Today on The Daily: an epidemic of close calls on the runway and in the air -- it's happening far more than you realize. @melbournecoal explains: nytimes.com/2023/09/05/podca…

Close calls involving commercial airlines are occurring far more frequently than almost anyone realizes — a sign of what many insiders describe as a safety net under mounting stress. New investigation by @melbournecoal and me. nytimes.com/interactive/2023…

A chilling read for travelers.
Close calls happen much more frequently than the public realizes, and air traffic controllers are being pushed to their breaking points. Important investigation by @melbournecoal @emilysteel

Major new @nytimes investigation: Close calls involving US airlines are occurring far more frequently than has been made public, with multiple dangerous incidents happening every week on average this year. @melbournecoal @emilysteel nytimes.com/interactive/2023…

Layoffs at Google, Facebook and Twitter have gotten a lot of attention. But what's striking about the labor market right now isn't how many jobs are getting cut, but how few. Overall layoffs remain well below their prepandemic level.

"Anytime we bring in a new hire, they’re not productive on Day 1."
Nice @melbournecoal and @bencasselman piece on how big worker turnover may be dragging down productivity, at least in the near-term.

This piece on job turnover and productivity from @bencasselman and @melbournecoal is great, and it raises an important policy question: how do we get the right amount of the right kind of turnover? nytimes.com/2023/01/03/busin…

Smart story from @JordynJournals @melbournecoal on retailers racing to attract shoppers before consumers run out of gas in the face of inflation, a slowing labor market and dwindling pandemic savings.

Black Friday gets so much attention because consumer spending fuels the US economy. Spending was strong this weekend, but cracks are beginning to show. And retailers will watch this closely as they plan the year ahead. Story with @melbournecoal nytimes.com/2022/11/27/busin…

Job growth slowed In September but the labor market remained strong as employers added 263,000 jobs. @melbournecoal nytimes.com/live/2022/10/07/…

Quits are falling. Wage growth is slowing. Companies are finding it easier to fill positions.
The job market has proved more resilient than almost anyone expected. But there are signs that it may be coming off the boil.

The Omicron wave appears to be cresting in much of the country. But its economic disruptions have made a post-pandemic normal ever more elusive.
@melbournecoal and yours truly on what Omicron could mean for the economy -- and why so much is uncertain:

A big inflation driver going forward? Housing costs. They're high, they're sticky, and they're really important. Here's @melbournecoal with more details.
