Audrey Rose+FollowJobs Up, But Tariffs Are Looming TroubleThe April jobs report just dropped: 177,000 new gigs, mostly in health care and shipping, but there’s a catch. Tariffs and federal layoffs are starting to bite, and experts say May could get rough. Wages are up a bit, but hiring is slowing and long-term unemployment is rising.

Edward Wallace+FollowNike’s “Double Wage” Claim? Not So FastEver wondered who makes your favorite sneakers? Turns out, most Cambodian workers making Nike gear earn just the bare minimum, despite Nike’s claims of double-the-minimum wages. Only 1% at one factory hit that mark, and that’s mostly managers. For regular folks on the line, it’s long hours, little pay, and barely enough to cover baby formula, rent, and rice. So next time you see those “ethical brand” ads, remember: the real paycheck story is a lot more complicated than the marketing. #Nike #FactoryLife #Wages #MoneyTalks #EthicalShopping #Business20Share
