☆ A look into Michigan’s economic prospects as automotive jobs see a decline
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-27 | by ( Chris Isidore | Tami Luhby | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +11 min

Jobs in the state’s auto plants, parts factories and corporate offices shrank by 35% since 1990, according to figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And those jobs make up only 3.7% of the jobs in the state, roughly half what it was in 1990. Some of the auto jobs disappeared because of automation. “But it is still the cornerstone of the Southeast Michigan economy. The categories understate the importance.”But other segments of the Michigan economy now rival autos.

☆ Egg prices are on the rise again. Here's why
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-19 | by ( Greg Iacurci | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Brandon Bell | Getty Images News | Getty ImagesEgg prices are on the rise again, after having fallen from record highs in 2023. Average egg prices jumped 8.9% from November to December, following a 2.2% rise the prior month, according to the consumer price index. December's egg price move was the largest relative to other items in the CPI basket, which measures prices of everything from concert tickets to furniture, electricity and prescription drugs. There are more than 368 million egg-laying chickens in the U.S., the USDA said. At the time, a farm group alleged that price gouging and profiteering among major egg suppliers also drove high prices in 2022, though some economists were skeptical that factor was at play.

Power show that, despite more and more EV chargers being available, EV owners are actually getting less satisfied with public charging. When it comes to consumer satisfaction, EV charging is in some very poor corporate company. Away from home, charging your EV costs more than charging at home, sometimes twice as much.

☆ We're not ready to bail on Ford after the UAW deal. But we have lots of questions
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-30 | by ( Paulina Likos | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

The UAW on Sunday released parts of its tentative agreement with Ford, which was first announced last Wednesday. Modeled after the Ford agreement, the UAW reached a tentative labor deal with General Motors (GM) early Monday and one with Chrysler-parent Stellantis (STLA) on Saturday. The only third-quarter sales beat was in Ford Blue, its legacy internal combustion engine unit, which also includes hybrids. However, Ford Blue missed on EBIT (earnings before taxes and interest). We think the automaker can achieve these goals since it has support from its resilient Ford Blue segment, which continues to be profitable in all regions.

UAW President Shawn Fain speaks at a rally in Detroit on September 15. The UAW vastly expanded its strike against GM and Stellantis Friday, although none of the plants is particularly crucial to the automakers’ operations, surprising industry insiders – even experts who predicted the UAW would implement a targeted strike. Nevertheless, the strike marks the first time in history the UAW has struck at all three automakers simultaneously. In leaked messages obtained by CNN, United Auto Workers Union Communications Director Jonah Furman said the plan is to “keep them wounded for months." "They don’t know what to do… this is recurring reputations damage and operation chaos," Furman said in one of the leaked messages.

The union selected the plants as part of targeted strike plans, as Fain and UAW leaders unconventionally negotiate with all three automakers at once. It's calling the work stoppages "stand-up strikes," a nod to historic "sit-down" strikes by the UAW in the 1930s.

The Deep-Water Horizon oil spill, severe pollution in the Niger Delta and Amazon deforestation, could be examples of ecocide, said Jojo Mehta, co-founder and executive director of Stop Ecocide International. A number of others have debated doing the same, including Brazil, Canada, Kenya, the Maldives and the UK, according to Stop Ecocide International. “It is not a question of whether ecocide will become part of international criminal law, it’s only a question of when,” Sands said. A working group, including Thunberg, has also been established to draw attention to the environmental impact of war. If ecocide were an international crime, it could give the process more authority, some experts say.

Matthew Hatcher | Afp | Getty ImagesWhy egg prices increased rapidlyThat dramatic increase in egg prices, economists say, largely stems from a disease called highly pathogenic avian influenza — known as bird flu. It reappeared in the fall last year, crimping egg production while heading into peak demand season for eggs around the winter holidays, experts said. watch nowLower prices now partly reflect a decline in consumer demand early in the year, which is a typical seasonal pattern, said Brian Moscogiuri, a global trade strategist at Eggs Unlimited, an egg supplier.
