Thoughts on March 2026 unemployment report

Thoughts on March 2026 unemployment report

It’s the beginning of a new month, and that means we’re seeing new reports about the job numbers from March 2026. The headlines say that unemployment dropped from 4.4% in February to 4.3% in March. That is good and welcomed news. But, it is not the full story and I want to explain a bit more about what is behind that number.

It’s clearer than ever that the effects of the national rise in economic inequality are spilling over into local communities. With the federal government lacking the necessary urgency to respond to and address the crisis, states are taking matters into their own hands and proposing their own millionaire taxes.

A Closer Look: A lot to gain by raising taxes on the rich

For this week’s Closer Look, we’ll dive deeper into what The Washington Post Editorial Board got wrong about taxing the rich and income tax rates.
