Economic Update: Roots of a Surging US Labor Movement

In this week’s Economic Update, Professor Richard Wolff discusses the reasons why the official United States unemployment rate is currently low in comparison to historic rates; We also highlight why U.S. restaurants are losing business. We then turn to the hypocrisy of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen in the face of repression of growing American protest movement against Israeli policy in Gaza. In addition, we discuss Gabriel Zuckman's report on the economic impact of the dramatic cuts in taxes on billionaires vs rising taxes on the poorer half of the U.S.

Richard Wolff’s Economic Update connects today’s labor struggles, inequality, and political hypocrisy to deeper systemic roots. It’s a reminder of how layers of tension build up until they demand change — much like in Sprunki Phase 3, where every added sound shifts the rhythm into something powerful and new.

This essay does a good job of demonstrating how the actions of the Trump administration mostly benefited the wealthiest at the expense of workers. https://speedstars-game.io
