"실업률은 3.4% 50년 만에 최저치입니다. 흑인과 히스패닉 근로자들의 거의 기록적인 낮은 실업률입니다."라고 조 바이든 대통령이 말했습니다.

80만 개의 새로운 제조업 일자리가 창출되었습니다. 예를 들어 반도체 과학법으로 알려진 행동을 위한 CHIPs 승인 이후 인텔은 오하이오주에 반도체 공장을 설립해 총 1만 개의 일자리를 창출했고, 초당적 인프라법은 지금까지 공항을 포함해 2만 개의 프로젝트를 지원했습니다.

바이든이 2년 임기 동안 이룬 경제적 성과는 1,200만 개의 새로운 일자리를 창출하고 실업률 3.4%로 지난 50년 동안 최저치를 달성한 것이 대단하다고 생각합니다. 특히 흑인과 히스패닉계 사람들에게는 기록적인 고용률이라는 측면에서 매우 의미가 있다고 생각합니다.

게다가, 바이든은 중산층을 위한 경제를 강조했습니다. 보수가 좋은 제조업 일자리가 너무 많이 해외로 넘어갔지만 반도체법, 인플레이션방지법 등을 실행하여 미국으로 다시 돌아올 것이라고 전망됩니다.

The unemployment rate is 3.4%, a 50-year low, with near record low unemployment for Black and Hispanic workers. President Joe Biden said 800,000 new manufacturing jobs were created after the approval of the CHIPS Act, known as the Semiconductor Science Act. Intel alone created 10,000 jobs by establishing a semiconductor plant in Ohio, and the bipartisan infrastructure law has so far supported 20,000 projects, including airports.

I think Biden's economic achievement during his two-year tenure is great, creating 12 million new jobs, and achieving the best employment record in the past 50 years with an unemployment rate of 3.4%. Especially for Black and Hispanic people, I think this is very meaningful.

In addition, Biden emphasized making the economy work for the middle class. While many well-paid manufacturing jobs have moved overseas, these are expected to return to the United States given the Semiconductor and the Anti-Inflation Acts.

Kamalanomics: Home and Health

Vice President Kamala Harris recently unveiled her economic plan, which builds upon and expands several initiatives from the Biden administration while adding new elements aimed at addressing economic challenges faced by American families. Her plan, dubbed the "Opportunity Economy" agenda, focuses on lowering costs for essential goods and services, particularly targeting housing, healthcare, and groceries. Key Components: 1. Housing: Harris proposes constructing three million new homes to address the housing supply crunch, which is more ambitious than Biden's two-million-home plan. She also advocates for a $40 billion "innovation fund" to encourage local governments to find solutions to housing shortages and make it harder for investment companies to buy up large numbers of rental properties, which has driven up rent prices. (See: Comments to the CalPERS Board of Administration, July 15, 2024 on Housing and Environmental Investing.) 2. Healthcare: Expanding on B...

Maternal Health Financing Facility for Black Women: A Solution to an Urgent Problem

Maternal mortality is a significant issue in the United States, with Black women disproportionately affected. Research conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has shown that Black women are more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than their white counterparts. However, the issue is not new, and despite the increasing amount of data available, the disparities have remained unaddressed for far too long.  Creative Investment Research (CIR) is among the organizations that believe there is a solution to the problem. Through our proposed impact investing vehicle , the Maternal Health Financing Facility for Black Women (MHFFBW), we aim to tackle the mortality gap and support Black women during childbirth, which will, in turn, benefit their communities. The Facility, based on legally binding financing agreements containing terms and conditions that direct resources to individuals and institutions capable of addressing supply-side conditions at the heart...

September 2018 - 10 Questions William Michael Cunningham on Impact Investing, Blockchain, and Crowdfunding Interview by Carly Schulaka WHO: William Michael Cunningham WHAT: Economist, impact investing specialist, founder of Creative Investment Research WHAT'S ON HIS MIND: “Any finance professional in the U.S. should learn how to create a blockchain.” 1. You are an economist, an inventor, and an impact investing specialist. I’ve heard you say: “True innovation happens in a way that is independent of monetary returns.” How does this statement influence your work? It’s really about finding an interesting problem and applying financial technology to solving that problem or to dealing with that problem. You know, the people who invented the alphabet didn’t do so to make money. They had an interesting problem—communication on both a local and a grand scale—and if you were to calculate the social return for the invention of that technology or technique, it’s almost infinit...
