People keep asking, "Are we in a recession? What's the Fed gonna do? Will I lose my job?" News headlines and economic data tell only one side of the story. We dug deeper for @CNET to find out what's really happening. cnet.com/personal-finance/ba…
Can't afford to buy a home? It's not you. The #housingmarket is officially broken. Here's why rising home prices, high mortgage rates and limited housing supply are sinking future generations and worsening the wealth gap. @cnet #housingaffordability cnet.com/personal-finance/mo…
The internet looks very different from the rooftops where @nycmesh builds connections. Here’s my latest on community-led networks and affordable broadband projects:

Jobseekers have always been the underdogs in the hiring process. In this So Money episode with @Farnoosh, I talk more about how AI is changing the employment landscape.

VICTORY! Never underestimate our strength and solidarity.
BIG NEWS! After winning an online election, our @CNET union is officially recognized!
According to our unofficial count, it was a landslide victory, with over 89% of our bargaining unit voting YES.
Congrats to all the workers for leaving the woodpile higher than we found it!

Exactly one month ago, we announced our union. CNET workers deserve a voice in the workplace. We’re ready to speak loud and clear for the rights of the workers who make @CNET expert, unique, and helpful. Which side are you on? open.spotify.com/track/0TZsy…
If you're on a job hunt, check out my new piece (and video) for @CNET on what AI means for hiring, algorithmic bias and how to compete with the rise of robots. cnet.com/tech/features/the-n…
If you're tired of being ghosted and never getting feedback on your application, that's because AI-powered hiring software is a black box. No one really understands what's happening to them as they navigate the process, says @MitraEbadolahi.

Automation always has human risks, and there's still debate if hiring/recruitment will ever be 100% run by AI. Recruiters feel the process relies on their discretion and judgment, according to @mona_sloane. This is still a human game, says @Chad_Sowash.

New AI policy @CNET affects workers. Before the tool rolls out, our union looks forward to negotiating: how & what data is retrieved; a regular role in testing/reevaluating tool; right to opt out & remove bylines; a voice to ensure editorial integrity. cnet.com/ai-policy/

CNET writers, editors, video producers and content creators have unionized with @WGAEast! CNET has a proud history of tech news, reviews and in-depth reporting. We’re fighting to keep that trusted legacy while securing industry-standard protections and assurances.
On the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, check out this piece by @TheMamaFesto on the high cost of abortion that I pitched & edited for @CNET. More than 50% of those who need abortions live in poverty, and now it's harder to access and more expensive: cnet.com/health/parenting/ab…
Most people pay for abortion services out of pocket b/c they're uninsured or underinsured, or prohibited by law. Lack of access to safe and legal abortions disproportionately affects Black, minority and marginalized communities, and has long-lasting life consequences.

Abortion is an economic question: half of workers are in low-wage jobs and child care is out of reach. As @CarrieNBaker pointed out, "The greatest cost of all is being denied an abortion and having to carry to term a pregnancy that's unwanted."
