Employment and wages had ticked up steadily for black and Hispanic Americans, for women, for workers over 65, and for those without a college degree. In 2019, unemployment was persistently low, and the "quits rate" showed workers were becoming confident enough to leave their jobs for new opportunities. Then came 2020.

A United Nations report this week outlines some conditions that would need to be met in order to pursue such experiments: Participants would need to be healthy and 18 to 30 years old. Ideally, they would be individuals already at high risk of becoming infected. And researchers would need to take precautions to avoid targeting poor and vulnerable populations.
