For a town with a population of just over 1,000, a Bible college and a quaint main street, there’s an unusual amount of bustle in Ellendale, N.D. A housing project with 20 homes is going up, along with a 38-unit apartment complex. Even a new pickleball court just opened.

I’m the daughter of immigrants. The LA I know isn’t in the news.

My mom has been a housekeeper for as long as I can remember.

Another year, another viral tweet argues against “learning to code.” The latest one comes with cherry-picked data implying that art history majors outperform computer scientists in labor markets. Yet the underlying data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York prove the opposite. Art history grads have low unemployment—just 3%—because they are actually underemployed: 47% work in low-wage jobs that require no college degree and earn almost half the median... Read more
