Got a staff shortage? Raising wages normally helps | Economics | The Guardian
From Michel Roux Jr to Tim Martin, from swanky Le Gavroche in London to Wetherspoons pubs, the message is the same: we need more staff. Labour shortages were not a problem envisaged when the UK was plunged into lockdown in the spring of 2020. Then, the fear was of massive job losses and the highest unemployment since the 1930s.
In part, the problem has been caused by the sudden surge in consumer demand as restrictions have been eased. Having been cooped up for so long over the winter, consumers have wanted to go out for a drink, a meal, or enjoy a weekend break. Lots of venues have been looking for staff at the same time.

A vaxxing problem: Education, economics and politics reflect lag in vaccination rates in some
Vaccination numbers from across the counties of the Triad may shed light on more than just who's getting jabbed.
The percentages of people vaccinated show correlations across factors relating to education, economics, even politics.

Inequality and economics: let's go back to Adam Smith | OUPblog
Although the issue of economic inequality has long been neglected by economists, it has become increasingly important in academic and public debate over the past decade, as evidenced by the success of books by Piketty (Capital in the Twenty-First Century and Capital and Ideology), Atkinson (Inequality. What can be done?) or Milanovic (Global Inequality: A New Approach for the Age of Globalization).
The reason for this recent and growing interest of economists in the issue of inequality is mainly due to the progress made in measuring inequality, but also and above all to the increase in inequality since the 1980s-1990s, which has been more or less significant depending on the country, combined with a slowdown in growth, particularly in the advanced countries.
Economics for Disaster Prevention and Preparedness in Europe
Disasters can have devastating physical, social, and financial effects. In the past decade, Europe has seen major floods and earthquakes, while images of people seeking relief from record-breaking heatwaves are becoming commonplace. Between 1980 and 2020, natural disasters affected nearly 50 million people in the European Union, and caused on average an economic loss of €12 billion per year. Intensity and frequency of disasters is expected to grow as a result of climate change.

Students petition reinstatement of economics lecturer to 2 department courses | The Stanford Daily
Over 400 students have signed a petition calling on the Department of Economics to reinstate lecturer Scott McKeon after his classes were suspended due to budget cuts.
The petition, started on May 23, was created after the department published its list of courses that will be offered in the 2021-22 academic year. Students quickly noticed it did not include McKeon's popular classes, ECON102B: Applied Econometrics and ECON137: Decision Modeling and Information, both classes he had taught for five years. ECON102B, a core class, will instead be taught by two other economics professors, and ECON137, a field course, will not be offered at all.
