Quibble with the numbers if you want, but orders of magnitude are most likely correct:

"According to NAFSA: Association of International Educators, these 1.1 million international students at U.S. colleges and universities contributed $43.8 billion to the U.S. economy during the 2023-2024 academic year and supported more than 378,000 jobs."

Orange Menace has no concept of service sector exports. Higher ed is a big service export from the U.S. — we educate and provide the diplomas, others (so many from abroad) provide the cash (lots!) 🙄

Oh well, never mind. Now stand in line and apply for that manufacturing job to make buggy whips! 🙃

On the Asia Pacific front, preliminary PMI data from Japan for February showed that the Manufacturing PMI came in at 47.2, lower than expected at 48.2, while the Service sector PMI was reported at 52.5. #Japan #PMI #Manufacturing #ServiceSector #EconomicIndicators

The impact on the market may create pressure for a positive outlook on the dollar and affect gold and Euro. However, in index futures, the positive balance from Meta counters the overall data effect. #FedRateCut #EmploymentGrowth #WageIncrease #MarketExpectations #ServiceSector #MetaPlatforms #MarketAnalysis

Strong employment growth and increasing wages could delay expectations for the first rate cut from the Fed. Currently, the primary scenario is set for May, but the market is beginning to consider the possibility of June. Notably, the service sector played a significant role, contributing 289 thousand to the overall employment data. #FedRateCut #EmploymentGrowth #WageIncrease #MarketExpectations #ServiceSector #MetaPlatforms #MarketAnalysis

This week, we're going to test the proportion that #CorporationTax rates have a material effect on incoming investment... as rate rises from 19%-25%.

However, all is not as it may seem; #JeremyHunt has also launched 100% #taxrelief on capital investment, which may offer some help to #manufacturing whose CapEx needs are (likely) more pronounced than the #servicesector.

Q.is whether the tax rise causes any exits from the UK by large mobile firms, or whether #sunkcosts will keep them here anyway?

I found my way off the naughty list this year. For real, Starbucks workers have been organizing and winning under conditions of extreme retaliation.
