10,000 jobs have disappeared in just three months, according to Stats NZ. There are now 50,000 fewer jobs than in December 2023. Auckland lost nearly 5000 jobs, Wellington over 1300, Hawke's Bay over 800, and in Waikato close to 700. Provincial areas have also been hit despite the farming sector being a bright spot in the economy. Economist and Infometrics chief executive Brad Olsen spoke to Lisa Owen.

FreshEd turns 10 in October! Join the celebration: www.freshedpodcast.com/10years -- Today is the last installment for this year in our mini-series called the FreshEd Questionnaire. I've been asking guests a set of standard questions after each interview. These questions focus on some of the hottest topics in education today. For today's episode of the FreshEd Questionnaire we focus on future directions in research. I always love to hear where scholars think research should go in the future. There are so many opinions and ideas. I hope this will be valuable to PhD students or early career researchers looking for some inspiration. I asked a group of academics and researchers the following question: Where would you like to see education research go in the future? Here's what they had to say. Guests include: Rakesh Rajani, Lynn Paine, Laura Chávez-Moreno, Augustina Paglayan, Xavier Dumay, Daniela Romero, Tore Bernt Sorensen, Horward Gardner, Paula Mantilla-Blanco, Gustavo Fischman, Sara Ruto, Brad Olsen, Stephanie Kim, Tim Jackson, Katie Anderson-Levitt, and Garnett Russell. freshedpodcast.com/397-questionnaire/ -- Get in touch!

A build-up of industry income changes could have driven the pay gap between men and women to a historic low. The pay gap for the June quarter is sitting at 5.2 percent, down from the 8.2 percent seen a year ago. It's the smallest margin seen since Stats NZ began collecting the data in 1998. Infometrics Principal Economist Brad Olsen says sectors like transport, IT and finance have been pushing through higher incomes for female workers. "We've also seen continued larger pay increases for a number of quite large female-dominated industries alike - of education and health."

I've been asking guests a set of standard questions after each interview. These questions focus on some of the hottest topics in education today. For the next instalment of the FreshEd Questionnaire we focus on online learning. It seems since Covid-19, universities around the world have embraced online learning. More recently, we hear talk of flexible learning. That is, giving students a choice in how they want to study-- either online, in person, or a bit of both. What does online and flexible learning mean for the university? For the quality of education? And for the very nature of learning itself? I asked a group of academics and researchers the following questions: What are your thoughts on universities embracing online/hybrid/flexible teaching? Here's what they had to say.

Today we continue our mini-series called the FreshEd Questionnaire. I've been asking guests a set of standard questions after each interview. These questions focus on some of the hottest topics in education today. For the next instalment of the FreshEd Questionnaire we focus on the value of enrolling into a PhD program. Is investing years of your life to purse a PhD worth it? While many of our guests find personal fulfilment in doctoral journeys, they're also brutally honest about the structural problems plaguing higher education today: exploitative funding models, unsustainable debt loads, and academic job markets that have fundamentally shifted. We dig into these issues and explore the tension between the intellectual rewards of doctoral study and the harsh economic realities that make the PhD increasingly inaccessible. Guests include: Rakesh Rajani, Lynn Paine, Laura Chávez-Moreno, Augustina Paglayan, Xavier Dumay, Tore Bernt Sorensen, Horward Gardner, Gustavo Fischman, Sara Ruto, Brad Olsen, Tim Jackson, and Katie Anderson-Levitt. https://freshedpodcast.com/395-questionnaire/ -- Get in touch!

We are well on our way to a collective one trillion dollars in debt. In the year to the end of May, New Zealand hit just over 870-billion in gross debt - up 5.4 percent from almost 830-billion last year. It represents an average of just over 160-thousand dollars in raw debt for every person in the country. At the current rate of growth, New Zealand will hit the trillion dollar landmark, inside the next three years. That rate has eased in the past two years as the Government has sought to curb borrowing, and the housing market has been flat.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stats NZ says food inflation was back up five-percent for the year to July. The heftiest increases include butter rising 42-percent, cheese 29, and produce climbing more than seven. Infometrics Principal Economist Brad Olsen says other essentials like milk, steak, and mince are also going up. Olsen says food price inflation probably won't impact next week's Reserve Bank announcement, but it is uncomfortable for households. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The cost of New Zealand's homes are beginning to fall. The latest QV Quarterly data reveals that average prices have fallen by 0.5% over the three months to July. Auckland is down by 1.2%, while Queenstown and Invercargill continue to rise by 2.4% and 1.2% respectively. The average price is now 13.1% cheaper than the artificial Covid peak in 2021. Brad Olsen, Infometrics' Principal Economist, told Mike Hosking with about half a year's worth of sales currently on the market, there's a lot of supply. On the flip side, he says there aren't as many buyers, with employment uncertainty and the hit many people's KiwiSavers took earlier in the year influencing buying habits.

Today we continue our mini-series called the FreshEd Questionnaire. I've been asking guests a set of standard questions after each interview. These questions focus on some of the hottest topics in education in today. For the next few weeks, we'll mash up the answers to each question and put them into single episodes. For today's episode we focus on Artificial Intelligence. It seems every day I read a new article on how AI is transforming teaching, learning, and research. The college essay is dead, I hear. So too is peer review. I hear edtech gurus shouting that the very purpose of higher education is undermined when GenAI can be a tutor, therapist, research assistant, and writer all in one. So, I wanted to find out from academics and researchers themselves what they think. I asked the following question: how are you managing Generative AI in your research and teaching? Here's what they had to say.

Households are still finding it tough to pay for the basics, with high prices not easing yet. Stats NZ has revealed the cost of food rose 4.6 percent in the 12 months to June. It's largely driven by double-digit increases for products like red meat, cheese and milk Infometrics principal economist Brad Olsen says the general economy is still experiencing intense price pressure and weakness - which isn't comforting. "Mince prices are now hitting nearly $22 a kilo. You can't even have a cheap mince meal at a cheap price." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New reports show the to cost to build is up. The OCR was also left unchanged this week - and it's expected to stay at 3.25% Should buyers look into property now before the costs and OCR go up again, or should they wait it out?

If our economy is in recovery, why is the supermarket checkout still so brutal? Listen in on our chat with Brad Olsen, Principal Economist at Infometrics. Brad breaks down why New Zealanders are still facing uncomfortable inflation, despite a gradual economic comeback—and why attractive interest rates aren’t luring buyers into the housing market. Are investors becoming ‘numb’ to world events after years of outlandish headlines? What’s the latest on those infamous tariffs? Why do the US markets seem "unkillable" despite dire predictions? Plus, Brad says Kiwi investors have started actively scrutinizing boards and executive strategies, and increasingly turning to emerging alternative sectors like AI and crypto.

Another cut to the Official Cash Rate still looks more likely than not, according to one expert. The Reserve Bank's kept the OCR unchanged at 3.25 percent today, following six consecutive cuts. It's waiting for more economic data, before further moves. But Infometrics principal economist, Brad Olsen, says the bank's explicitly signalling the chance of more cuts. "If things continue to evolve as they broadly expect, that will give them more scope to continue to cut the Official Cash Rate - maybe one or two cuts by the end of this year."

A view suggests says yesterday's Budget is highlighting New Zealand's fiscal realities. It found more than 21-billion dollars in savings - including nearly 13-billion from its pay equity changes. Despite the many cuts - the Government isn't forecasting New Zealand to return to a surplus until 2029. Infometrics Principal Economist Brad Olsen told Mike Hosking reaching that will be touch and go. He says the next few Budgets are likely to be the same, and it will probably get harder to reach that target -- meaning less spending, or something else, may be required.

Beneath the sands of the Giza Plateau lies a history far more electrifying than the mainstream narrative dares to admit. In this explosive episode, renowned researcher Brad Olsen joins Michael Jaco to reveal groundbreaking discoveries that could rewrite everything we know about ancient Egypt.

Recently, the Ark of the Covenant was mentioned in the news as a declassified CIA document that claimed during a "remote viewing" session, an agent knew the location of the ancient artifact. The Ark of the Covenant was a chest that carried the Ten Commandments or the higher law of Moses. It has been reported that the Ark may have been more than just a container. It was quite possibly a machine that could communicate with non-human intelligence or a weapon capable of using low frequencies to bring down buildings. With advanced technologies being developed, the walls of historical silence are beginning to crack as we can better unravel the mysteries beneath our feet.
