The Fed will still deliver jumbo rate cuts to stabilize the weakening job market, the firm predicted. AdvertisementThough most on Wall Street are cheering September's blowout labor report, not everyone is so sure the labor market is booming. Advertisement"The extremely low response rate to the payroll survey waves a red flag," the firm wrote on Friday. The firm scrutinized last month's payroll strength against the fact that other labor market indicators have shown a pullback in hiring. Meanwhile, this week's JOLTS data prompted Deutsche Bank to question how tight the labor market really is.

During a virtual roundtable, we asked Business Insider's Workforce Innovation board to tell us how AI would transform companies over the next year. How will the most innovative companies be transformed by AI over the next 12 months? Last year, we had an AI challenge across the company, and a huge percentage of our employees participated. There are a lot of different points of view on what AI will and will not do and how quickly. And that the promise we think AI is going to deliver will probably take longer than we think to come to fruition.

☆ Scientists are testing a keto cocktail for longevity and vigor — without the high-fat diet
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-03 | by ( Hilary Brueck | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +7 min

JuvenescenceFasting, low-carb, high-fat diets like keto, and drinking ketone esters can all prompt ketones to circulate in a person's blood. Ketone ester drinks don't require the liver to convert fat into ketones, which is what happens with fasting and the keto diet. "If you were wanting to lose weight, you want to be burning your own fat and turning it into ketones," Stubbs said. Ketone drinks don't do that. But she also says that any eventual geriatric recommendation for ketone esters isn't likely to be one-size-fits-all.

☆ Parents who raise kids who are mentally stronger than most do these 6 things
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-03 | by ( Scott Mautz | In Scottmautz | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

And I've applied my findings both to help adults and to help parents assist their kids. It starts by nurturing their mental strength in these six ways. Help your child build this habit when they're analyzing any problem, and you help them become mentally stronger. Help them focus on process versus outcomeWhen kids focus too much on the outcome of their efforts, it can lead to perfectionism. But becoming overzealous about results can eat away at kids' mental strength because so many factors besides effort can influence the outcome.

Some of the ads feature doctors speaking passionately about abortion and saying that Republican candidates shouldn't represent "us" or "our" communities in Congress. But in at least four instances, House Majority PAC, a super PAC aligned with House Democratic leadership, featured Republican-blasting doctors in their ads who did not live in the district where they were advertising. The path to the House majority runs through all four of the districts where these ads ran. Since then, both doctors and patients have often become key personal messengers on abortion for Democrats. But Republicans blasted House Majority PAC over the ads, calling them misleading and accusing the group of spreading falsehoods about GOP incumbents and candidates.

When I got pet insurance, it was tempting to get the cheapest policy until I saw what it covered. When I first started pricing out pet insurance, it was tempting to just get cheap pet insurance. Since my dog is four and very active, I decided to go with a more expensive pet insurance plan. The less expensive pet insurance plan I was considering doesn't cover all of these things, especially the accident and illness exams. It gives me peace of mind, and that's worth every pennyMy pet insurance plan has a low deductible of $250.

I think Jassy is thinking long-term, which is one of the core features of Amazon's leadership principles: long-term thinking. The third leadership principle I think Jassy is enforcing is frugality. The principle says that leaders work daily to create a safer, more productive, higher-performing, and diverse work environment. I think Jassy looks at this and says, "That is what I am doing."
