"If you get down to five and a quarter all hell's gonna break loose," Rob Ginsberg, managing director at Wolfe Research. The yield on the 10-year Treasury has spiked sharply to about 4.8% this week, about 1 whole percentage point above where it was in mid-July at around 3.7%.

A bachelor's degree has become a common requirement for landing US jobs, even those that didn't previously require one.

Oregon also issued a temporary order in 2022 allowing those without bachelor's degrees to work as substitute teachers. A college degree may increase your earning potential, but it may not hold the keys to the middle class for much longer.

DeSantis also attended a gathering for Republican donors in Florida held by the anti-tax group Club for Growth to which Trump was not invited. In his remarks, Bannon maintained that Trump should be the Republican nominee, saying DeSantis and other potential challengers lacked experience.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore will preside over a new Democratic trifecta—control of the state’s House of Delegates, Senate and governor’s office. BALTIMORE— Wes Moore , the new governor of Maryland, said he wants to fast-track a minimum-wage increase, replenish the ranks of short-handed state agencies and boost education funding in the heavily Democratic state, which for the past eight years was led by a highly popular Republican. Mr. Moore, a 44-year-old Democrat, has been a Rhodes scholar, an Army officer deployed to Afghanistan, a Wall Street banker, a bestselling author and the chief executive of an antipoverty foundation. Mr. Hogan left office with a 77% approval rating and the backing of 81% of Democratic voters, which Maryland pollster Patrick Gonzales, a Democrat, attributed at least in part to Mr. Hogan’s relatively moderate political profile and personal connection with voters.
