WorkWorkWorkWorkWhy the Fed still isn't planning a rate cut this year Powell said the Fed has tools for tackling that, but it’s unclear if the Fed could stop millions of workers from losing their jobs by just cutting rates.

WorkWorkWorkRebar robotics firm Toggle adds another $3M to its fundraising tally “The pandemic has had a significant impact on the construction industry, leading to increased costs and complexity. Supply chain disruptions, inflation, and rising labor costs have all played a role,” he explains. “To combat these challenges, there has been a growing interest in the adoption of robotics in construction. This trend is consistent across different segments of the industry, as owners and contractors seek ways to save time and money. Robotics and automation, similar to those used in manufacturing, are seen as a solution. This has also led to an acceleration in the use of prefab and modular construction methods.” WorkUsage-based pricing is rising, but not replacing other models Now in its second edition, the firm’s report is based on responses collected between July and August 2022 from private SaaS companies.
