John Pugliano, author of “The Robots are Coming: A Human’s Survival Guide to Profiting in the Age of Automation,” sees plenty of white collar jobs that will be threatened by automation.
“Bottom line, any routine job that can easily be defined by a mathematical or logic equation will be at risk,” Pugliano said. “Opportunity will be [there] for those that can create new produces/services or solve/fix unexpected problems.”
So your accountant may not have a job in the future, but plastic surgeons and emergency room doctors should do well. And plumbers, Pugliano said, will always have work.
Sears Holdings released a list on Thursday of the 63 stores that it plans to close by September.
The list from Sears Holdings (SHLD) includes 48 Sears stores and 15 Kmart stores, spread across 29 states. They were selected from a list of 100 non-profitable stores Sears said it had identified for closure “in the near future.”
The move is the latest sign of the retailer’s struggle to stay afloat. It has closed nearly 400 stores in the past 12 months as sales plunge and losses mount.
Workers at the stores will receive severance and can apply for open positions at other Sears stores, the company said.
Your 20s seem like the perfect age between childhood and adulthood. You’re out of school, finally, so you’ll have more freedom than ever before, and you won’t be pinned down with responsibilities from late-career advancements, serious relationships, or children. On top of that, since the life expectancy in the United States is now nearly 80, it feels like you have plenty of time to make up for any mistakes you make now.
That may be true, to some extent, but you’re also vulnerable in your 20s. Some of the financial mistakes you make in your 20s could end up haunting you the rest of your life.
Ford said on Wednesday the only passenger car models it plans to keep on the market in North America will be the Mustang and the upcoming Ford Focus Active, a crossover-like hatchback that’s slated to debut in 2019.
That means the Fiesta, Taurus, Fusion and the regular Focus will disappear in the United States and Canada.
Ford will, however, continue to offer its full gamut of trucks, SUVs and crossovers.

Car buyers these days love SUVs. They don’t, however, love actual cars like hatchbacks and sedans –as Ford has learned.
The American economy finished off last year on a firm footing, and is poised for more vigorous growth in the months to come.
Preliminary estimates released by the government on Friday showed that the nation’s output increased at an annual rate of 2.6 percent in the final quarter of 2017. Although that performance amounts to less than the heady 4 percent annual growth that President Trump has promised, it is further evidence — along with a sinking jobless rate and surging consumer confidence — of the economy’s resilience.
“The year-end is solid,” said Joel Prakken, chief United States economist at Macroeconomic Advisers by IHS Markit. Details within the report, about climbing business investment and depleted inventories, suggest more economic strength than the bare-bones headline number might indicate. “It portends well for 2018 demand,” he said.
Manhattan real estate is some of the priciest in the world.
As a comparison, consider this: across the United States, the median rent is $959 per month. In Manhattan, however, the average is more than triple that number at $3,109 per month.
So, what makes New York so special, and why Manhattan in particular? Well, for starters, it’s small, very small. In fact, it only covers 23.7 square miles and is the most densely populated area in NYC. It also has limited parking, which is nearly as rare as unicorns in New York, so people are willing to pay a pretty penny for that convenience. Plus, just about everything is expensive here, including construction costs and property taxes. Landlords and sellers charge a lot for Manhattan real estate to offset these expenses – and because they can.
Many celebrities call Manhattan home. As you can imagine, certain neighborhoods (and even blocks or buildings) attract more A-listers than others. If you want to live next door, you’ll have to pay up. Considering it?
