  • By demographic, Hispanic workers saw the biggest TRU improvement, dropping by 1.6 percentage points to 25.7%, followed by Blacks workers, with a 1.4 percentage point drop to 26.5%.
  • "Workers must, at the very least, have inflation-adjusted living wage if we are to see an equitable, sustainable recovery."
