“The trend is ominous: the steady decline in American
1980
productivity...endangers the ability of the U.S. economy to generate
new wealth at home and undermines the nation’s competitive position abroad,”
Newsweek wrote, citing inflation and worker strikes. Sound familiar? From the
“Great Resignation” to record inflation, America is emeshed in another labor
reckoning, with pushback against hyperproductivity. The article ends: “How
Washington, business and labor respond to those signals will determine
whether the United States can remain the wealthiest society on earth.”

“The troops in Saudi Arabia have
given the crisis a nickname: the
‘mom’s war,’” Newsweek wrote of
the rise in U.S. servicewomen
during the Gulf War. Despite
the uptick, women were still
barred from serving in combat
positions. It wasn’t until
2013 that the ban was lifted.
Today, women comprise 16
percent of the military force.

Sweet Relief
An activist holds up a sign thanking President Joe Biden for providing some student debt relief, during
a rally in front of the White House on August 25. A day earlier, Biden announced that the Department
of Education will cancel up to $20,000 in outstanding educational debt for Pell Grant recipients and up
to $10,000 for other borrowers with federal loans, provided they make less than $125,000 a year or
their total household income is under $250,000. The move fulfills one of Biden’s campaign promises and
serves as his administration’s attempt to rein in the country’s $1.6 billion federal student loan problem.
About one in five Americans have student loans, with 53 percent of borrowers owing less than $20,000.
