"Sometimes I still get a little confused and jumbled up because you'll be thinking you're going northbound and you're coming southbound and it just because you do it every day, repetitiously," she says. "But you just correct your mistake and keep the train moving. Starting pay for conductors is $24.32 per hour and increases to $34.75 in the sixth year of service, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. She has to be disciplined and reliable to keep the train running on schedule, first and foremost. Since joining the agency, Dinnall has had two children, got married, got divorced, and got engaged to remarry again. She makes three round trips: The Q train starts at the Stillwell Avenue station at Coney Island, snakes through Brooklyn, heads uptown through the heart of Manhattan, and ends the first leg of the trip at 96th Street on the Upper East Side a little over an hour later. The interruption can be "annoying." Sometimes you'll get occasionally the person that wants to hold the door." She took her first job with the agency as a property protection agent and later became a station agent, conductor, train operator, and finally a conductor again. Employees must go through "extensive training" to become a conductor, Dinnall says. Every day, she helps shuttle New Yorkers and visitors through three loops on the line, which runs from Coney Island to the Upper East Side and through some of the busiest areas in the city, including the iconic Times Square station.

What's It Like to Leave the Classroom for a Job in Edtech? (EdSurge)

After three years of facing heightened stress since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic — not just the safety worries, but also the political frays ...

“The biggest struggle if you've always worked with students — when you apply in the corporate world, you need to be able to show what you’ve done with adults,” Brown says. That can hurt them if they want to jump to edtech, where employers are looking for teachers who are leaders among their peers. Brown says that teachers shouldn’t wait until they’re ready to quit to think about what they want in the next five, 10 and 15 years. With career coaching from Brown, Jatzke says she was able to see how her skills as an educator were transferable to roles on the corporate side of education. Negotiating her salary was an adjustment for Nicole Jatzke, a former New Jersey teacher who left that industry in 2021, who was accustomed to salary rungs based on experience. “I didn’t have anything lined up, but I knew it was time to go and make that leap of faith,” Jatzke says. “Edtech is not going to be the solution for every teacher,” she says. “It really closely aligns to the role of a teacher because that’s what we were doing with students,” Robbins says. If they are ready to take the plunge, Brown says the next challenge teachers will face is figuring out which edtech roles best align with their skill set. When she got her current position as a strategic customer success manager four months later, she was inundated with messages from teachers asking for advice about how they could do the same. In it, Brown not only gives advice on how teachers can begin their search but asks them to reflect deeply on whether an edtech transition is truly the right move for them. When teachers pack up their classrooms for the last time to start their edtech careers, where exactly are they going?

A Kansas bill hopes to weed out bad cops by sharing job applications (KCUR)

Police departments in the state already can alert each other to officers who've been disciplined at past jobs.

It is a go-to place for agencies to see if officers have been disciplined before. Blaise Mesa reports on criminal justice and social services for the Kansas News Service in Topeka. Doug Schroeder is executive director of the Kansas Commission on Peace Officers' Standards and Training. Law enforcement agencies can share application materials with other departments that show why they rejected a candidate, but they currently don’t have to. It could especially benefit smaller agencies that have fewer resources to screen candidates. State law was amended in 2018 to address that concern.

I quit my retail job last year and work red carpets as an influencer (Business Insider)

Amanda Castrillo is a 26-year-old content creator who quit her retail job last year. She gets paid thousands of dollars to promote TV shows and movies.

Paramount is cool about the fact that I also do promotions as an influencer: I actually put my TikTok account on my resume when I applied. One month later, I was offered a job as a social producer at Paramount. The only difference sometimes is literally my skin or gender, and what can I do about that? I literally felt like I was living in a movie. I just started emailing companies my credentials and stuff I've done with my followers. It blew up, and people started asking for my opinions on other characters and other TV shows.

NRA predicts job, tech growth in 2023 (Food Business News)

The forecast comes from the National Restaurant Association's 2023 State of the Restaurant Industry report.

In the quick-service and fast-casual segments, 40% of operators expect drive-thrus will become common additions in 2023. Examples include the growth in outdoor dining locations, with 9 out of 10 operators saying they will continue outdoor services, and expanded delivery options for remote dining. Some of these difficulties can be offset by streamlined menu offerings, creating new meal occasions using off-hours or slow day deals, and appealing to health and nutrition trends. More than 40% of operators are planning to invest in technology solutions this year as a result, particularly those that increase productivity across ordering and payment operations. “Our hiring rate and wage increases are outpacing the overall private sector, and this year our industry will contribute nearly $1 trillion to the economy.” While the foodservice sector added nearly 3 million jobs between December 2020 and December 2022, employment levels are still yet to reach pre-pandemic numbers.

But I have witnessed no comparable expansion in the market for public health jobs.

Without the stability of long-term employment, public health agencies are prevented from developing long-term plans for how they will respond to future pandemics and natural disasters, along with meeting routine ongoing needs such as childhood immunization and responding to community needs such as addressing the opioid epidemic.

I would particularly appreciate input on the legal, regulatory, and funding issues of recruitment in public health. It was only later, in retrospect, that I realized that the interviewer had quite naturally interpreted my desperate plea as a demand for the creation of budget lines for permanent, indefinite, full-time jobs with full benefits, including vacation time, sick days, health insurance, professional development – whereas really, I should have specified that I had a much more modest goal in mind. Working in public health across the non-profit and academic sectors, I have learned that there’s no such thing as job security, so I’m always on the lookout for an opportunity. Let’s get real about the numbers: in my 20+ years of employment in public health, I have never had an employment contract that lasted longer than 2 years.

Private companies added 242,000 jobs in February, in yet another example of the strength of the labor market, payroll firm ADP reported on Tuesday.

“The terminal level for policy rates will be slightly higher than previous expectations as the timing of an economic slowdown has been pushed further down the road.” On Tuesday, he told the Senate Banking Committee that the central bank has a “long way to go” before it can consider inflation tamed. The modest slowdown in pay increases, on its own, is unlikely to drive down inflation rapidly in the near-term.” Then Friday will bring the monthly jobs report, with expectations for a gain of around 215,000 following January’s blowout 517,000 increase, although that may have been affected by seasonal adjustments that occur annually at the beginning of the year.

Job openings fell, quitting slowed, layoffs rose in January as labor ... (USA TODAY)

Job openings declined in January while layoffs increased in signs demand for workers may be easing. The number of people quitting jobs also fell.

Still, Fed officials are closely monitoring the JOLTS report, especially openings, to gauge whether employer demand for workers is easing, a development that could mean more modest job gains in the month ahead. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg estimate employers added 215,000 jobs in February, which would continue last year’s slowing trend and suggest the outsize January figure was a blip, possibly caused by unseasonably warm weather. The dip in January is encouraging but openings pulled back last year only to rebound. Job growth, consumer spending and inflation were all gradually pulling back last year before unexpectedly surging in January. Companies may not remove job postings even if they’re no longer seeking to fill certain positions, for example. They remain below the record 11.9 million advertised in March 2022 but well above the pre-pandemic level of about 7 million.. That means 2.5% of workers voluntarily left their jobs, typically to take higher-paying positions, down from 2.6%. Fed officials are seeking such a slowing in the labor market to provide evidence that inflation is poised to ease. See the list.](https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2023/03/07/walmart-store-closures-list-2023/11419149002/) While job openings are "heading in the right direction...the decline is far too modest to convince (the Fed) that labor market conditions are cooling enough to bring down inflation," economist Matthew Martin of Oxford Economics wrote in a note to clients. Openings had broadly eased last fall before surging again in December. Employers advertised fewer job openings in January and the number of people quitting fell as layoffs increased in possible signs the torrid labor market is cooling.

Job Openings Fell Slightly in January; Layoffs Rose (The New York Times)

The monthly data points to a cooling in the frenetic pace of hiring even as the labor market remains strong.

The number of people voluntarily leaving their jobs, which has been elevated as workers continue seek — and find — higher-paying jobs, fell in January by 207,000, to 3.9 million. The increase was driven by a surge of layoffs in the professional and business services sector, which includes advertising, accounting and architectural businesses. An open question is whether the slowdown in the job market is sufficient for policymakers. That is the highest number since December 2020, when a winter wave of Covid-19 cases swept across the country and jolted the economy anew. Still, although employers have proved remarkably resilient in the face of the Fed’s interest rate increases, the drop in open positions is the latest indication that the once red-hot labor market is slowly cooling. Other measures in the report on Wednesday also suggested that the labor market was gently settling into a more normal state.

Declines in both job offers and offer acceptance rates are forces behind the lack of an increase in job-finding rates over time, despite the increase in the number of job applications. Since 1980, the probability of receiving no offer increased from 38% to 43%, as seen in the first pair of columns: As unemployed workers simultaneously send out more applications, competition for offers increases, which lowers the likelihood of receiving an offer for a given worker. The right panel of Figure 3 plots acceptance rates given the number of offers received. Since the 1980s, the rate at which workers flow out of unemployment into employment—the job-finding rate—has shown no secular trend. Between 1979 and 1980, the majority of unemployed workers submitted 0-3 applications per month, concentrated in the left tail of the distribution. The advent of the information and communications technology revolution in the 1980s introduced significant improvements in search technologies, changing the way unemployed workers look for jobs.

Why Is a Day Job Seen as the Mark of an Artist's Failure? (The New York Times)

A group show at the Blanton Museum of Art breaks the taboo on artists discussing, and drawing on, their day jobs. Yet this stigma still exists.

In this light, the intertwined but distinct relationship of artworks and day jobs is something to be recognized, and protected: no shame in saying, “You know, I’m an artist too.” And no shame in confiding: “You know, I’m an art handler too.” You don’t have to be poor to be a great artist. Who hung the rest of the “Day Jobs” show? Clynton Lowry, an art handler and artist who has shown at [the Kitchen](https://thekitchen.org/event/in-support), in New York, started the project in 2015. [Art Handler magazine](https://www.instagram.com/arthandlermag/), an Instagram account and erstwhile journal focused on the art world’s back of house. “I’m grateful that I have a day job,” said Montgomery, one of two artists in “Day Jobs” who still have theirs. And both mentioned the value of coming into contact with different kinds of people — a point echoed throughout “Day Jobs” under subheadings like “Caregivers” and “Service Industry.” [Manuel Rodríguez-Delgado](https://themissionprojects.com/artist/Manuel-Rodriguez-Delgado) involving a climate-sealed notebook and custom shipping crates glances off the unwieldy category of preparator work, and the wall label for Sol LeWitt’s “Wall Drawing #48,” per his instructions, names the people who drew it. Montgomery](https://hellovlm.com/), a video artist in “Day Jobs,” told me one of her (more privileged) classmates at Yale called her a sellout because she worked. [Jeff Koons](https://whitney.org/exhibitions/jeff-koons), aptly represented at the Blanton by his gleaming steel bust of Sun King Louis XIV, was a successful commodities broker before he conquered the art market. “I’m thinking of one instance of a gallerist who was bragging about starting to represent an artist while they still taught at the Y.M.C.A.,” said Wohl. (Miriam Takaezu, an employee in Personnel and sister to the famous ceramist [Toshiko Takaezu](https://www.toshikotakaezufoundation.org/about-toshiko), apparently took it upon herself to hire artists.) There’s a scene in the 1996 movie “Basquiat” where the incandescent young painter (played by Jeffrey Wright) has a handyman gig at a gallery.
