Introduction:
In this episode, we explore the challenges facing today’s young job seekers as entry-level positions drop dramatically amid AI-driven disruption and a shifting economic landscape. We then dive into the rare earth materials market, where prices for critical elements like neodymium and praseodymium have soared following the U.S. miner MP Materials’ decision to halt exports to China, intensifying global supply tensions. Finally, we examine contrasting economic signals in the U.S., where business investment in capital goods is surprisingly robust despite consumer confidence in the labor market hitting a four-year low, creating a complex outlook for the economy.
