I don't blame the guy. One of the most delicious pizzas I've ever had (I still fantasize about it) was from Cassano's found in the Dayton, Ohio area which was known for liberally salting the bottom of the crust. I've never come across anything else that compares.

These aren't trivial changes in employment. Last month, the preliminary gov employment estimates were down 10,000 compared to August, which drove a decline in top line employment in the state. I haven't had a chance to look at other industries or states, but curious if anyone else noticed issues.

This is really great! Thanks for sharing. We've been seeing the same trend in MA, particularly among prime age workers. One other element that seems to be factor here is occupational concentration. Black workers are overrepresented in healthcare in MA, which has had a very tight labor market.
