The US is back to record-high employment, but the labor market looks nothing like it did in early 2020. For starters, many in-person service sectors are still struggling to get back to the employment levels seen before the pandemic. Transit and ground passenger transportation, which includes school buses and public transit, is also still not back to pre-pandemic employment either. "I think overall, accommodation and the broader leisure and hospitality industry will return to pre-pandemic employment levels," Zhao said. The changing labor market could be good for workersThe labor market shakeup isn't necessarily a bad thing.

So wouldn't it make more sense to start paying with $2 bills instead? BEP doesn't have to request new $2 bills each year, like it does for other bills. Bad luckThe United States first issued $2 bills beginning in 1862, around the time the federal government first started printing paper money. It's also more efficient to print $2 bills than $1 bills because the Treasury can print twice as much for the same amount of money and requires less storage. In short, he concludes, $2 bills are underappreciated in the United States and a way for strangers to meet and engage.

☆ Why California can just decide what cars people buy

A core part of federal emissions regulations since the early 1970s has been the so-called California Waiver. Nik Wheeler/Corbis/Getty ImagesBut, in 1967, it was Reagan, then the governor of California, who signed off on the creation of the California Air Resources Board. By this time, the groundwork had already been laid for California to set its own rules and that continued with the “California waiver,” a part of federal regulations that made this special exception for California. During his tenure, President Donald Trump asked the courts to do away with the California waiver. President Joseph Biden’s administration dropped that effort and, in March 2022, the California waiver was renewed once more.

Rethink Robotics was founded in 2008 with the idea that a cobot — a robot working alongside humans in ways that traditional automation couldn't (i.e. "There is no such thing as the cobot without Rod Brooks," Beane said. "No one needs a two-armed robot," Beane said, describing that design decision as "humans projecting onto a robot their own physical form." The opportunity for robotics technology remains significant, though it is still trailing other automation approaches in market penetration. "Manufacturing is about high throughput and high consistency and you can automate the heck out of it without a cobot," Beane said.

☆ How BlackRock is angling to get it on the boom in renewable natural gas, a controversial energy source

BlackRock's acquisition of Vanguard Renewables underscores the rise of renewable natural gas. It is also where the world's largest asset manager went and found its latest target: An eight-year-old energy company with 160 employees called Vanguard Renewables. Last month BlackRock said one of its funds would acquire Vanguard (no relation to its asset management rival), which produces what the industry calls renewable natural gas, or biomethane. "The gas industry has done a great job in branding both natural gas and renewable natural gas. RNG projects capture methane, which has a far greater global warming potential than carbon dioxide, and turn that into a renewable energy.

Now, I spend $725 a month on lawn care, housecleaning, and meal kits, and I wish I'd done it sooner. They taught me that you don't spend money you don't have, a rule I took so seriously I never had a single cent of consumer debt to my name (not even student loans). Spending money this way has given me back a lot of mental space, energy, and hours in the day. This is where spending money looks more like an investment than a waste of funds.

Hilary Hattenbach and her husband, Jared, became Airbnb superhosts after guests gave good reviews. To make it a success, they priced it low, furnished it enthusiastically, and learned on the fly. Airbnb charges guests a 14% service fee and hosts a 4% fee. Originally, we'd low-balled the cleaning fee because we'd resolved to do the cleaning to save money. When the pandemic hit in early 2020, we took in former Airbnb guests for what was initially a six-month lease that was ultimately extended.

CNN —If you’re ever stranded in your car because of a winter storm, being prepared can be the difference between survival and serious harm or death. Winterizing your carRegardless of whether a severe storm is coming, prepping your car to handle winter weather is something you should do every fall, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Replace worn tires and fill low tires with air to the pressure recommended for your car. • Keep your car in proper working condition by checking the heater, defroster, brakes, brake fluid, ignition, emergency flashers, exhaust, oil and battery. You can exercise in your vehicle to keep warm, but don’t exhaust yourself while doing so or clearing your windows or exhaust pipe.

☆ Nigeria is oil rich and energy poor. It can’t wait around for cheaper batteries

But it’s coming under huge pressure from developed countries to abandon fossil fuels and shift to renewable energy in order to help save the climate. AKINTUNDE AKINLEYE/EPA-EFE/ShutterstockLike the United States, Europe and Britain, Nigeria sees a prominent role for renewable energy, notwithstanding its investments into gas power. “In Nigeria, clean energy is central to our government’s plan to transition to net-zero emissions,” Osinbajo, the vice president, continued. In Nigeria, energy poverty is itself a major driver of emissions, according to Olu Verheijen, the founder of Lagos-based energy advisory business Latimer Energy. This means that in some cases, certainly for Nigeria, gas has an important role to play in providing power.

☆ Microdosing magic mushrooms for 6 months left me feeling healthier, happier, and more in harmony with others

Benjamin Ramm first took psilocybin in a controlled setting in the Netherlands in 2019. So I turned to a medicine that I knew could help reset my mind: psilocybin, or "magic" mushrooms. In April 2019, I'd had my first immersive psychedelic experience — a significant dose of psilocybin truffles, on a retreat in the Netherlands organized by the UK Psychedelic Society. For some time, I had wanted to try microdosing and felt more confident about experimenting with psilocybin after the retreat. When taking a significant dose for the first time, I think it is essential to be in the company of supportive friends or experienced facilitators who offer guidance.

Automakers are now shifting to electric vehicles, which could make up one-quarter of new sales by 2035 , analysts project.

In that scenario, the researchers found, the United States could cut emissions just as deeply with around 205 million electric vehicles. “Right now it can be inconvenient to own an electric vehicle if there are no charging stations around.
