Uber employs roughly 34,000 people in offices around the world, and this week the company told about 3,300 of them their jobs no longer exist. The cuts, announced September 2, land hardest on management and on the small slice of staff who had been working fully remote — a group that is about to shrink…

The Campbell’s Company told investors this week that it is cutting its quarterly dividend by more than a third and pushing ahead with plant closures as part of a new, multiyear savings plan. Camden, New Jersey-based Campbell’s, in business for more than 150 years, has products in millions of pantries, including soup, Goldfish crackers and…

Uber told its employees this week that roughly one in ten jobs at the company is being eliminated, and that almost everyone still on staff who currently works from home will be expected to move into an office. The announcement, posted under CEO Dara Khosrowshahi’s name on September 2, is aimed at flattening Uber’s management…

The number of available jobs across the country held essentially steady in July, but the headline number hides a messier story underneath. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that openings stayed at roughly 7.3 million even as it quietly revised the June count down by 177,000 — a reminder that the first read on the…

When the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported in early August that the economy had lost 23,000 jobs in July, it looked like the first genuinely soft month of 2026 — a sign that higher borrowing costs and slower business spending were finally showing up in hiring. On September 4, the agency’s August jobs report quietly…

Employers added 162,000 jobs to nonfarm payrolls in August, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday, a pace more than five times the 31,000-job average monthly gain recorded over the prior twelve months. The unemployment rate held steady at 4.1 percent, and hourly pay kept climbing, though not quite fast enough to outrun the…

The federal government’s latest look at how the economy split its gains between businesses and workers shows a lopsided quarter. Nonfinancial corporations booked a sharp jump in profit earned per unit sold this spring, even as the typical worker’s paycheck lost buying power once inflation is factored in. For a household budgeting around a fixed…

Employer-provided health benefits got 6.0 percent more expensive for private-sector businesses over the year ending in June 2026, while the wages those same employers paid workers climbed just 3.1 percent, according to new federal data. For a household counting on a raise to keep pace with the cost of living, the gap matters: the fastest-growing…

Two salaried workers doing the same job for the same pay can have very different rights to overtime, depending only on which state they live in. Under federal law, a salaried employee who earns as little as $35,568 a year can be classified as “exempt” and denied overtime pay entirely, no matter how many extra…

For the fifth month in a row, U.S. employers explaining why they cut jobs pointed to artificial intelligence more than any other reason. That isn’t a worker survey or an economist’s estimate — it’s what companies themselves wrote down when they announced the cuts, tracked by the outplacement firm that has logged layoff reasons since…
