ONLY 22% OF WORKERS FEEL JOBS ARE SAFE A global survey by ADP finds just 22% of workers are confident their jobs won’t be eliminated, highlighting widespread insecurity. Lower-paid and lower-level employees feel the least secure, while executives show higher confidence. Workers who feel secure are far more engaged, productive, and less likely to quit. AI use appears to help: frequent users report higher confidence and engagement than non-users. Despite low unemployment, anxiety remains high—62% of workers put in unpaid hours weekly, and many still feel overworked yet uncertain about their future. Older workers are the least confident in their career prospects, reinforcing concerns about skills and advancement.

$100 OIL WON’T HIT LIKE THE 1970s UBS says today’s global economy is far less vulnerable to oil shocks than in the 1970s, despite rising prices. Economist Arend Kapteyn highlights that oil spending as a share of GDP has more than halved since 1974 due to improved energy efficiency and economic growth. In the U.S., oil spending dropped from about 4.8% of GDP in 1974 to ~1.7% today—and would only reach ~2% even if prices hit $100 per barrel. Europe shows a similar decline. Bottom line: although supply disruptions may rival past crises, the global economy’s lower “oil intensity” means far less macroeconomic strain.

59% OF AMERICANS SAY IRAN WAR HAS 'GONE TOO FAR' A new AP-NORC poll shows 59% of Americans believe U.S. military action against Iran has gone too far, raising political risks for Donald Trump. Public concern is also shifting to the economy: 45% worry about affording gas, up sharply from earlier polling. While most Americans support preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons, they equally prioritize keeping fuel prices low—creating a difficult balance for policymakers. Trump’s approval ratings remain steady at around 40%, but trust in his handling of military decisions is low, and most Americans oppose escalating the conflict, especially sending ground troops. Partisan divides persist: Democrats overwhelmingly say the action has gone too far, Republicans are split, and both parties strongly agree on one issue—keeping gas prices down.
