She said her unit now aspires to train all of its workers in AI to get them ready "for the AI of the future," and she outlined some of the ways AI is helping bankers do their jobs. She said AI is reducing what she called "no joy" work. Some of the ways the bank thinks AI can come in handy are big and sweeping, while others are small by comparison. Broadly speaking, AI was a hot topic for other bank leaders at investor day, too. "You can't envision one app, one database, or one job where it's not going to help aid or abet."

These signs point to a new normal for Americans' post-pandemic leisure spending, which has stayed resilient despite the higher costs of going out. In 2023, 1.88% of the food and drink transactions Square processed took place between 11 a.m. and noon on Saturdays, up from 1.60% in 2019. Nowhere was the shift toward evening and weekend spending starker than in Boston, one of 23 major cities Square analyzed. There, a 10.1% decline in weekday lunch transactions was more than offset by 10.3% and 1.6% increases in weekend and happy hour transactions, respectively. "I don't really prioritize drinking during the weekdays," Louie said, and his weekend leisure spending "is quite inconsistent."

With private-sector jobs seemingly becoming more precarious because of ongoing layoffs, alternative work schedules are another perk to government jobs. The US Office of Personnel Management uses alternative work schedules (AWS) as a joint term for flexible and compressed work schedules. A flexible work schedule (FWS) consists of core hours and flexible bands. Under a FWS, an agency may only have core hours from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. with flexible hours from nine to seven.

Unlike most in rich countries, American restaurant servers depend primarily on tips for their income. You might not know “dynamic pricing” by name, but if you’ve ever booked a flight, hotel room, or gone to the movies on a Tuesday, you understand it intrinsically: Dynamic pricing is when the price of goods or services fluctuates based on demand. “When confronted with dynamic pricing, customers react negatively,” a 2022 study said . In late 2023, after 35 years, Bayless decided to try dynamic pricing, raising the dinner menu on weekends from $165 to $185. Nick Kokonas, who cofounded Toast, also uses dynamic pricing at his Chicago restaurants.

Public health organizations said the pollution rules would save lives and strengthen the economy by reducing hospitalizations and lost workdays.

The new rule lowers the annual standard for fine particulate matter to nine micrograms per cubic meter of air, down from the current standard of 12 micrograms. will use air sampling to identify areas that do not meet the new standard.

"Return to the office is dead," Nick Bloom, an economics professor at Stanford University and expert on the work-from-home revolution, wrote this week. The share of paid work-from-home days has been "totally flat" this year, hovering around 28%, said Bloom in an interview with CNBC. "We are three and a half years in, and we're totally stuck," Bloom said of remote work. Why remote work has had staying powerThe initial surge of remote work was spurred by Covid-19 lockdowns and stay-at-home orders. While remote work is the labor market's new normal, there's significant variety from company to company, Pollak said.

Officials encouraged people to switch to public transit to alleviate bad traffic from road closures.

According to The Los Angeles Times, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority saw a 10% bump in ridership on the E Line light rail train that runs through downtown Los Angeles on the first two workdays after the incident. While it's too early to know if public transit ridership will be up in November, a reimagined vision of traversing Los Angeles has long been overdue. The transit system simply isn't woven into the fabric of Los Angeles compared to cities like New York and Chicago.
