A recent analysis from the digital security website all about cookies found that the number of catfishing incidents reported to the Federal Trade Commission, skyrocketed between 2019 and 2022, leading to financial losses totaling about $500 million last year. It also turns out that the most catfished state on a per CAPiTA basis is Alaska. And the least catfished state, Louisiana, which is sort of a catfish joke that writes itself.

As for that issue of migrants having trouble with facial recognition, that is, unfortunately, not isolated to the CBP app. A growing body of research finds bias embedded in facial recognition systems. A study from Stanford and MIT in 2018 found facial recognition programs performed the best on light skinned men with an error rate of less than 1%. And they performed the worst on dark skinned women, getting it wrong, more than a third of the time. One of the authors of that study, joy bullom weenie, was on this show back in 2021, discussing the issue that communities most likely to be subject to surveillance with tech like facial recognition are the same ones, it's most likely to inaccurately identify.

"Depending on where you are, your morning cappuccino might have been harder to get. Today, unionized Starbucks workers are more than a hundred stores around the country walked off the job today and what they're calling the red cup rebellion. Red cup day for those not in the know is a holiday promotion, the company's got going today, giving away a free reusable cup, which typically draws big crowds as free things typically tend to do, right? Workers are taking advantage of that spotlight to protest the way the company has been handling union negotiations. At this point, more than 250 Starbucks of unionized, a string of wins that has energized the wider labor movement, yes, but we're not talking huge industrialized factories here. Each of those unionized Starbucks stores, maybe a dozen or two dozen workers has to negotiate its own individual contract with the company. Marketplace is Meghan mccarty carino has more. When Starbucks stores were organizing, the small scale of the efforts was a benefit, says Rebecca given, a Professor of labor relations at Rutgers university. Workers really know their coworkers. They have the opportunity to talk to each other and get to know each other. But when it comes to negotiating a contract, smaller is not so advantageous with the company as big as Starbucks. They're able to spend hundreds of dollars an hour on multiple lawyers and dozens of locations around the country. Starbucks workers united, the union representing about 6000 workers says the company is using those resources to stymie the process. It's been almost a year since the first store in Buffalo, New York voted to unionize, and no contracts have been agreed to yet. I don't see that as unusual at all. Michael zinser is an attorney who represents management in newspaper union negotiations. In the collective bargaining world in the first time contract, a lesson once is not that long, because of how you're starting from scratch. First contracts require back and forth over every word. Starbucks says the union has delayed the process by asking for virtual meetings instead of in person ones. But employers tend to have a bigger interest in slowing things down, says Ruth milkman, a labor sociologist at cuny. Taking advantage of all the potential opportunities to delight things and drag it out in the hopes that somehow the whole thing will fade away. She says drawn out negotiations can be demoralizing, and give management more of an upper hand. Especially if the country goes into a recession. I Meghan mccarty carino from

"In Los Angeles, I'm car risa. It is Thursday today. This one is the third day of November good as always to have you along, everybody. The macroeconomic formula of the day today is pretty straightforward. It's widgets produced per hour worked. You do the, yes, simplified math I'll grant you that and you get worker productivity. The bureau of labor statistics told us this morning that after two consecutive quarters of productivity decline, non farm business sector labor productivity is officially the term. Anyway, productivity was up three tenths percent July through September. I'm actually felt pretty happy when I saw the numbers today. Stephanie Aaron sends the director and the vice president of the economic studies program at the brookings institution. And fine, here is the more complicated math if you insist output widgets right output was up 2.8% last quarter. Over the spring output was held down by swings in inventories and net exports. And those effects faded out in the third quarter. Hours worked, though. Up only 2.4%. Hours slowed down and the combination of the higher output growth and the slightly slower growth in hours resulted in a positive productivity number. Hours not growing as fast as widgets made, get you a higher productivity, right? But why do you suppose that's happening right now? Now it's coming back up again because firms are sort of slowing down their hiring output is advancing at a pretty good pace. And that's the normal cyclical pattern that you would expect to see. We didn't ask Stephanie aronson what Jay Powell is thinking in 5 words or less kinda. I never like to make two much of any one data point. Which is actually what Powell would say, but come on. Obviously we'd like to see faster productivity growth, but I think the fact that the report showed slowing hours, slowing, comp per hour, slowing unit labor costs. I think on balance that's good news for the fed. Stephanie aronson at brookings there as I speak these words, by the way, Jay Powell and the gang at the fed already have the October unemployment report on their desks. The rest of us have to wait till 8 30 tomorrow morning. Elsewhere in the American labor market, unions, as you've surely heard or having a pandemic economy moment, the most recent example comes to us from commercial aviation where contract talks between pilots and some of the biggest airlines are getting contentious. American and united pilots have rejected tentative deals and delta pilots of authorized to strike if negotiations break down. And if you're thinking the next sentence out of my mouth is going to be, this is all happening just as the holiday travel season gets going. I'll go to the head of the class. Marketplace is Meghan mccarty carino, has more on that one. Contract talks often get strained, but not usually all at once, says consultant Jerry glass of F and H solutions group. There are more pilot contracts open for negotiations than I have ever seen in my 40 year career. His firm represents airlines and negotiations, but is not involved in any of the current pilot contracts. Many of them were put on hold during the pandemic. Wages lagged and frustrations built, says captain Evan Bach, a Delta pilot and union spokesman. We're spending more time away from our families. We're working longer days. We have shorter nights at home. And they're being paid wages negotiated in 2016. Pilots are pushing for significant raises and better quality of life provisions. They have a lot of leverage, says travel industry analyst, Henry hardwell. You know, at the same time, while the airlines know they've got to be generous. They can't spend foolishly. Airlines are making money again, but an unstable economy could undo that. The building conflict is unlikely to lead to immediate disruptions, says law professor Michael laroi at University of Illinois at urbana Champaign. It doesn't look like they're rushing out to get their picket signs today. Airlines, like railways, are subject to federal mediation due to their importance to the economy, so he says negotiations rarely lead to strikes. Rarely, but not never. I Meghan mccarty carino for marketplace. Rarely but not never. On Wall Street today, not so good. We'll have the details when we do the

"How's that one? Back in August 2020, James Hendricks took advantage of low mortgage rates to buy a house on a nice big piece of land in the Houston suburbs. It was a bit of a fixer upper. Well, more than a bit. It was listed as a handyman special. And that was inaccurate. It needed more than a handyman to repair extensive termite damage that left floors and door frames caving in. And it needed a lot of wood. And we noticed that price started increasing and going up and up. So he put the renovation project on hold, and didn't get back to it in earnest until prices finally started easing. Now his contractor is back to work, reinforcing the roof framing with freshly affordable two by 8s. Lumber prices can have a big effect on home construction, says Ken simonson, with the associated general contractors of America. Lumber prices are certainly significant for single-family home building. It's one of the most important ingredients in terms of materials that are used. But falling lumber prices now are more a symptom of a slowing housing market than an opportunity for builders, says oni ban basu, with associated builders and contractors. He says, as supply chain setbacks of eased and materials have become more affordable, financing for builders and buyers has become more expensive. It's very inconvenient. It's almost as if somebody has been trying to sabotage the U.S. housing market or home building market. He says new home construction has lagged demand since the housing crisis more than a decade ago. And it will take more than cheap two by fours to fix that imbalance. I'm Megan mccarty carino

The verge reports that one of the crypto systems targeted Solana says its own investigation showed no evidence its protocol was breached, and that only one type of user wallet was compromised. Another hacking target, nomad, offered a bounty for the stolen tokens, according to Bloomberg news, the company said anyone willing to return 90% of the hacked funds will not be prosecuted and can keep the remaining 10% as a reward. We'll also link to a feature we aired here on the show last month about state sponsored crypto hackers in North Korea.

"The rise in cost of owning a car these days. For drivers of electric vehicles and those who would like to buy one, there's another challenge where to charge them and how long it's going to take. The Biden administration laid out guidelines today for how states should spend $5 billion in new infrastructure funding to amp up the country's EV charging network. The focus is on interstate highways. Marketplace is Meghan mccarty carino has more. For EVs to really catch on in America, says UC Berkeley's Ethan alkyne, they've got to be able to handle a good old American road trip. This is a big psychological hurdle for a lot of people and I think about getting a vehicle to think about all the potential needs of getting a vehicle and the road trip looms large. The new guidelines call for fast chargers to be installed about every 50 miles along the most traveled interstates in the country. Fast chargers are really key because they start to approximate how quickly you can fill up a gas car at the gas station. The promise of being able to recharge and about half an hour pretty much anywhere could soothe the range anxiety, consumer site as a top concern with electric vehicles. But most days, Americans aren't driving anything close to the 200 mile range of the average EV, says Jessica at MIT. We're not traveling for 5, 6, 7, 8 hours a day in our vehicles on most days. So we're using our vehicle much less of the time and we're stopping for more of the time. The places where we stop the longest, like home and work, generally make the best places to recharge. Sam Houston is with the union of concerned scientists. Just plug in conveniently when your car is parked anyway, you just get used to the rhythm, the routine and then you don't have to make extra stops like you would to fill a gasoline vehicle. She says building out a better network of chargers in neighborhoods is also needed for widespread EV adoption. Particularly for apartment dwellers who can't always install their own electric hookups..

"The sixth of September good as always to have you along. Regular listeners to this program will recall that the unemployment report released on Friday showed weaker than expected job growth in August as the Delta variant surged. The overall trend seemed positive. Unemployment fell from 5.4 to 5.2%, but not for black workers. They were the only racial or ethnic group to see unemployment rise a lot from 8.2 to nearly 9%. And that trend is going in the wrong direction just as federal unemployment benefits which have extended and expanded relief for millions of Americans expired today. Marketplaces Meghan McCarty Carino has more The unemployment report did contain one piece of sort of good news for black workers, says Chandra Chilled, Ear's a director at the Institute for Women's Policy Research. The number of black workers in the labor Force went up in August after falling the month before, so they're going back into the labor market. But it's a labour market where the areas where they tend to work. Alright, shrinking industries like leisure and hospitality. State and local government and childcare have been slower to bounce back and our big employers of black women Not only do black women worked in child here, but they also are more likely than other groups of women to be the sole provider in their households, which means childcare becomes ever more important. But differences between industries don't fully explain the gap in black and white unemployment, says William Spriggs, an economist at Howard University and the AFL CIA, He says it's clear there's discrimination in the labour market. It screens at you. And the unemployment rate for blacks with associated Greens was higher than the unemployment rate for plates who were dropouts, he says. Black workers remain unemployed, the longest supporting the adage they are often the first fired last hired in our economy. Which makes the cut off of federal unemployment programs today, all the more concerning, says Andrew Stettner at the Century Foundation. The thing we're trying to prevent because our people pushed into economic situations that can have a long term family and social effect. They lose their home. They lose their car. He says black workers have been more likely to rely on federal programs, which offered relief to the long term unemployed, those without traditional full time jobs or those who had to leave work due to care, taking her illness. And they're more likely to live in southern states, where it can be harder to qualify for unemployment and benefits are lower. I'm Meghan McCarty, carino for Marketplace.

Unemployment Benefits Coming to an End for Many
"Cutting off extra federal unemployment benefits, some as soon as next week. Marketplaces Meghan McCarty, Carino looks at the labor market yet to come. It's not just that extra $300 a week in federal unemployment payments, most of these states are ending. It's also benefits for gig workers, freelancers and the long term unemployed. Like Marcellus, Row in Dunwoody, Georgia, where federal benefits will end June 26. I will be receiving nothing. Unfortunately, I have no idea how I'm going to live. Day by day Row, lost his job in a public transportation agency last year and says he hasn't found work to match his previous pay of $16 an hour another. How is just not gonna put it? As economies reopen and the dangers of the virus recede. Michael strain at the American Enterprise Institute says the additional benefits are doing more harm than good. I see a labor market where employers clearly want to hire workers, but there are not enough workers there to be hired. He says Scaling back benefits could incentivize more people to return to work. But Andrew Stettner at the Century Foundation says it's not so simple. We want to believe that we can just turn the lights back on, but that's not really how it works. Industries like tourism and entertainment have been slower to bounce back, and some people face health challenges or child care issues caused by the pandemic that prevent them from finding work.

The resource is to police every workplace. Oh, she is a very small agency. It would take OSHA 165 years to get into every workplace under its jurisdiction. One so it's not like it's going to be running around and inspecting. David Michaels, who headed OSHA during the Obama administration says a scent of binding national requirements will make it clear to employers what they need to do many, many more employers going to follow those basic precautions that we know we're successful. Things like employee training, improved ventilation and mask wearing, perhaps even requiring, and 95 style respirators in high risk work places. But some business groups are concerned about overly prescriptive requirements as employers struggle to make costly adjustments amid economic uncertainty. Edwin Iggy is with the National Retail Federation. Retailers. We've implemented mask mandates. We've done social distance, saying we've installed Plexi Glass. We've installed filtration systems. We've increased the frequency of cleanings. We've done all these things, he says.
