Send You Over
I don't know--are you not supposed to just post something on a blog just to tell people to go read another blog for a minute? Is this going to end up on the PowerPoint slide of some social media SEO expert with big red circle and line through this? Probably. But whatever. I want you to go check out Progress Illinois for two things:
First, an exceedingly clever study that used wage garnishment data from the Circuit Court to compare the financial situation of comparable Big Box workers. Guess who fared the worst?
Second, PI is organizing a project to provide a dedicated forum for unemployed Illinoisans. This is brilliant. Only if we understand the material, real-world living conditions of the unemployed can we design a policy to address it. Help them get it off the ground, I know we have extremely bright and creative readers, from all walks of life and ideologies, and unfortunately, likely some who may be unemployed.
