Visualizing the Growth in Working Age Populations Over 10 Years

As a result, the U.S. workforce is projected to grow at just 0.2%
annually over the next decade, roughly a quarter of the rate of
markets like India and Mexico. Given the low birth rates and aging
populations across many advanced economies, the world’s workforce is
set to change significantly, with implications for economic and
productivity growth.

India, ranking in third, is set to contribute 24.3% of the world’s
workforce over the next decade. With a current median age of 28.4, its
working age population is expected to surpass one billion by 2030.
These factors provide a significant competitive edge, especially in
the services and manufacturing sectors, while also driving increased
consumption among younger generations in the world’s most populous
country.

Since hitting an all-time high three months ago, the memory-chip

most other chip stocks have taken in that time, as the market has
begun to cool on artificial-intelligence hype. Micron rode that wave
well: When the company reported its fiscal third-quarter results in

only to Nvidia among stocks on the PHLX Semiconductor Index over that

France's new coalition yanks the country a step to the right - The
Economist (No paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=68814&nl=daily]
EUROPE IS A continent of coalition governments, painful to forge and
fragile to maintain. Most European politicians are familiar with their
challenges. For Michel Barnier’s new French government, however,
which met for its first cabinet meeting on September 23rd, this form
of rule is a baffling novelty. For the first time since France’s
Fifth Republic was established in 1958, the country is now run by a
minority coalition government formed by rival parties that stood
against each other at legislative elections. Its survival depends on
keeping its lumpy mix of centrists and right-wingers together, and the
opposition against it divided.

Among the Gaza Protest Voters - The New Yorker (No paywall)
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=68814&nl=daily]
One of the few Jewish dynasties in American politics is the Levin
family of greater Detroit. They may not have the national name
recognition of the Cuomos or the Kennedys, but in Michigan politics,
from generation to generation, they have been impossible to miss. The
federal courthouse in Detroit is named for Judge Theodore Levin, who
served from the mid-nineteen-forties to the volatile end of the
sixties. The Port Authority building fronting the Detroit River is
named for Carl Levin, who represented Michigan in the U.S. Senate for
three dozen years and was eulogized in the Times, in 2021, as the
“scourge of corporate America.” Carl’s brother Sander (Sandy)
Levin, now in his nineties, retired from the House of Representatives
in 2019, and was succeeded by his son Andy Levin, who had been elected
to replace him. All are Democrats—all could even be called, with
some qualifications, progressive Democrats—but within that capacious
category there have always been fissures, and those fissures only grew
deeper last year, after the Hamas-led attacks of October 7th and
Israel’s invasion of Gaza.
