Recently I was sharing a cab with a client on my way to speak at a conference. He turned to me and said that he was interested to hear what I had to say about the state of the U.S. labor market. When I asked him what specifically he was hoping to hear in my talk, he said, “Well, I’m hoping you’re going to tell us where the workers went and when they’re going to come back! We’re dying out here and people just don’t seem to want to work anymore.”

Inflammation is how the body responds to threats, such as infections or injuries. It’s a natural immune response and the body’s way of protecting itself. When the body perceives a threat, inflammation flares up to eliminate the cause of damage. But when inflammation is out of control, it poses a health risk.

The electric Jaguar I-Pace debuted to mostly positive reviews and won design awards for its striking look, but the road since then has been anything but smooth. Jaguar recently recalled the vehicle for the fifth time for an issue that could cause battery fires, and the automaker hasn’t yet figured out a fix for the problem.

At the beginning of this week, Chrysler updated its entire lineup by refreshing the Pacifica minivan for the 2025 model year. The updates include a new Select trim for both the regular Pacifica and the plug-in Pacifica Hybrid while the Limited trim has been dropped from the electrified model. Both powertrain variants are no longer available in Touring grade. At the time, the Stellantis-owned automaker did not release pricing, but according to Autoblog, it's good; if the 2024 destination fee of $1,695 carries over, only one version gets a price increase, and it's a minor one. However, that doesn't take into account the loss of affordable Touring trims, which is similar to the recent loss of the Honda Odyssey EX trim for 2025.

The City of Aurora’s plan for a homeless navigation campus focusing on “work first” is coming together. The City Council will vote during its study session Monday on a resolution sponsored by council member Dustin Zvonek that spells out how the campus will operate. “The City of Aurora wishes to pursue an alternative to the ‘Housing First’ approach, by setting requirements and expectations for housing to include participation in addiction recovery, mental health, and job training programs to better address homelessness,” the resolution states. “It is inhumane and economically unwise to allow individuals experiencing homelessness to remain on the streets, or simply offer unconditional housing, rather than providing them with the necessary support services that offer a structured path to self-sufficiency and housing.”
