*Summary:*          In those months when women dropped out of the workforce
in large numbers, economists, businesses and policymakers began to fear
they'd never return, creating a worker shortage that could hobble the
economic recovery. But nearly two-and-a-half years after the coronavirus
first struck, the number of working-age women in the job market has finally
returned to pre-pandemic levels.

*Summary:*          Employers are scrambling to find teachers and health
care professionals but nearly all 50 states have long struggled to bring in
enough security guards to oversee the nation’s prison population of 1.2
million people. And in recent months the vacancy rates have skyrocketed as
officers — frustrated by low pay, violent conditions, long hours, isolated
work locations and routine exposure to Covid-19 — quit in droves.

*Summary:*          Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has warned that
getting inflation under control will involve “some pain to households and
businesses.” What kind of pain is he talking about? So far, the pain has
been plunging stock values and higher borrowing costs for homes, cars,
credit-card purchases and business investments. But the toll could also
include a surge in unemployment, and all the strains that go along with
it—which typically harms lower-income workers most of all.

*Summary:*          California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Tuesday the state’s
pay transparency law (S.B. 1162), according to bill sponsor Sen. Monique
Limon (D) and the California Legislative Women’s Caucus. The new law will
require nearly 200,000 California companies with 15 or more employees to
disclose pay starting next year.
