So those laid off at the beginning of the pandemic struggling here. Employers favor people who are employed or short-term unemployed. Record quits expand that pool. It's going to be rough to move this number.
The latest jobs report shows that long-term unemployment--those unemployed for 27 weeks or more--rose in June to 4.0 million. We estimate the uptick in long-term unemployment was borne completely among those unemployed 52 or more weeks. 9/n

There are major financial, psychological, social, and community impacts with LTU. The scars can last for years, even after people return to work. This is something we need to address as a serious issue.
Notable: There are now more Americans on long-term unemployment (5.6 million on PEUC) than there are on regular state unemployment aid (4.5 million). -->Millions of Americans have been jobless for a year

I think this is partially driven by our focus on employers as customers. They lead with skills gaps and we're reluctant to call out how wages, hiring practices, and working conditions are issues.
I will add that I think part of what drives these misconceptions is how we in workforce development talk about our work. When we lead with a skills gap analysis and narrative, our solutions will understandably point to training as the solution and then that drives the convo.
