To determine which states have the best economy, we look at overall economic growth and annual job growth on a percentage basis, as well as the health of state finances. We measure the breadth of each state's economy by looking at how many major corporations are headquartered there. IndianaWhile the Hoosier State's economy is hardly a barnburner, Indiana offers stability. The state's debt rating is solid. UtahThe Beehive State's economy just keeps buzzing.

Mexico is now the US's top trade partner. Mexico surpassed China as the US's top manufacturing trade partner in 2023. In 2001, China joined the World Trade Organization, a group that grants members preferential tariffs when trading with one another. That access opened the door to China to become a leading trade and manufacturing hub, as the Dallas Fed pointed out. Mexico, for its part, benefits from increased trade with the US — beating out China in US trade volume means it's climbing on the world stage.

☆ US factories are booming, but finding workers is still a struggle

Despite that huge jump in manufacturing construction, employment in the sector has been stagnant over the last year, suggesting filling the new factories with workers could be difficult. Notably, other advanced economies have not experienced such surges in manufacturing construction, according to the Treasury Department. Since President Joe Biden took office, around 800,000 manufacturing jobs were added, or a 6.5% growth rate. This year has seen manufacturing employment remain especially stagnant, growing by just around 4,000 employees since January. Though many of the 1.4 million manufacturing jobs lost at the beginning of the pandemic have been recovered, many economists are worried all these new factories across the country could struggle to find enough workers.

To feel comfortable or financially secure, Americans need a salary of roughly $233,000 a year on average, Bankrate found. Although 1 in 3 Americans say low pay is the reason they don't feel secure, other factors are adding to the anxiety. Why Americans don't feel financially secureThe biggest contributors to Americans' financial insecurities may be things outside of their control. Other factors include the economic environment, which 48% of survey respondents cited, and rising interest rates, cited by 36% of respondents. As for retirement savings, 60% of Americans say they don't have a retirement-specific savings account, according to a recent NerdWallet survey.

Delaying kids and priced out of homes, the typical Australian millennial looks similar to Americans. Student debt averages $16,000, and the government doesn't collect until you reach a certain income. Australian millennials have also empowered a political party, the Greens, with their housing woes. In 2017, 60 Minutes Australia asked Melbourne real-estate mogul Tim Gurner if Australian millennials were forever locked out of the housing market. Also frustratingly locked out of the housing market, Australian millennial voters have pushed a third-party, the Greens, into a seat at the table.

☆ Mortgage rates are going up again but home prices aren’t coming down: Why the housing market is out of whack
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-08 | by ( Elisabeth Buchwald | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

But after 10 rate hikes, the housing market — traditionally one of the most interest-rate-sensitive areas of the economy — is anything but predictable. Mortgage rates then continued to climb in tandem with the Fed’s hikes until November, when mortgage rates peaked at 7.08%, despite four subsequent rate hikes since then. Higher mortgage rates have reduced home inventoryIn theory, when mortgage rates go up, home prices should fall since it raises the cost of homeownership, thereby reducing demand. That’s partly because the higher mortgage rates that came after the Fed hiked rates created a major lock-in effect, said Kiefer. “That tells the crux of the story for why the housing market seems a bit odd right now,” Divounguy said.

Despite talk of U.S.-China economic de-coupling, recent data show a trade relationship that is fundamentally solid, and rebounded in 2022 from five years of turmoil wrought by a trade war and COVID-19 disruptions. Two-way trade hit a record $690 billion last year as U.S. demand for Chinese consumer goods rose and Beijing's demand for U.S. farm products and energy grew. U.S.-China trade had fallen after 2018, when former President Donald Trump imposed tariffs of up to 25% on some $370 billion in Chinese imports, but began to rebound during the COVID recovery of 2021. Reuters Graphics"I think it is important that people realize that business and politics are separate," said Michael Hart, president of the American Chamber of Commerce in China. "The current state of U.S.-China trade and investment is the result of 30 to 40 years' worth of ongoing trade and investment."

However, Knowles and Rowland are among the few that have taken their real estate interests beyond the glitz and glamor of purchasing luxurious homes.

Florida now contains five of the 10 most overvalued cities in the US, thanks to hoards of newcomers in recent years. Tampa, Florida is now the third most overvalued housing market in the country, with buyers paying a 43% premium.

That's a big jump from August 2021, when Florida had zero cities that cracked the top 10. High mortgage rates have driven up borrowing costs for buyers, while limited housing supply has pushed prices higher.

Background check company Checkr recently analyzed the 100 largest U.S. cities to find the 10 best cities for earning potential. They used data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Bureau of Economic Analysis to create a score based on real per capita personal income, 10-year income growth and percentage of households making more than $200,000. The results span various regions of the country. Here are the 10 best cities for earning potential, ranked from highest earnings potential to lowest and including the median household income in each city per the Census Bureau.

CNN —If you’ve made it to your 40th birthday without tying the knot, you’re not alone, according to a recent report from the Pew Research Center. A look at 2021 US Census Bureau data found a quarter of 40-year-olds in the United States had never been married, the research center announced Wednesday. The findings were a “significant increase” from the 20% of unmarried 40-year-olds in 2010, according to the study. The findings, which suggest a shift in Americans’ views of the importance of getting hitched, differed widely to the statistics reported decades ago in 1980, when just 6% of 40-year-olds had never married, Pew reported. If the pattern continues, the research center anticipated that “a similar share” of never-married 40-year-olds would also get married in the coming years.

☆ Resetting student loans brings Econ 101 lessons

A U.S. Supreme Court ruling against President Joe Biden’s student loan forbearance erases as much as $20,000 in potential relief for graduates. Combined with the resumption of debt payments, borrowers will be feeling the pinch in their wallets and their confidence. The court said on Friday that a plan to wipe out swathes of student loans was unconstitutional, ending hopes of an easier financial future for some 43 million borrowers. If the Supreme Court had supported the relief, it also risked stoking inflation just as it slides to a healthier level. The proposal aimed to relieve $10,000 of student loans for individuals earning less than $125,000 annually, and an additional $10,000 for eligible borrowers who received Pell Grant subsidies.

How SSI's asset limits may be raisedIn new research, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities considers the effects of raising or eliminating the asset limits SSI has for beneficiaries. That $100,000 threshold would be in line with the amount eligible SSI beneficiaries are currently allowed to hold penalty-free in ABLE accounts, tax advantaged savings programs for people with disabilities. Another change — excluding the consideration of retirement accounts — could also help bolster SSI program eligibility.
