Documentary filmmaker Christine Choy recently passed away at the age of 73, as reported by The 19th . Her death marks the end of an extraordinary career spent bringing much needed attention to marginalized voices and systemic injustice.

We’re not ones to shout out fake news willy nilly, but all the recent headlines that are telling us how the U.S. job market is strong, citing low unemployment numbers and steady growth, may not actually be entirely true. If you dig just a little deeper, the real picture isn’t quite so rosy for everyone. As Investopedia pointed out in a recent report , there’s a growing ‘tale of two job markets’.
