Take a look at our latest Productivity by State report, by our Career Expert, Jasmine Escalera Coaching , which analyzes where productivity per worker surged—and where it lagged—in the nearly 20 years since the Great Recession.

Why is productivity so important for workers and employers?
- Workers in high-productivity states generally see greater earnings potential.
- Employers that invest in tech and training are more likely to sustain productivity gains—and avoid worker burnout.
- States that diversify across industries and invest in their workers are more likely to close the gap with leading regions.

👻 Ghost jobs may finally be facing their day in court.

For years, job seekers have been applying to listings that never really existed. Now, lawmakers are stepping in.

The Truth in Job Advertising and Accountability Act (TJAAA) — introduced in 2025 — aims to stop the rise of “ghost jobs” once and for all.

If passed, it would require companies to:
✅: Post only real, currently open roles
✅: Remove listings once filled
✅: Disclose how many candidates were interviewed and hired
✅: Protect applicants’ personal data
✅: Face penalties for misleading ads

This could be a game-changer for rebuilding trust in the job market.

But here’s the question that matters most:
Will accountability laws be enough to change hiring culture — or will ghost jobs keep haunting us? 👀
