Good evening and welcome to Markets Desk.
The debate over whether a college degree still pays off is getting fresh ammunition from the data. Despite a wave of Gen Z skepticism, figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics confirm that graduates remain the least likely demographic to be unemployed, even as entry-level corporate hiring tightens and trade entrepreneurs dominate the new-wealth conversation. The credential still carries a floor.
Shifting to the intersection of family and enterprise, billionaire Jim Thompson, founder of Crown Worldwide, has handed the reins of his global logistics company to his daughter Jennifer Harvey, who assumed the chief executive role in two thousand twenty three. Thompson spoke candidly about the tension between being a founder and a father, and Harvey offered her own account of navigating a business empire where the org chart and the family tree overlap in complicated ways.
And in Kentucky, a primary race is shaping up as a genuine stress test of presidential influence within the Republican Party. The Trump-versus-Massie contest is drawing in billionaire allies, dark-money infrastructure, and a messaging war that reportedly spans everything from Epstein to artificial intelligence-generated political content, making it one of the more consequential intraparty battles of the cycle.
That's the tape.
