And when it comes to the future, 44% of side hustlers also believe they'll always need one. 'A lot of workers are underpaid'In part, many people who tack on a side hustle do so because their full-time job is not covering their expenses. The median hourly rate for a person working in the food industry is $12.49, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Half of workers in North America believe they are underpaid for their job, according to a 2022 ADP survey of 3,850 North American workers. In May, inflation was up 4% year-over-year, according to the BLS.

The pilot episode of “The Bear,” FX’s frenetic series about a high-end chef who takes over his family’s blue-collar sandwich shop, opens with an unsettling image. The man swings the door open wide and confronts a great, angry bear. At first, he tries to soothe the beast, whispering, “I know.” But the bear lunges at him. The bear is grief. The kind of trauma that grief imposes has become a popular subject on buzzy TV shows.

Eighty-two percent of American adults had a credit card in 2022, according to the U.S. Federal Reserve. Benefits to having more than one credit cardHowever, there can be drawbacks to having just one credit card. In addition, having a second credit card, or more, can help build a person's credit utilization ratio, said Curtis, founder and CEO of Curtis Financial Planning. Credit utilization is an important determinant in one's credit score and having one that's too high can reduce your score. Having more than one card raises one's overall credit limit, and with responsible use, can reduce one's credit utilization ratio.

WASHINGTON, June 23 (Reuters) - Two senators on the U.S. Commerce Committee on Friday wrote seven major automakers urging them not to remove AM Radio from new vehicles. Senator Ted Cruz, the panel's top Republican, and Democrat Ed Markey wrote to BMW (BMWG.DE), Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE), Tesla (TSLA.O), Mazda (7261.T), Polestar (A4N1y.F), Rivian (RIVN.O) and Volvo Cars asking them to commit by July 7 to including AM Radio in new vehicles. Ford Motor (F.N) said last month it would reverse course and not remove AM broadcast radio as a feature in 2024 model vehicles after lawmakers introduced legislation to require them.

When you think of the phrase "soft skills," you probably think of a few specific traits: emotional intelligence, interpersonal ability, an adeptness at communication. That's fine, says millionaire bestselling author Seth Godin — just stop calling them "soft." AI has already automated some traditional vocational skills, from coding and data analysis to copywriting and even architectural design. That's why many companies pay "less attention to soft skills when hiring," Godin wrote. Eighty-nine percent of employers say poor soft skills are a sign of a "bad hire," according to a LinkedIn survey conducted in 2018.

WASHINGTON, June 23 (Reuters) - Two U.S. senators wrote seven major automakers on Friday urging them not to remove AM radio from new vehicles. "Preserving AM radio not only aligns with the growing recognition of its significance but also demonstrates a commitment to public safety and meeting consumer expectations," the senators wrote. Markey said last month the seven automakers had opted to remove AM broadcast radio from their electric vehicles. The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, a trade group representing major automakers, said, "mandating AM radios in all vehicles is unnecessary. Automakers pointed to an existing system that distributes warnings across AM, FM, internet-based or satellite radio, and over cellular networks.

☆ Netflix CEO says $2.5 bln Korean investment won't exploit local talent
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-22 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

South Korea has created some of the Californian company's biggest shows, which have become synonymous with the broader international success of the country's cultural exports and spurred it to announce a $2.5 billion investment in Korean content in April. Don Kang, Netflix's vice president of Korean content, said the company was planning to expand its content investment to films and non-fiction, after previously focusing on series. On Wednesday, Sarandos met with celebrated South Korean director Park Chan-wook and film students and said telling stories from other countries, not just Hollywood, was his "most proud decision". South Korea has produced four of Netflix's 10 most-watched non-English language series, including "Squid Game", "The Glory" and "Extraordinary Attorney Woo". But as Netflix is by far the biggest streaming platform in South Korea, there are also concerns over its dominance.

Indian citizens are by far the most active users of the U.S. H-1B program and made up 73% of the nearly 442,000 H-1B workers in fiscal year 2022. Plans for a pilot program were first reported by Bloomberg Law in February. Each year, the U.S. government makes 65,000 H-1B visas available to companies seeking skilled foreign workers, along with an additional 20,000 visas for workers with advanced degrees. The pilot program would also include some workers with L-1 visas, which are available to people transferring within a company to a position in the U.S., one of the sources said. India has long had concerns with the difficulty its citizens face in receiving visas to live in the United States, including technology industry workers.

☆ New Senate legislation seeks to revise national labor law, targeting port union workers

The legislation, sponsored by Idaho Republican Senator Jim Risch, would amend the National Labor Relations Act and the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947 to deter labor slowdowns and prohibit labor organizations from blocking the modernization of ports. It estimated a more widespread strike along the West Coast could cost approximately $1 billion per day. The recent union workers slowdowns impacted key transportation operations, including truckers, the freight rails and ocean vessels. As a result of the slowdowns, $5.2 billion in cargo was stuck off the West Coast ports. "The PLUS Act takes the important step of making intentional labor slowdowns an unfair labor practice.

But the bots using ChatGPT began to rapidly improve, and SirPugger realized the automated players would soon become almost indistinguishable from human players. In some cases, these AI-powered bots seemed to commiserate with real players, even complaining about the overabundance of bots. At the same time, bot scripts could eventually enhance rather than detract from the social aspects of online games. Online shooters like "PUBG" and "Fortnite" already populate their multiplayer lobbies with AI bots, but the social emphasis of MMOs means that they are uniquely well positioned to reap the prospective benefits of chatbot integration. Worlds would appear to become more populous, and though "real" players might still be cheated out of leaderboard slots, they wouldn't necessarily know it.

☆ Average credit card interest rate is a record 20.69%, but 0% offers are still available, experts say
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-20 | by ( Jessica Dickler | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

The Federal Reserve may have paused its aggressive interest rate hikes for now, but that offers little relief for anyone with credit card debt. The central bank raised interest rates 10 times since last year — the fastest pace of tightening since the early 1980s — and that has caused credit card rates to hit an all-time high. As the federal funds rate rose, the prime rate did, as well, and credit card rates followed suit. The average credit card now charges a record 20.69% — nearly five percentage points higher than the beginning of last year, according to Rossman. "While the skip means interest rates may not rise again this month, the high credit card interest rates consumers are currently seeing are going nowhere anytime soon," said Michele Raneri, vice president and head of U.S. research and consulting at TransUnion.

According to a new CreditCards.com report, Americans are facing "triple trouble" from credit card debt. A new report from CreditCards.com released Tuesday determined the states with the highest and lowest credit card burdens by comparing each state's credit card debts to household incomes. According to Rossman, many Americans are facing "triple trouble" with more people carrying credit card debt, record-high total balances, and elevated credit card rates. Massachusetts had the lowest credit card debt burden, despite ranking 19th in debt and 3rd in income.

Netflix's market weight in South Korea dwarfs that of local platforms such as Tving, Wavve and Watcha. Netflix boasted a 38.2% market share in South Korea last year, according to Mobile Index, overshadowing Tving's 13.1%. Unlike the EU, South Korea does not have laws requiring foreign streaming services to produce or invest in local content. While the project was commissioned by Netflix UK, it centres on genetic cloning fraud in South Korea and includes file clips from broadcasters’ archives. "The government needs to come up with a system to ensure that excess profits can be returned to South Korean creators."

Lockheed and Airbus will tout their LMXT tanker at the Paris Airshow this week, bringing U.S. reporters onboard the A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport on which the new plane is based. In 2011, Boeing won the first of a three-phase procurement to replace the Air Force's aging tanker fleet, securing a contract for 179 KC-46s. But Larry Gallogly, Lockheed’s director of LMXT business development, said Lockheed and Airbus "are most definitely still in this competition." Lockheed and Airbus sought a program of at least 120 aircraft, but “the business case can certainly close below that,” Gallogly said. Boeing Defense CEO Ted Colbert said the KC-46 "has proven to be highly capable" and is ready for the threats of the 2030s.

June 18 (Reuters) - Margins at Boeing's (BA.N) defense unit will look similar in the second quarter to its first-quarter results, Boeing Defense CEO Ted Colbert said Sunday. Margins at its defense unit were negative in the first quarter as Boeing recorded a $245 million pre-tax charge on the KC-46 tanker program. Colbert declined to say whether Boeing would take another charge on the KC-46, which has logged more than $7 billion in losses. He added that there is a “ton of activity” to improve performance at Boeing's defense unit but that it will take time for improvements to be seen. Boeing remains focused on "starting every program the right way," including a contract structure that gives Boeing a "fair shake and healthy business," Colbert said.

There were three important deaths recently: Ted Kaczynski, Silvio Berlusconi, Cormac McCarthy. Or maybe not so strangely assorted; maybe the three men were variations on a theme — that theme being alienation, and specifically masculine alienation, from the patterns and rules of late-modern civilization, and the different rebellions that alienation might inspire. In a phrase, when we talk about traditional modes of manhood, we’re often talking about mastery through physical strength and the capacity for violence. That kind of mastery will always have some value, but it had more value in 1370 than 1870, and more in 1870 than it does today. And the excess, the superfluity, must therefore be repressed, tamed or somehow educated away.

For those who hit the road to travel this summer, there is good news: Gas prices are substantially lower than they were last year. As of Friday, the national average for a gallon of gas is $3.58, down from $5 one year ago, according to AAA. Last year's high prices made headlines, and even prompted politicians on the state and federal level to call for gas tax holidays. And barring any surprises during hurricane season, the outlook for gas prices is mostly stable, Gross said. The national average will probably stay in the range of $3.50 per gallon, he said.
