*Summary:*          Supporters say Senate Bill 14 will prevent regulatory
confusion in a way that helps businesses regain their footing as the
economy tries to recover from the pandemic’s devastating financial effects.
But opponents say it reduces workers’ access to paid sick leave after
they’ve been navigating the pandemic for more than a year.

*Title:*                    Labor Market Will Tighten Sharply: Not as Much
Slack as Biden Assumes
*Source:*               Forbes
*Author:*               Bill Conerly
*Date:*                   April 13, 2021
*Summary:*          Will companies be able to find workers in 2021 and
2022? It may be very difficult. Some of President Biden’s policies are
aimed at stimulating demand for workers. Jerome Powell is leading the
Federal Reserve in the same direction. But other policies will diminish
people’s interest in going to work. These conflicts coincide with a
demographic trend of little growth in the working age population. The net
result will be a great opportunity for people who want to work, and poor
opportunities for companies trying to expand. In this environment, demand
stimulus is more likely to raise inflation than to promote real economic
growth.
