"Prioritize Worker Well-being: Quality Jobs and Living Conditions"

The recent report indicating the addition of 303,000 jobs in March and a decrease in unemployment rate to 3.8% may seem promising. However, it's crucial to consider the quality of these jobs and the living conditions of the workers. The mild wage growth of 4.1% from the previous year is not sufficient to combat the rising cost of living. Therefore, it's necessary to reassess our economic metrics and incorporate holistic human factors. We urge you to advocate for policies that prioritize the well-being of workers, such as improved wages and working conditions, particularly in struggling sectors like healthcare, education, hospitality, and government. This approach will provide a more comprehensive view of our nation's health and stability.
