“I've long admired Harriet Tubman, but it wasn't until I was older that I truly understood the sacrificial nature of her life. Tubman was a warrior who put her life on the line for her people in a country that seemed like it would never respect her as a Black disabled woman.”

Rosengren highlighted challenges people face in manufacturing jobs in East Hartford, CT that have been exacerbated by the pandemic: no access to transportation, no schedule accommodations, heavily relying on public schools as a main means of #childcare, and limited sick days.

“Some of the (labor market) problems were well established but really became obvious during the pandemic,” #BostonFed Pres. Rosengren noted during today’s session of the Uneven Outcomes in the Labor Market conference.

The employment-to-population ratio changed little during the week ending Jan. 2, according to the most recent Yale Labor Survey. Large movements in other YLS series, such as the fraction of population at work, likely reflected holiday effects between Christmas and New Year’s Day. https://t.co/yDTS8mQYvl

#Rosengren: Despite the challenges, the Main Street program provided helpful financing and showed the feasibility of marshalling lenders and the public sector to assist hard-to-reach businesses that can survive with the support of a bridge to better times.

#Rosengren: Until widespread vaccinations take hold, the pandemic is likely to continue to be a problem for public health and the economy in the first half of 2021. Policymakers must be mindful of the deep pain still occurring in many segments of the economy. https://t.co/FsLm7cciY1

#Rosengren says there are several reasons for optimism about the medium-term outlook, including favorable financial conditions, rising asset prices, and a resilient housing market. Meanwhile, household savings remain elevated.

We enter 2021 with some optimism about the economy, #Rosengren says. Two effective #vaccines for #COVID19 are already being distributed, and we should see broader economic recovery in the medium term.

“In the U.S., most of the (education) funding occurs at the local level. That wouldn’t be a problem if we were distributed evenly around the country in terms of income and race,” Rosengren said. #RacismandtheEconomy

He added the fault here is that these critiques are applying a white middle class paradigm – when we refuse to acknowledge these systemic barriers that exist, we’re being racist. The broader racist socioeconomic systems are what need to be addressed.
