JUST IN: College graduates now have the same job-finding rate as high school graduates

$100k is officially lower middle class. Here's how much it costs to live "comfortably" in every US state:

US small business employment is collapsing: US small firms cut -120,000 jobs in November, the most since May 2020, according to the ADP Employment Report. Companies with 1–19 employees cut -46,000 jobs, while those with 20–49 employees cut -74,000 jobs. This also marks the 6th monthly decline over the last 7 months. During this period, employment at small firms has dropped -264,000. As a result, the 3-month average dropped to -59,333, the weakest reading since the 2020 pandemic. More rate cuts are coming.

More US families are renting because it’s far cheaper. Pretium says mortgage rates would need to drop from about 6.2% to 3.7% to make owning cost-competitive again.
