My latest story for @CNN:

The "gig economy" (like driving for Uber or delivering for Doordash) may be distorting employment data – but we don't know for sure because the US government doesn't officially keep track of people who do this type of work.

Numbers to know as Hollywood's actors strike:

160K @sagaftra members join 11K WGA members on strike

Just 12.7% of SAG-AFTRA members make enough to qualify for union health insurance

Potential economic damage of the writer/actor strike could be $4B

Overall, it's clear that tourism has taken a hit in certain parts of Florida.

Orange County, which includes Orlando, collected 6.7% less from its tourist development tax (collected on short-term rentals and hotels) this May, compared to last year.

My latest for @CNN with @NatashaChenCNN: a deep dive into why Disney's and Universal's Florida theme parks seem emptier this summer.

@CNN @NatashaChenCNN @Disney On @CNBC today, Bob Iger told @davidfaber that shorter wait times at Disney's rides & attractions in Florida are a result of more competition: last year, fewer states were open due to the pandemic, and Florida was "the only game in town," according to Iger.

My latest on San Francisco's economy for @CNN is about whether AI can rescue the city's struggling commercial real estate business.

Office vacancy rates are at a 30-year high, but some AI firms are capitalizing on lower rents and moving back in:

Taylor Swift got even closer to being dragged into last year's FTX debacle than previously thought. Her team had agreed to a $100 million tour sponsorship deal with the crypto exchange, according to a source.

This year, scientists expect a warmer winter in the northern US and a colder/rainier winter in the south due to El Niño. That may impact the entire economy.

It’s not just deep-sea exploration that may carry danger for thrill-seeking tourists.

Congress has a regulations moratorium on commercial spaceflight, meaning traditional FAA regulations don’t apply to commercial space trips from @virgingalactic, @blueorigin, or @SpaceX

I wrote about how the missing Titanic sub highlights the dangers of the growing extreme tourism industry that caters to the ultra-wealthy, including trips to space.

[Sam Delouya @samdelouya]

OceanGate’s Titan sub was a “gray area” not subject to the same regulations as many traditional ships and submarines.

The company’s CEO, Stockton Rush, had repeatedly claimed that existing regulations needlessly prioritize passenger safety over commercial innovation.
