ATLANTA (AP) — Jimmy Carter has always been a man of discipline and habit. The latest round includes a flood of messages from world leaders and pop culture figures donning “Jimmy Carter 99” hats, with many of them focusing on Carter’s four decades of global humanitarian work after leaving the Oval Office. The year Carter was born, Congress passed sweeping immigration restrictions, sharply curtailing Ellis Island as a portal to the nation. As governor and president, Carter set new marks for appointing Black Americans to top government posts. At 99, Carter’s Sunday online church circuit includes watching Georgia’s first Black U.S. senator, the Rev.

UPS plans on hiring 100,000 seasonal workers to beef up its workforce for the holiday season. Working as a seasonal employee can be the first step toward a $170,000-per-year pay package. Thanks to a new contract for UPS workers that was negotiated by the Teamsters union, some full-time UPS drivers are now earning a pay package worth $170,000 a year, including benefits. Hourly pay will start at $23 for seasonal package drivers and $21 for package handlers. Despite increased pay for the seasonal UPS workers, the job market is still tight, and it's uncertain how challenging it will be to find workers, Lavery said.

Put it this way: If our story is that Fed tightening will produce a recession, we’d expect that to work mainly though housing, the usual channel. Indeed, Fed hikes led to a big rise in mortgage interest rates, which hit 7 percent almost a year ago and have fluctuated since then. Coy: Paul, you were right to call out those who thought we needed a punishing recession to get inflation down. The labor market has held up surprisingly well, which is wonderful.

Kevin O'Leary probably made over 20 times his money from one "Shark Tank" investment.

O'Leary said on "The Daniel Mac Show" earlier this year that among his "Shark Tank" investments, Basepaws was his biggest winner in percentage terms. If O'Leary paid $125,000 for a 5% stake, he would have made about $2.4 million or 20 times his money, ignoring any dilution.
