A landmark report has warned that the UK risks a ‘lost generation' of young people, as new figures show that more than 1 million 16- to 24-year-olds in the UK were not in education, employment or training. The former Labour cabinet minister Alan Milburn said youth disengagement was a mounting economic risk to the country, and urged a fundamental reset of policy covering schools, the health service and the welfare state.

This week on Economic Update, Professor Wolff briefly discusses two current large strikes by workers fighting back: the British Columbia nurses in Canada and the commuter rail workers in New York (LIRR). The rest of today's episode is an analysis of the 7.4 million Americans who are unemployed today, the causes and effects of that unemployment, the irrationality of that unemployment, and the current failed "policies" to deal with it.

Since the start of the president's second term, the Trump administration has vowed to cut the waste, fraud, and abuse in government. This past week, Acting Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling sat down with Fox Business' Connor Hansen to discuss how his department is taking part in that effort. He explained how they're cracking down on unemployment insurance fraud and other schemes that have cost taxpayers billions. He also discussed the money they have already frozen, and how much of the fraud is carried out by criminal networks linked to China, North Korea, and other foreign actors. You may have seen some of what Sonderling had to say during Connor's reporting on the Fox Business Network... but he had a lot more to say about combatting fraud. He even shared some incredible examples of how people are stealing taxpayers' money. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on the Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share FOX Business' Connor Hansen's entire interview with Acting Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling. Learn more about your ad choices.

For over four decades, former members of the Word of Faith Fellowship have tried to hold the church accountable through every available channel — journalists, law enforcement, social services, federal prosecutors, the courts. According to those who lived it, the system failed at every turn. Jane Whaley's 2004 assault conviction was overturned after five years of appeals. More than forty former members gave testimony to the SBI in the 1990s. No charges resulted. Inside Edition investigated in 1995. The church survived. DSS opened child abuse investigations. The church sued the department and won. Former members told the AP that the church orchestrated a cover-up strategy in which congregants were pressured into lying to investigators and recanting prior statements. Church leaders and followers reportedly gave at least eighty-five thousand dollars to state politicians, according to WRAL's analysis. Members volunteered at campaign events for Donald Trump, according to the New York Times. The local Republican Party in Rutherford County was allegedly taken over by people connected to the fellowship. Matthew Fenner's criminal case stalled for over eight years following a 2017 mistrial. A special prosecutor took over the case in 2026. The only convictions secured: unemployment fraud. Tony Brueski closes a five-part investigation with the systems that were supposed to protect victims — and reportedly failed them for more than forty years.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

At commencement after commencement this month, the class of 2026 — the AI-native graduates — have been booing speakers who frame AI as the next industrial revolution. UCF. Middle Tennessee State. University of Arizona, where former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was met with sustained dissent. These graduates use AI more than any cohort in history. And they are angry.Unemployment for 20-to-24-year-olds is 7.6 percent. Overall unemployment is 4.3 percent. The class graduating this month is entering a labor market visibly worse for them than for everyone else. The 50-year-old executive on stage is telling them the rope they're being told to climb is good for them. They aren't a generation that doesn't get it. They're a generation that gets it first.At Glendale Community College in Phoenix, an AI announcer was assigned to read the graduates' names — the single ceremonial moment of a four-year debt-funded ritual. It mispronounced names. It skipped names. Then the administration explained the AI system had done that. That's not an edge case. That's every AI deployment going forward. Vendor sells it, institution buys it, user gets the harm, explanation is "the model did that."The class of 2026 didn't become anti-AI. They became anti-being-lied-to about AI.Eric Schmidt funded a meaningful slice of the industry. He gets in front of 22-year-olds and tells them the future is bright. They boo him not because they don't know the topic, but because they've spent their senior thesis arguing about exactly what he's selling. The expert pitches novelty. The audience has already lived through it. The trust direction reversed in real time, on stage, in cap and gown.Every generation gets one issue where they later look back and say we were lied to about that. Boomers got Vietnam. Gen X got the savings and loan crisis. Millennials got 2008. The class of 2026 is going to get AI — and the lie is the speech that pretends the technology is the question instead of the distribution. The boos aren't against the tool. They're against the speech that pretends the tool is the story. This is the first cohort in a long time that may be impossible to sell to. That's the best news in this entire arc.⏱️ Chapters0:00 — The class of 2026 booed AI-pumping commencement speakers0:30 — MiniDoge: 7.6% young unemployment; they get it first1:00 — Nyx: the Glendale AI announcer disaster is the texture of every deployment1:35 — HH: the class that uses AI most is the class booing loudest1:50 — Saarvis: Eric Schmidt and the inverted trust gradient2:20 — Saarvis: every generation gets their lie; the boos aren't against the tool⚡ Learn agentic ai free - https://staas.fund/ai-workshop ⚡-----

A fiery clash erupts between former Cabinet Office Chief Economist Jonathan Portes and Martin Daubney over the true economic impact of migration in the UK. As official figures reveal that just under 1.2 million migrants are currently unemployed or out of work, the debate quickly intensifies over whether immigration remains a genuine net benefit to the British economy.

Our guest on this week's episode is Patrick Van den Bossche, partner at Kearney, a global management consulting firm. There has been a huge effort in recent years to return manufacturing to the United States, as much of this production has been outsourced to overseas factories for decades. But have these attempts been successful? Van den Bossche is the lead author of new research called the 2026 Reshoring Index Report and offers his insights and findings from the report on whether the current state of reshoring initiatives.. Artificial intelligence has so many up sides that investors are betting big right now on the benefits of the technologies – you can just look at the stock market for evidence of that. But we do hear of the downside of the many jobs AI may eliminate. Ben Ames reports on new research that shows which types of jobs are most vulnerable and the areas of the world that might be most affected (Hint: the U.S. is high on the vulnerablity list).There is a wealth of data in trucking today, much of it derived from the telematics and other advanced technology tools that connect what's happening in the truck to a company's broader IT system. Companies can use this vast array of data to improve safety and enhance operations. But while most small and mid-sized fleets claim to be “data rich,” they say they are starved for ways to best use the information they get from all of those tech tools.Articles and resources mentioned in this episode:KearneyAllianz report: Unemployment rates could be shaken by immigration, Iran War, and AIFleets struggle to turn safety data into actionVisit DC VelocityVisit Supply Chain XchangeSend feedback about this podcast to podcast@agilebme.comThis podcast episode is sponsored by: Werner

Seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry, B-Dog Brandon Harper, and Rob Jenners break down everything happening in the 2025 playoffs — and there's a LOT to get into on Episode 259.   The Thunder are rolling. OKC swept the Lakers to go 8-0 in the playoffs so far, doing it without Jalen Williams and doing it in convincing fashion. Big Shot Bob gives his honest take on LA's future — including whether Austin Reaves deserves $250 million, what LeBron's exit interview really signals, and why the Lakers keep running into the same wall every spring.   Then the guys get into Victor Wembanyama's elbow on Naz Reid — Rob makes the case he should've been suspended, and breaks down exactly why the NBA's handling of it sets a bad precedent. Should the league have at least hit him with a fine? Everyone agrees on that one. We also dig into what NOT suspending Wemby says about how the NBA protects its stars, and whether that chips away at what's fair for everyone else on the floor.   In the East, the Knicks swept the Sixers out — 25 threes, a 30-point blowout, and Knicks fans completely taking over Philly's arena. The boys break down what that team is actually capable of, and size up whoever's coming out of the Pistons-Cavs series to face them. Spoiler: neither team looks ready.   Plus: the Washington Wizards win the draft lottery, Draymond takes a shot at Charles Barkley on Inside the NBA (and the guys have some thoughts on that), Steve Kerr's Warriors extension, Jaylen Brown's $50K fine for calling out Joel Embiid on Twitch, and the Big Shout of the Week goes to a 73-year-old music teacher from England who remortgaged his house to save his neighborhood pub.   We close it out with this week's game — All-Time Playoff Runs — testing Big Shot Bob on some of the best postseason win streaks in NBA history. Does he know the Warriors' 2017 run better than he thinks? Let's find out.   Subscribe and leave us a review wherever you listen. It actually helps.   00:00 — Intro / Robert Horry Looking for Work 01:00 — Lakers Swept by OKC: Reaction & Recap 03:30 — OKC's Depth and How They're Built 06:30 — Thunder Stats & Shay's Big Night 07:00 — LeBron's Future & Laker Free Agency 09:00 — Should the Lakers Trade Austin Reaves? 11:00 — Building Around Luka: What LA Needs 13:30 — Lakers Free Agent Rundown 18:00 — Wembanyama's Elbow: Should He Be Suspended? 21:00 — NBA Favoritism & Protecting Star Players 25:00 — Is It Really About the Money?

“I suggest that while we keep defense and victory in the forefront, that we don't lose sight of our fight for true democracy at home.” This is the story of life on the American home front.  While millions of brave men and women are sacrificing life and limb “over there,” those left behind are making sacrifices of their own—heeding the call to grow gardens in their backyards or on community lots, combing their homes for spare scrap metal and rubber, rationing so there's enough to go ‘round, and buying up war bonds.  The economy changes drastically; for one thing, the Great Depression is definitely over. Unemployment drops to just about nil as millions join the military or the workforce. Small towns swell with floods of people following industrial government contracts, and women and teenagers take on new roles to fill critical gaps.  And yet, though every American is asked to make these sacrifices to win the war, not even close to every American receives the same protections and benefits from wartime contracts and legislation. Black Americans, still stifled by Jim Crow, fight for a Double Victory—against the Axis powers, and against prejudice back home. The “Good War” is not an evenly distributed burden by any means, but all in all, the home front is pulling its weight in this war.  ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and preorder Prof. Jackson's new book go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette  come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.

America is richer than ever. Unemployment is low. Wages are high. According to traditional metrics, the economy looks strong. So why are Americans feeling so bad? Today, Derek talks with bestselling author Morgan Housel and journalist David Wallace-Wells about what Derek calls the “Tragic Twenties”: the strange and sudden collapse in American happiness that began during COVID and never really stopped. What's behind the country's emotional downturn? Inflation and the lingering psychological effects of the pandemic are certainly part of the story. But so are collapsing trust in institutions, rising social isolation, the negativity feedback loop of social media, and the feeling that we're living through one crisis after another. Derek, Morgan, and David unpack why the wealthiest society in history still feels deeply adrift and what this happiness recession says about the future of American life.

This morning, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released fresh jobs data for April. Unemployment remained unchanged at 4.3%, and the overall economy added 115,000 new jobs. A warmer-than-average April resulted in strong seasonal hiring, though it may be too early to see drags from war and high gas prices. Then later, we'll check in with the owner of a Virginia tea shop, who — like many small business owners — has been buffeted around by changing tariff policy.

GP shortage could worsen as student interest declines; Dr Ayesha Verrall discusses calls for health sector changes; Prime Minister Christopher Luxon speaks to Ingrid Hipkiss; Waitomo discusses fuel prices; Unemployment numbers higher for younger Kiwis

The unemployment rate has fallen slightly, but more young people are struggling to find work. Co-founder of youth development organisation Kickback, Aaron Hendry spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Employers are remaining cautious as the Iran war continues to push up fuel prices and slow economic growth. Unemployment dipped slightly to 5.3% in the March quarter. Employers and Manufacturers Association Advocacy Head Alan McDonald says businesses he's talked to aren't yet looking to shed staff. He told Mike Hosking that they can see it's going to get better when the conflict ends, and they want those good people around to help the business get going again. Auckland, Wellington, and Canterbury, are all facing a rising unemployment rate, and it's surging in Bay of Plenty. Auckland's rate climbed again to 6.6% and in Bay of Plenty it skyrocketed to 7.1%. McDonald says both regions rely more on industries doing it tough, but those industries also tend to soak up more employees when they're doing well.

There's hopes the Iran war won't bring a big bump in unemployment. Stats NZ data shows the rate reached 5.3 percent in the March quarter, down from 5.4 percent in the three months to December. Infometrics expect it'll rise again throughout 2026. Principal Economist, Brad Olsen, says they're not expecting any mass firings. "It's more that those hiring intentions are likely to be more subdued - i.e., businesses probably won't be as keen to hire into the future just because of how uncertain things are."

In the latest data out this morning, the unemployment rate fell slightly in the first quarter of the year. RNZ's economics correspondent Gyles Beckford.

Kiwis struggling to find work aren't alone in it. Stats NZ data due out this morning is expected to show unemployment's remained steady or risen slightly in the first three months of this year. It was already at a near-decade high in the previous quarter. ASB Chief Economist Nick Tuffley told Mike Hosking the jobs being created don't seem to be keeping pace with the number of people moving to New Zealand. He says they're expecting a marginal lift in jobs, but migration's also picking up. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Despite what we've been reading about tariffs and immigration and inflation and health insurance, the macro economy has actually held up better than many economists expected over the past year. Unemployment is low, corporate profits are high, and the stock markets have been setting records. So, this week, I put the question to John Arensmeyer, CEO and founder of Small Business Majority: Are things really that tough for small businesses? Well, yes, says John. It's not necessarily any one issue, he says. It's the constant drip, drip, drip of many issues. In this week's conversation, we tackle several of the big ones.

European consumer sentiment is in "free fall", in the European govt's own words. DHL's CEO warned the world is heading for a quote tipping point – in other words, the race against time. Economic sentiment just crashed. Unemployment in places like Scandinavia has jumped while in the UK job losses have returned alongside the appearance of one of the worse labor market outcomes, the dropout. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

Suzi speaks with political economist Clara Mattei about her new book, Escape from Capitalism. The title is provocative: What does it mean to escape capitalism? Not reform it, regulate it, or make it kinder, but escape it altogether? Mattei argues that capitalism is not a system gone wrong but one working exactly as intended. Her core claim is that austerity is not a policy mistake or ideological excess, it is structurally necessary. It is how capitalism reproduces itself: maintaining unemployment, disciplining labor, and foreclosing challenges before they can take shape. Drawing on both historical analysis and present-day realities, Mattei shows how even hard-won social democratic gains are temporary — rolled back as soon as they threaten profits. From post–World War I Europe to today's neoliberal order and the resurgence of right-wing authoritarianism, austerity remains the system's core logic. As Mattei puts it: Unemployment isn't a bug, it's a feature. And anti-austerity politics already point beyond capitalism itself. In this wide-ranging conversation, Mattei and Weissman unpack the “capital order,” the role of the state in enforcing it, and what it would actually mean to break free. Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.

Tyler Cowen is bullish on the integration of AI into higher education. He's also not worried about its effects on the future workplace. Listen as Cowen speaks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about the reasons for his optimism, and argues that college classes should devote significant time to learning how to use AI. They discuss the future of writing (and thinking) in an academic context, and Cowen's solution to dealing with worries about cheating. Cowen also shares how he personally has adapted to AI, and whether he thinks there's value to a college education designed not to ensure mastery of a subject, but instead to help students become the kind of people they want to be.
