Dr. Ken Ginsburg—Professor of Pediatrics at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), Director of Health Services at Covenant House Pennsylvania, and Founder & Program Director for Parent and Teen Communication—joins The Dawn Stensland Show to talk about the resilience displayed by kids and teens during the COVID-19 pandemic. He believes that in order to overcome a divisive and bifurcating news-cycle, kids need to learn to prioritize relationships with friends and family—and he’s optimistic that it can happen. Dawn and Dr. Ginsburg discuss how “not all media is based on truth,” and that much of it is simply opinion masquerading as fact.

According to Business Insider, new research indicates remote workers may regret fleeing big cities for cheaper rural communities.

We've heard a lot about how the mass migration has been bad for major cities, sending them into a "doom loop" of empty offices and shuttered storefronts. But a new paper coauthored by Enrico Moretti, one of the best thinkers on the geography of jobs, highlights the dangers the migration poses for the very professionals who are ditching big cities. Moving away from a major city, Moretti found, can be terrible for your career.
Moretti, an economist at the University of California at Berkeley, followed workers whose companies shut down between 2010 and 2017. How people fared after that depended on where they lived. Those who lived in small labor markets were less likely to find a new job within a year than those in large labor markets. To get back on their feet professionally, those in small markets were more likely to be forced to relocate for employment. They were also more likely to settle for a role that was misaligned with their college degree, or in an entirely different industry.

"The big takeaway is that market size matters," Moretti says. "It's clear that larger markets improve the quality of the match..."

Let's say you're a coder specializing in AI. You're far more likely to find a job in San Francisco than you are pretty much anywhere else in the world, because there are a lot of AI-related companies there. And it's because AI specialists flock to San Francisco that AI businesses set up shop there in the first place. That's how cities become hubs for particular industries, like finance in New York and fashion in Paris. And that's why people put up with all the downsides of cities — because it increases their odds of growing their careers. Moretti's new paper confirms that when it comes to jobs, geography is destiny.

At first it seemed as though the pandemic had rewritten that rule. With the rise of remote work, professionals thought they could afford to leave their expensive cities without a risk to their careers. If you moved to Des Moines and wound up losing your job, you could just stay put and get another work-from-home gig. Your house might be in Iowa, but your job market was still back in California or New York.

Over the past year, more and more employers have stopped hiring for remote roles. The market for WFH jobs has cratered, putting everyone who moved away from big cities at risk. If they wind up getting laid off or they outgrow their current role, living in a smaller job market is going to severely limit their career options. As Moretti's paper shows, they'll either (1) wind up unemployed for a long stretch, (2) be forced to settle for a local job they're overqualified for, or (3) have to make an abrupt and costly move back to the big city they abandoned.

Moretti characterizes being in a large labor market as "insurance" against future shocks. Living in a big city isn't just about having a good job right now. It's what sets you up for success to land your next job — and the job after that. Those who moved away from big cities effectively gave up their career insurance.

Is Moretti correct that fleeing a city is risky for remote workers?

Employers that don't share pay ranges in a job posting may lose out on talent from soon-to-be and recent graduates.
According to a new survey of recent and upcoming US post-secondary and recent graduates, 85% reported they are "less likely to apply for a job if the company does not disclose the salary range in the job posting."

That's according to Adobe's Future Workforce Study. The December survey, conducted with Advanis, included just over 1,000 respondents who were US post-secondary students and recent graduates. Read more.

Are Gen Zers making a mistake by not applying for jobs if the salary isn't listed?

According to Men's Journal, a new survey finds work-related stress is leading to an abnormally high rate of breakups and divorces, with 71 percent of respondents reporting that work stress caused a personal relationship to end...

The findings were part of the sixth annual workplace mental health trends report published by the meditation and mindfulness app Headspace. The company partnered with Dimensional Research to survey over 2,000 employees in the United States and U.K., as well as over 200 CEOs and 245 Human Resources leaders.

How can you keep work-related stress from impacting your marriage?

The number of women in senior corporate leadership has grown every year since S&P Global started tracking gender parity among executives in 2006. That is, until last year. In 2023, women lost C-suite positions across publicly traded firms, with their representation dipping below 12%. Read more.

What's driving this trend?

According to Morning Brew, enrollment in trade schools is skyrocketing.
The number of students enrolled in vocational-focused community colleges increased 16% from 2022 to 2023, according to data from the National Student Clearinghouse.
The number of students studying construction at two-year undergraduate programs rose ~12% since 2021.
Why? Four-year schools used to seem like the most straightforward path to a high salary, but with their costs going up, they also lead to a lot of debt. Meanwhile, a shortage in skilled workers has driven up workers’ earnings: Median pay for construction workers rose more than 5% last year to $48,089, compared to $39,520 for new hires in professional services (like accountants and IT workers), according to payroll provider ADP.

Plus…software can’t repair a leak in your roof (yet). In a recent survey, the majority of young people said blue-collar jobs seemed more secure than white-collar ones amid developments in generative AI technology that could render some jobs obsolete.

How can parents help their college-age kids decide if college or a trade/vocational school is the best option? And what skilled trade jobs will still be viable in twenty years?

RETIRED SGT BETSY BRANTNER SMITH JOINS DAWN LIVE! BETSY EXPANDS ON THE LATEST POLICE TRENDS NATIONWIDE - THE ANTI ISRAEL SENTIMENT WE SEE WITH "DEATH TO AMERICA" CHANTS ALONG WITH NATIONWIDE HIGHWAY PROTESTS... COMPARE HOW EACH CITY RESPONDED... THEN BETSY REACTS TO THE FBI AND CHRIS WRAY'S WARNING THAT THEY NEED TO GET A HANDLE ON THE STATE OF MIGRATION IN REGARDS TO NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS... AS WELL AS THE JAN 6TH TESTIMONY FROM NATIONAL GUARD.. 

(New York Post)
Anti-Israel activists were heard chanting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” at a rally in a Michigan city recently dubbed the “jihad capital” of the US.
The sick chants erupted at a rally Friday in Dearborn marking Al Quds Day, in which Muslims around the world denounce Israel, according to a video posted by the Middle East Media Research Institute.

They came after Dearborn activist Tarek Bazzi ripped the US for supporting Israel — and told the crowd that “the chant ‘Death to Israel’ has become the most logical chant across the world today.

“Imam Khomeini, who declared International Al Quds Day, this is why he would say to pour all of your chants and all of your shots upon the head of America,” Bazzi said of former Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini as chants of “Death to America” started.

“It’s not Genocide Joe that has to go,” he continued, referring to President Biden.

“It’s the entire system that has to go.”

Bazzi said that “any system that would allow such atrocities and such devilry to happen and would support it — such a system does not deserve to exist on God’s Earth. Read more.

How concerning is this?

(ABC News)
FBI Director Christopher Wray is set to warn Congress on Thursday of his concerns over potential bad actors carrying out attacks on U.S. soil...
"Our most immediate concern has been that individuals or small groups will draw twisted inspiration from the events in the Middle East to carry out attacks here at home,” Wray is set to tell the House Appropriations Committee, according to a transcript of his opening statement obtained by ABC News. "But now increasingly concerning is the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland, akin to the ISIS-K attack we saw at the Russia Concert Hall a couple weeks ago." Read more.

The Independent: The 22 March attack on a concert hall in suburban Moscow was the deadliest in Russia in 20 years. A branch of the Islamic State militant group claimed responsibility

Daily Mail: (Wray) will say the 'greatest terrorism threat' to the U.S. is 'posed by lone actors or small cells of individuals who typically radicalize to violence online.'

The number of domestic terrorism investigations over the past four years has 'more than doubled,' primarily racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists (RMVEs) and anti-government and anti-authority violent extremists (AGAAVEs), Wray will tell Congress.

At the end of fiscal year 2023, the FBI was conducting 2,700 investigations within its domestic terrorism program and 4,000 probes with its international program.

For perspective on the challenge this presents to law enforcement, turn to a 29-year cop who now trains officers around the world.

Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith (Ret.) is spokesperson for National Police Association, a non-profit that supports law enforcement officers across the U.S. Betsy began her career as a police dispatcher at age 17 and has held positions in patrol, investigations, narcotics, juvenile, hostage negotiation, crime prevention, K-9 and field training. She has been a law enforcement trainer for over 20 years.
