Great read as always! I enjoy seeing the data that the unemployment rate has been below 4% for so long. I am writing about how AI can help industries as I know many people worry that AI will replace jobs. However, the data shows that more jobs are coming into play consistently. AI only helps us do our jobs more efficiently. We are overcoming inflation as well which is amazing. Keep up the good work Matt!

Thank you so much! I look forward to the post on AI. I agree it can prove helpful. My main concern is if the development and use of AI is *only* based on corporate profits and without concern for how it impacts us as a whole, I see there being problems with that. I am grateful the Biden administration has already gotten rules in place for AI companies have to follow initial ground rules that protect consumers and workers (link: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2023/10/30/executive-order-on-the-safe-secure-and-trustworthy-development-and-use-of-artificial-intelligence/).

On a related positive note on how AI can make our lives better, here is a TED Talk by Sal Khan (creator of the non-profit learning platform Khan Academy) about how they are using AI to develop a high quality AI tutor for students and AI teacher's assistant for educators (link: https://www.ted.com/talks/sal_khan_how_ai_could_save_not_destroy_education).
