost certainly grow during the open enrollment period that ends in January. *Link:* http://bit.ly/2fxHUpT ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eugene McElroy, Library Associate James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 848-932-9513 smlrlibrary(a)work.rutgers.edu http://smlr.rutgers.edu/carey-library

EPI: State labor markets continue their slow recoveries

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: State labor markets continue their slow recoveries Author: Janelle Jones Source: Economic Policy Institute (EPI) *Date:* Nov 28, 2016 *Summary:* The October State Employment and Regional Employment data <http://www.bls.gov/news.release/laus.nr0.htm>, released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, show state labor markets have mostly continued their trend towards economic recovery. Over the last quarter, a majority of states have seen job growth, no change in unemployment rates, or only slight employment declines, along with increases in the labor force participation rate. These indicators point to healthier labor markets for current workers and preciously discouraged job seekers reentering the work force. *Link:* http://bit.ly/2gOwaQ2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eugene McElroy, Library Associate James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 848-932-9513 smlrlibrary(a)work.rutgers.edu http://smlr.rutgers.edu/carey-library
