The Ford Transit has long been the best-selling full-size van in the U.S., and also enjoys tremendous popularity in a number of other global markets where it’s sold. This popularity led to a bit of a supply and demand issue over the past few years, though with supply chain issues slowly becoming a thing of the past as of late, Ford Transit production has improved as well – though not in a consistent way. In fact, after increasing in April and May, things took a bit of a dive in June.

As the U.S. economy increasingly relies on migrant labor, a new study by Brookings shows which states and occupations may see the highest need of foreign-born labor in the years to come.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

Lumber prices impact much more than just the lumber industry. For homeowners, fluctuating lumber prices can alter budgets for home improvement projects, additions and new home construction plans. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many of my customers decided to hold off on planned projects to wait for lumber prices to fall. Some asked me to explain rising lumber costs to them, which proved to be a complex process.
