Remote Work Economy

*Date:*                   September 26, 2022
*Summary:*          The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) August jobs
report showed a labor market that, while not as hot as earlier in the year,
is still showing significant growth. But despite that growth, there remains
serious variation in the economic health of different racial and ethnic
groups. Namely, August’s unemployment rate for Native Americans was
4.9%—which, while significantly better than its early pandemic peak of
28.6%, is still over a percentage point higher than the national seasonally
unadjusted unemployment rate of 3.8%.
