Hiring in October blew past expectations, with U.S. employers adding 165,000 jobs and unemployment edging down to 4.1%. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) also revised its jobs estimates upward for the previous two months, concluding that the economy added 186,000 jobs in August, 53,000 more than it previously reported, and 60,000 in September, 31,000 more than it previously reported. However, a detailed look at the October jobs report paints a less encouraging picture of the U.S. job market. While the economy added jobs overall, BLS also found that the number of Americans working part-time rose by 339,000, to roughly…

Did you see Christian Dior’s “Night in Color” ad? It’s gorgeous. A dreamy, fantastical tale set in Paris featuring talking animals, inspired by the friendship of Monsieur Dior and German actress Marlene Dietrich. Directed by French animator Sylvain Chomet, the short film’s delicate illustrations come alive with the voices of stars such as Robert Pattinson and Rihanna. It is oh so pretty. A love letter to storytelling, craft, and art in the infinite stream of AI-generated video vomit. Dior even made a behind-the-scenes video to show how it aligns with the fashion house’s artisanal and design values. The only problem…
GoDaddy CEO Aman Bhutani says he won’t read a report if he suspects it was written by AI— because he knows nobody put thought into it. “If somebody sends me a document and I can tell pretty quickly it was written by AI, I don’t read it,” he recently told Business Insider. “If the person couldn’t take the time to write it, then I definitely shouldn’t take the time to read it.” Bhutani says AI-generated writing is easy to identify—telltale signs include excessive length, an overly punchy tone, and language that is a little too perfect. His goal is to…
Here’s something that might seem unbelievable: The cost of attending college has actually become cheaper in the past decade. Between the 2016-2017 and 2026-2027 academic years, the average tuition and fees declined 8.3% for in-state students at public four-year colleges and universities after adjusting for inflation, according to a new report from the College Board. The decline was even starker at public community colleges, where the average inflation-adjusted tuition and fees fell 12%. Dialing in on this academic year, the New York-based nonprofit found that the increase in average tuition and fees was rather measured, ranging from 2.4% for students…
The Tesla Cybertruck, the polygonal pickup that promised to reinvent the automobile and transport astronauts across Mars, was declared dead today. Its father, one Elon Musk, announced the news on X: “Tesla will be winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas [the only factory that makes it] around the middle of next year.” The Cybertruck was born in Los Angeles on November 21, 2019, announcing a $39,900 price tag and promising 2021 delivery. Despite two of its allegedly unbreakable glass windows shattering during its first public appearance, the vehicle’s looks convinced kids, fanboys, and every nouveau riche who…
Legacy leather goods brand Coach has won over Gen Z, and it’s already translating into results. Tapestry, the parent company of both Coach and Kate Spade, just released its fiscal 2027 first-quarter results alongside a full-year outlook. The company revealed it welcomed 2.6 million new consumers during the quarter, with Gen Zers making up 35% of that group. These first-time customers helped Tapestry grow 12% in adjusted revenue this quarter and beat estimates. But the brands are not pulling equally, with Coach carrying the load. While Coach grew 16% on a constant-currency basis, Kate Spade’s sales fell 10% from the…

Why do some people seem to be getting a lot out of AI, while others—maybe you—still feel like they’re spinning their wheels trying to squeeze anything remotely useful out of these platforms? The answer is multifaceted, of course. Some workflows are better suited to the strengths of large language models, while others are more vulnerable to their weaknesses. Some users pay for upgraded plans, which can improve how well the models work. But a big part of the difference comes down to how you use artificial intelligence. Like any tool, there are ways to make it perform better for you.…
When we think of a leader, charisma—an individual’s ability to motivate people to follow them, share their vision, and ultimately do what they say—is often at the center of our image. Charismatic, transformational leaders are respected, admired, and even loved. A successful business, however, is about much more than one person, and the danger with an overreliance on an individual is that too much power accumulates at the top of the tree. No one person has the answer to everything. Without other viewpoints critical thinking diminishes, staff feel powerless to share their views, and danger arises of the culture becoming…
Whether you’re among the 53.5% of Americans who get their health insurance through work, the 20.1% enrolled in Medicare, or the 10.5% purchasing ACA coverage, mid-October or early November typically marks the start of the open enrollment period for next year’s insurance coverage. Life would be easier if your health insurance coverage stayed the same if you liked it or adapted to your life automatically if you didn’t. Unfortunately, we mere mortals have to make decisions about our upcoming healthcare plan each year, in part because employers and other providers make regular changes to their insurance offerings—in addition to any…
