“Almost two-in-five marketers (38%) in Asia Pacific are allocating more than 30% of their budgets on mobile marketing and advertising, according to data from WARC and the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA)…. In APAC, mobile commerce is far more popular than across other regions which makes it all the more important to master the e-commerce experience as consumers look to shop online more post-COVID.”

“Donald J. Trump’s unlikely defeat of Hillary Clinton is a political earthquake of a kind that rarely disturbs American politics.” The President-Elect “will now need to pick smart advisers and show generosity in victory” as he “lacks political experience” and his “convictions on public policy are especially elusive.” He has “a chance to succeed if he follows through on his pledge to prioritize the economic growth that creates jobs and lifts incomes for all Americans.” He will need to “govern differently than he campaigned.” He will need to “discover a more optimistic and inclusive politics. Or so we can hope, if only for comity and the good of the country.”

In the U.S., the “sad demise” of the summer job is continuing and must be checked. We need to “help connect young people with summer jobs that give them not just money, but also valuable work experience…. When summer jobs were plentiful, young people gained skills and experiences that made them attractive to future employers.”
