New Week, New Headlines: your fast-track through the now + next of work.
This week we’re covering three stories shaping how you work, earn, and lead:
- 42,000 US manufacturing jobs lost. Since April, durable goods have shed tens of thousands of jobs—what tariffs, automation, and uncertainty really mean for the economy.
- 72-hour work weeks exploding. Silicon Valley is doubling down on extreme hours while Europe tests the 4-day week. What each bet reveals about strategy and speed vs. resilience.
- Immigration raids threatening America’s skill base. Crackdowns at Hyundai’s EV plant show how politics collide with workforce realities—and why US innovation depends on global expertise.
👉 If you want to stay ahead of the forces reshaping work—from jobs to hours to immigration—this one’s for you.
