California is about to pass the state’s first rules to protect workers inside from high heat. These rules could go into effect later this summer. The new rules for the workplace were approved by a standards board at the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) on Thursday. That means they will be sent to the state’s Office of Administrative Law for a quick final review. If all goes well, the standards could be in place by the beginning of August.

As stated by The Zebra in their History of U.S. Homeownership: how housing has changed since 1960, “The United States is in the midst of a housing crisis.” They report that 40 million renters are currently at risk of eviction. That equates to almost half of the renters in the U.S. in serious danger of losing their homes. While minority residents, primarily Black and LatinX, are disproportionately affected by this, the current economic situation has caused this to hit all races.

Kianna Writes

Maryland is feeling the pinch this year as layoffs surge across the state, affecting thousands of workers. Recent data from the state's Department of Labor, along with WARN reports, paint a stark picture of the job market. For those unfamiliar, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act requires businesses with over 100 full-time employees to give a 60-day heads-up before laying off 50 or more staff at a single site. And, it seems quite a few companies are hitting that threshold.
