## Resource

United Labor Agency Executive Director Dave Megenhardt closes out a program year with 1,002 job placements, discusses AI’s still-undecided impact on hiring and announces the opening of a new Ohio Means Jobs center in Cleveland — while sharing that ULA is actively hiring counselors. Center for American Progress Senior Fellow David Madland presents new research showing union households hold more than double the wealth of non-union households, with the largest gains going to Black, Hispanic and non-college-educated workers, and addresses a new DOL disclosure rule he says reflects a troubling double standard on corporate versus union accountability.
