Donate today Gothamist is funded by sponsors and member donations Good Monday morning in New York City, where you're never too old to learn to bike. Here's what's happening: * The Black unemployment rate in New York City is currently 12.2%, which is nine times higher than the city's white unemployment rate and far higher than the national Black unemployment rate, which sits at 4.7%. One explanation for the stat: A huge number of working-age, middle-class Black New Yorkers have moved to the South in recent years, because it's too expensive to maintain a middle-class life in the city. * Semi-related: New York City ranked dead last (out of 182) in this new WalletHub study of the best cities to start your career. * Things are at least getting a little better for Gen-X women in the city's workforce, who are filling more leadership roles and accordingly seeing their workplaces become "menopause friendly." * "That slow rollout is the product of a choice that we have made as a state ... the choice to do the hard thing": Chris Alexander, the head of New York's Office of Cannabis Management, defended the sluggish start of New York's legal weed industry as a side-effect of "a good faith effort to create diversity in the industry." * Meanwhile, plenty of New Yorkers are driving stoned. * ...and having sex stoned. * People who forgot (or never learned) how to make chit-chat at the office are googling "what to talk about at work." * Congrats to Amy and T.J., the first couple of New York City running, on their Brooklyn Half finishes. * Happy 50th anniversary to famed lesbian cruise line Olivia. * "Do I want to live my life for anyone else’s pleasure or fulfillment other than my own?": Pop star Miley Cyrus says she has no desire to tour again because she's just not into performing for her fans. * Starting tomorrow, May 23, you can get Early Addition in your inbox every weekday morning before it publishes on our website.
