By Yi Whan-wooFewer Koreans in their 20s are getting new jobs but their employment rate is rising, in the face of a population decline that "misleadingly" represents a tough job market for young people.According to the Korean Statistical Information Service (KOSIS), a website run by Statistics Korea, Friday, a total of 3.75 million jobs were added for those aged 20 to 29 in August, down from 3.84 million a year earlier.The downside of the employment conditions for the twentysomethings is also shown by the number of economically inactive Koreans.Those in their 20s who are neither working nor actively seeking jobs outside the labor force reached 384,000 in August, up 28,000 year-on-year.

Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation," Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) defended Vice President Kamala Harris' proposal to control prices through the use of federal government power. The Kentucky Democrat compared the proposal to Theodore Roosevelt-era efforts to break up monopolies. "On the Harris economic plan that you mentioned, there was also this federal ban on price gouging on food and penalties for companies that exploit crises," host Margaret Brennan said.

Canada's labour market is softening as the unemployment rate rises for a third consecutive month, offering some evidence the economy is finally slowing down. Statistics Canada reported Friday employment was little changed in July, falling by 6,400 jobs. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate ticked up to 5.5 per cent as the economy struggles to create enough jobs to match the pace of population growth.

As groundbreaking as the Apple Vision Pro feels right now, there's no denying the fact that it is absurdly expensive. 3,500 is not a small amount of money for a new device, and it's definitely not the most appropriate way for the masses to experience augmented reality. But what if there was a cheaper way?
