I haven't seen anything about this in non-tech media, but it is ASTONISHING how much RAM prices have gone up this year, due to a combination of tariffs and AI servers swallowing supply. This would have cost ~$75 a year ago. Now it's $400. For anybody looking to buy a computer, good luck.

Why aren't there more big, labor-intensive firms in poor countries?
Answer here: bigger firms use more white-color workers who are in shorter supply in poorer countries.

1/ The supposed "college grad crisis" is a challenging labor market for young people of all educational levels, driven by cyclically weak hiring.
Over the past 12 months, the unemployment rate for HS grads in their late teens was 15.3%, the highest (ex-COVID) since April 2017.

How are we gonna impute October going forward? For aggregate stats, I'm guessing just average Sept and Nov.
BLS confirms they will not publish the October household survey data. Establishment survey to be published December 16.

This is pretty amazing. This guy just won a solid victory in Bucks County, PA, one of the most important swing counties in the country, by *explicitly and deliberately* making his race *all about* nationalizing ICE raids. Confirms the point about this now being a winning issue for Dems.

This is getting pegged as a "conservative idea," but that 8 and 9th month can be pretty hell on foot, and we could make it easier to get a permit for such folks w/o needing a doctor's evaluation for specific musculo-skeletal problems. Illinois already allows this for the 3rd trim. Also, postpartum!
Lawmakers, largely in red states, want to allow pregnant women to use parking spots set aside for disabled people under federal law, regardless of medical necessity.

A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

In the past few decades, no one from the incumbent party has really talked like this so early into the President's second term, no? Paul Wellstone went on a speaking tour ("The Children's Tour") in 1997, followed by forming an exploratory committee in early 1998 before the Nov midterms. (1/2)
this is how the unpopular lame duck era starts: first the ambitious sociopaths announce they want to be next, then everyone else starts to pivot toward protecting their own careers

It's a revealing moment...
J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.
The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

We finally solved that pesky problem of too many college graduates getting jobs
Kevin Hassett: "I think there could be a little bit of an almost quiet time in the labor market, because firms are finding that AI is making their workers so productive that they don't necessarily have to hire the new kids out of college and so on."

Was trying to find if someone did the math on Walmart's Thanksgiving meal cost by holding the items constant for a better '24 to '25 comparison, and of course, @wootenomics.bsky.social made a good post about it.
Walmart says Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper this year.
It’s not. The basket just got smaller.
That makes it the perfect lesson in how economists measure inflation.

The Case of the Cheaper Dinner That Costs More
Walmart says Thanksgiving dinner is 25% cheaper this year. Sounds like great news, right? But there’s a catch. They quietly changed what’s in the meal.
