Last year saw U.S.

employers pretty dramatically pull back on hiring, which could typically pull in more younger, entry-level workers.

That doesn't appear to be happening at the moment.

Telford told us about Manasha Thomas, a 23-year-old who graduated from Barnard College in 2024 with a degree in urban planning.

On the other side of this equation is the people staying in their jobs until later in life and the forces pressing them to do that.

And finally, a few other stories were following.

This year's Davos summit was given the official theme, a spirit of dialogue.

There's certainly been lots of that already this week, though maybe not the way organizers intended.

President Trump's threats over Greenland dominated the day yesterday, and it was the French president, Emmanuel Macron, who turned the most heads with a sharply critical speech.

He said we're entering a world without rules as cooperation gives way to relentless competition.

And Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney joined in with what seemed to be a rebuke of Trump, though he never mentioned him by name, urging like-minded nations to stick together.

But for California's Governor Gavin Newsom, the international response to Trump has so far been lacking.

President Trump is expected to speak at Davos today.

And Vice President J.D.

Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, announced they are expecting their fourth child later this year, and it'll come with a historic distinction.

Vance will be the first vice president known to have welcomed a child while in office.

Vance and Trump have both spoken out about how Americans should have more children, though the New York Times notes how, one year into office, some of Trump's early pro-family proposals, like making IVF free and federal baby bonuses, have not materialized.

The new baby Vance, like all babies born between 2025 and 2028 with a social security number, will be eligible for a so-called Trump account of $1,000 ceded by the government.
