There are pros and cons to this but it would be a massive change in US reporting standards. Most corporate credit facilities require quarterly reporting for public and private companies alike.

Among other things, this chart indicates that we never recovered from the massive increase of long term unemployed people during the Great Recession. It improved but the trough of long term unemployed since then (ignoring the COVId gyration) is closer to the peak of long term unemployment of prior recessions.

Are people more willing to/ able to hold out for a similar position now or is there a larger cohort of poorly skilled workers who struggle to find permanent gainful employment?

“… Six months of unemployment often signals a turning point in a person’s job search, according to economists. They’ve likely run out of unemployment insurance benefits and severance payments by then, leaving them on shakier financial ground. People who have been unemployed for more than six months are also more likely to become discouraged and stop looking for work altogether.

… Studies have found that workers who are unemployed long-term are less likely to find jobs than others. They’re also more likely to drop out of the workforce entirely. A 2014 study by economists at Princeton University found that nearly half of those unemployed for seven months or longer, in the aftermath of the Great Recession, ended up leaving the labor force.

“The longer people linger in unemployment, the more likely they are to lose their contacts and connections, and after an extended period of time, their skills can depreciate,” said Francine Blau, a labor economist and professor emeritus at Cornell University. “And there is the possibility that employers see [long-term unemployment] as a sign of a less desirable worker.”…”

Rather than base their decision on "denial of due process " why not add that there was no basis for the attempted firing because she did not commit fraud.


She did not have mortgages on two primary residences. Trump and his henchman Pulte lied....here's my shocked face:eek:

While that is true, I don’t know if it’s in evidence for the purposes of this injunction.

Do you think that fact may give SCOTUS less a willingness to take up Trump's emergency appeal ?

I can see the Trumpers on the court finding "due process" as wiggle room to appease Trump. I was thinking that, absent Alito and Thomas, there may one or two Trump appeasers who will say hearing this case based upon an outright lie is a bridge too far.
 


“…For those in the bottom 80% of the income distribution, those making less than approximately $175,000 a year – their spending has simply kept pace with inflation since the pandemic. The 20% of households that make more have done much better, and those in the top 3.3% of the distribution have done much, much, much better. The data also show that the U.S. economy is being largely powered by the well-to-do. As long as they keep spending, the economy should avoid recession, but if they turn more cautious, for whatever reason, the economy has a big problem.”
