An electric vehicle company and a big hotel have disclosed plans for hundreds of job cuts affecting their Bay Area workers, the latest jolts for an increasingly wobbly employment market in the nine-county region.

Rivian Automotive and Marriott San Mateo Hotel have revealed their decisions to chop jobs in the Bay Area, according to official notices the companies sent to the state Employment Development Department.

The two companies plan to slash a combined 276 jobs in the Bay Area, the WARN notices show.

Here are the details of the recent layoffs:

— Rivian Automotive, a maker of electric vehicles, has decided to cut 149 jobs in Palo Alto. The company also is cutting another 154 jobs in the Orange County city of Irvine.

— Marriott San Mateo Hotel is cutting 127 jobs in San Mateo as part of the closure of that hotel.

The job cuts are all described as being permanent.

Across the street from Corona Plaza, sales at Alondra Cardoso’s hair salon have dipped 30%, or some $200 to $300 dollars a week, since the clientele from the former street vendor market no longer venture into her shop. Delivery worker Jorge Marin, 35, now orders breakfast from a bakery at a nearby intersection. He used to load up on tamales and yogurt and steaming cups of champurrado at the market, which expanded during the height of the pandemic. Now, at the bakery, he said he spends more for less. “It’s been dead,” Queens Borough President Donovan Richards said of the plaza since the vendors’ departure. “It’s taken the life out of the community.” The scene on a recent day in Corona Plaza, Queens, where a crack

Consumer Price Inflation, by Type of Good or Service (2000-2022) - Visual Capitalist

Published 1 day ago on February 22, 2023 Consumer Price Inflation, by Type of Good or Service (2000-2022) The Consumer Price Index (CPI) provides a steady indication of how inflation is affecting the economy. This big picture number is useful for policymakers and professionals in the financial sector, but most people experience inflation at the cash register or checkout screen. Since the start of the 21st century, U.S. consumers have seen a divergence of price movements across various categories. Nowhere is this better illustrated than on this chart concept thought up by AEI’s Mark J. Perry . It’s sometimes referred to as the “chart of the century” because it provides such a clear and impactful jump-off point to discuss a number of economic forces. The punchline is that many consumer goods—particularly those that were easily outsourced—saw price drops, while key “non-tradable” categories saw massive increases. We’ll look at both situations in more detail below. Race
