May is AAPI Heritage Month: Asian Americans Are Part of the American Fabric

Today is the first day of Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, a time to celebrate and shine a spotlight on Asian Americans as part of the American fabric. This year, such recognition is particularly important because of the current violence against our community.

The size of the Asian American community hovers around 23 million, accounting for around 7 percent of all Americans, and that small 7 percent contains multitudes, a dizzying and constantly evolving diversity! With members hailing from 50 countries and ethnic groups and speaking more than 100 different languages, the Asian American story in its great breadth and richness has been hard to convey. As a result, the general public does not have a good understanding of the AAPI community, which has contributed to some Asian Americans feeling voiceless or unheard as part of the larger American story. At this moment in 2021, however, while we may feel unheard, we are very visible. ....

When New Zealand’s Parliament extended three days of paid leave to workers and their partners following a miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy or stillbirth, as well as to those whose plans to welcome a child through adoption or surrogacy become derailed, it cast a spotlight on how countries throughout the world treat the aftermath of pregnancy loss.
A Better Balance, a U.S. organization working to improve economic security and expand benefits for pregnant and parenting workers, is one of many groups that has weighed in on New Zealand’s expanded leave. “New Zealand’s policy shift opened up an opportunity for conversations about what workers need to care for themselves and their families,” Molly Weston Williamson, the group’s director of Paid Leave and Future of Work, ....

Louisiana task force recommends raising unemployment trust fund balance to $750M

By David Jacobs | The Center Square
(The Center Square) – A Louisiana task force voted Thursday to recommend using federal stimulus money to raise the balance of the fund that pays for unemployment benefits to $750 million.
The fund has been exhausted by unprecedented demand during the COVID-19-related economic downturn. How much it would cost to raise the balance to $750 million, which under existing law would keep employer taxes and worker benefits at their current level, depends on how much the state collects from employers’ tax payments and how much officials are forced to borrow from the federal government to pay benefits. ....

State officials said last week first-quarter tax payments would begin arriving in the next few weeks, which would allow the state to stop borrowing, at least temporarily. Louisiana Workforce Commission Secretary Ava Dejoie said the state’s debt to the federal government might reach $240 million. ....
