NPR's Michel Martin speaks with Washington Post 's economics correspondent Heather Long about what the unemployment numbers say about the state of the country's economic recovery.
As the U.S. economy continues to recover from the lockdowns and other limits imposed during the pandemic, some employers say they are finding it hard to attract people to fill openings as their activities ramp back up. This despite the fact that millions of jobs disappeared over the last year. And that's given rise to a debate.

Birth dearth about values, not economics
For the sixth consecutive year, the birth rate dropped -- this time by 4%. The average annual drop in the five previous years was 2%.
The rate at which American women are having babies is way below the rate necessary to keep the population steady-state -- that is, for the population not to shrink.
A steady-state population requires a total fertility rate of 2.1 children per woman. In 2020, it was 1.64.
Needless to say, for politicians, there is no problem that does not have a government solution, and the birth dearth is no exception.
Real World Economics: Inflation’s back, so what now? – Twin Cities
The word "inflation" is much in the news, prompting many questions. Are we experiencing inflation, or will we be soon? If so, why? Is it increased federal spending in response to a COVID-induced slowdown in output and employment? Or is even the mere discussion of greater federal spending to improve "infrastructure" scaring markets?

Rutgers economist Bruce Mizrach is available to comment on new Rutgers research that analyzes the stability of stablecoins, a cryptocurrency whose value is tied to an outside asset such as the U.S. dollar.
“The financial industry has continued to develop new forms of payment,” said Mizrach. “Credit and debit cards and automated clearinghouse transactions were the key developments of the late 20th century. Venmo and PayPal came along in the early 21 st century. The latest, stablecoins, are competitors to other payment methods like credit cards, bank-based bill payment systems and cash. Unlike Bitcoin, stablecoins are not supposed to fluctuate in value.
