Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

What age range is young adult here?
Do we have a link?
I think I found it. A Pew Research Study from 2020 during the height of COVID.
Yeah, I really wish it was a general Lemmy requirement that any post containing statistics be required to provide a source for them unless it's a non-serious community/post.
Mods could police it. Would be a good rule
For those curious 2025 is about 33%
I tried to look, but I'm at work. Got busy.
Where did you find that?
IPUMS Current Population Survey (CPS) Microdata, 2000–2025
Found on a realtor.com research article. Didn't check the original source but I've never known that site to provide fabricated data (and this was historical graphs and everything)
How in the fuck is 30 not fully adult?
Book publishers and economists have a very different definition of what "young adult" means
The link I found says 18-29yo.
It's also from 2020 at the peak of COVID
