What if Cities Are No Longer the Land of Opportunity for Low-Skilled Workers? - The New York Times

Workers, whether with a college degree or not, could long count on earning more in denser urban areas than in rural ones. Today, that pattern holds for highly educated workers — and has in fact grown much stronger. For workers without any college education, the added wage benefits of dense cities have mostly disappeared in Mr. Autor’s data:

No Tuition, but You Pay a Percentage of Your Income (if You Find a Job)

The concept is deceptively simple: Instead of charging students tuition — which often requires them to take out thousands of dollars in loans — students go to school for free and are required to pay back a percentage of their income after graduation, but only if they get a job with a good salary.

Student debt reached a new height last year — a whopping $1.5 trillion. A typical student borrower will have $22,000 in debt by graduation, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.

2018 sports industry starting lineup

Over the past few years, we’ve seen increased splintering of the cable TV bundle and the proliferation of streaming services that deliver programming. In the same way that sports viewership has been upended by changes in the media industry, we’re also starting to see a shift in how teams and brands serve ads to fans consuming their content. Soon to be gone are the days of mass marketing home games on billboards and TV commercials. Instead, as individuals increasingly watch sporting events over digital platforms such as SlingTV or DirecTV Now, the data trail left behind will be used to target fans with personalized offers to buy tickets or merchandise.6
