For the economy as a whole, “The Great Reshuffle” is a good thing.

Sectors that are productive and growing rapidly can suck up the workers they need from more sluggish parts of the economy and put them to better use.

The last time the job ladder was in good shape was during the boom of the Clinton years in the ‘90s, before the Great Recession knocked it over entirely, stranding workers in place for years.

Swim cap company @soulcapofficial tried to have its caps — which fit over Afros — approved for the 2021 summer Olympics, but the request was rejected.

Here's why the decision is a teachable moment for business leaders.

businessinsider.com/olympic-ban-on…
Maritza McClendon, the first Black woman to make a US Olympic swim team and an Olympic silver medalist, called the decision "really disappointing."

She vividly remembers her white teammates at school laughing as she tried to fit her hair into a swim cap.

The International Swimming Federation, or FINA, said the caps didn't follow "the natural form of the head."

From the outside, Lululemon exudes an aspirational lifestyle and is a top competitor to Nike and Adidas.

But 12 current and former corporate employees told @thisisinsider its image is in stark contrast to their experiences at its office.

businessinsider.com/lululemon-corp…
Days after the murder of George Floyd, Lululemon was scrambling in their headquarters to put together a response to the events. A team of about 10 employees spent hours putting together a homepage with “Black Lives Matter” as the headline.

Near the beginning of the proposed text, the phrases “all lives matter” appeared in capital letters.

Ageism and age discrimination against people 50+ robbed the economy of $850 billion in 2018. By 2050, it could cost the US economy nearly $4 trillion, an @AARP study suggests.

Each year, about 250,000 student loan debtors file for bankruptcy.

Of those, fewer than 300 get their educational debt canceled in bankruptcy. That's a success rate of 0.1%.

But those figures don't tell the whole story.

In 2017, only 447 out of the 241,000 student loan borrowers who filed for bankruptcy actually sought to have their educational loans discharged.

The remaining 99.8% didn't bother trying.
