Where Did All The Good Jobs Go?
CNBC Marathon breaks down the key challenges facing the U.S. labor force as Americans become increasingly anxious about retirement savings, job security and economic uncertainty.
More than 60% of surveyed Americans are more worried about running out of money in retirement than they are about dying, according to a 2025 survey from Allianz Life. Younger Americans are saving more than previous generations, yet they remain deeply pessimistic about retirement. As Social Security faces long-term funding issues and employer pensions fade away, many are depending on working longer to make ends meet. But some economists warn that planning to extend careers may not be a reliable solution considering the prevalence of age discrimination and the overall state of the labor market.
Relatively few people are finding new jobs in the United States. The slowdown in hiring comes as businesses navigate rapidly evolving federal policies on taxes, trade and immigration. In the backdrop, younger people are struggling to find work in software development and marketing roles that may be augmented or replaced by artificial intelligence. The Federal Reserve cut short-term lending rates to support economic growth despite higher than ideal inflation.
The U.S. labor market is showing signs of stagnation. People are quitting their jobs at the lowest rate in recent years and companies are hiring at their slowest pace in more than a decade. Now, employees are opting to stay in jobs that may not be fulfilling. Experts say fears of inflation, layoffs and a cooling economy are driving this trend, which could potentially dampen innovation and hurt long-term economic growth.
Americans are worried about their careers. This CNBC Marathon delves into why young workers are questioning the reliability of the U.S. retirement system, how a stagnating work force is slowing hiring and what that means for Americans staying at jobs they may otherwise would quit if not for the current economic trends.

Apple Battling Hollywood Over 4K Movie Prices, Report Says | CNBC

Consumer Reports, tests more than 200 televisions each year in addition to the thousands of others products and services it reviews.
A few years ago, curved televisions were all the rage. Then 4K became the talk of the town. This year, it’s high-dynamic range (HDR) TVs at a price point buyers can finally afford. To the average consumer, all these changes are hard to keep up with. Here’s why millions of people trust Consumer Reports when it comes to TVs.
First, Consumer Reports uses secret shoppers to buy all of its televisions at retail price. (It does this for every product it reviews.)
“The reason they’re called secret shoppers is because we really don’t want manufacturers to know that we work for Consumer Reports. We don’t want to have a sample that’s souped-up given to us to test,” said Jon Malatino, senior technician at Consumer Reports.
By never accepting samples from manufacturers, Consumer Reports ensures the products it reviews are the same ones everyday buyers are purchasing and putting in their homes.
