Emily Rogers+FollowThe Real Social Security Threat? Your PaycheckEveryone’s worried Social Security will vanish because people are living longer or the stock market’s wild. But economist Kathryn Edwards says the real problem is something closer to home: our paychecks aren’t growing. Social Security is funded by what we earn, so if wages stay flat, the system gets squeezed. Forget the scary headlines—your benefits are more stable than you think. If you want to keep Social Security strong, root for bigger raises, not just longer retirements! #SocialSecurity #PersonalFinance #MoneyTalk #WageGrowth #Retirement #Finance25783Share

Brenda Cohen+FollowJobs Growth Slows, But No Panic YetApril’s jobs report is out and it’s a mixed bag: hiring slowed down a bit (177k new jobs vs. 228k in March), but it’s still better than expected. Unemployment’s holding steady at 4.2%. Wages are barely moving, and manufacturing actually lost jobs, but healthcare and education are still strong. The feds cut some jobs, but state and local governments picked up the slack. Economists are watching for tariff fallout, but for now, the Fed’s just chilling on rate cuts. The economy’s not booming, but it’s not tanking either—just kinda hanging in there. #JobsReport #Economy #HiringTrends #WageGrowth #LaborMarket #JobCareer191Share
