Construction employment increased in 223 of 358 metro areas between August 2022 and August 2023, according to an analysis by the Associated General Contractors of America of new government employment data. Association officials said contractors report they would like to hire even more workers but are having trouble finding enough qualified ones to hire.

“Although construction employment is growing in most locations, contractors everywhere report they are having trouble filling positions,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “Many more metro areas would have shown gains if there were enough qualified workers to fill the openings.”

Dallas-Plano-Irving, Texas added the most construction jobs (15,100 jobs or 10 percent), followed by New York City (11,000 jobs, 8 percent); PortlandVancouver-Hillsboro, Ore.-Wash. (9,200 jobs, 11 percent); Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz. (7,700 jobs, 5 percent); and OaklandHayward-Berkeley, Calif. (7,400 jobs, 10

percent). The largest percentage gains were in Baton Rouge, La. (16 percent, 7,100 jobs); followed by 11-percent gains in Wilmington, Del.-Md.-N.J. (2,000 jobs); Middlesex-Monmouth-Ocean, N.J. (4,800 jobs); Cheyenne, Wyo. (400 jobs); and Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro.

Construction employment declined over the year in 79 metro areas and was unchanged in 56 areas. The largest job loss occurred in Houston-The WoodlandsSugar Land, Texas (-6,800 jobs, -3 percent), followed by Nassau County-Suffolk County, N.Y. (-5,200 jobs, -6 percent); MiamiMiami Beach-Kendall, Fla. (-4,400 jobs, -8 percent); St. Louis, Mo.-Ill. (-2,900 jobs, -4 percent); and Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, Fla. (-2,700 jobs, -3 percent). The largest percentage decrease occurred in Kankakee, Ill. (-13 percent, -200 jobs), followed by Pittsfield, Mass. (-9 percent, -200 jobs); Binghamton, N.Y. (-9 percent, -400 jobs); Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, Fla.; and Elgin, Ill. (-7 percent, -1,100 jobs).

Association officials noted said that the

results of a survey the association released earlier this month showed that one of the causes for construction labor shortages is that candidates often lack the skills needed to be hired. They urged public officials to introduce more constructionfocused programs in school and training settings to expose future workers to the hard and soft skills they need. They also urged lawmakers to reform the broken immigration system so people who want to immigrate to the country and work can do so in an orderly and lawful fashion.

“When an industry that pays an average of $34 an hour can’t find enough qualified people to hire we clearly need to rethink the way the country prepares future workers,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer. “In the meantime, we need to secure the border while allowing more people to lawfully enter the country to repair infrastructure, modernize the economy and build their own American dream.”

What you should know before buying a new construction or existing resale home

BY RONA CHEN, NC/SC REALTOR WITH MONARCH CAROLINA HOMES

It’s been a time-honored adage that the American Dream is to work hard, buy a house, and raise a family. In the current economy, it may seem like you can’t afford to buy a house. Many people of all generations have been stuck with this dooming thought for years. It’s only natural, especially if you experienced the foreclosures and bankruptcy effects of the housing crisis in 2008. Many people lost faith in the shared enterprise of our government, and younger generations are faced with accumulating student loans debts and not being able to secure a career in their respected degrees soon enough. Affordability, without a doubt, is the biggest insecurity permeating through our minds. The most common questions I receive are “Are real estate prices dropping?” or “When will interest rates come down?”

The answer is we don’t know. I’m not going to inundate you with the economic principles of supply and demand or how mortgage-backed securities operate. What I do know is that real estate is a good investment, as there will always be a need to buy or sell depending on your life circumstances and financial position. Don’t allow external factors to dictate your living conditions or lifestyle needs. Strategy is more important than interest rates to achieve your housing goals. You are in control, and don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.

New Construction

As we approach the fourth quarter of the year, new construction builders are feeling the pressure to sell their inventory homes to avoid paying property taxes at the end of the year. If you are interested in pursuing new construction homes, here are some cost savings ideas:

• New construction builders can be more price flexible and are willing to negotiate with you as they have end-ofyear sales quotas to meet and are eager to earn your business. Price reductions are being advertised more as higher

interest rates have put many homebuyers on pause. Many new construction builders are offering price reductions and closing costs incentives. They will give up to a certain dollar amount or percentage of the sales price to contribute towards buyer closing costs. Sometimes the closing costs incentive will be substantial enough to cover all your closing costs, buy discount points to lower your interest rate, and even pay for HOA premiums. Covering the closing costs will help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses and ease the burden of your upfront payout. In exchange, they will ask you to use their preferred lender which they oftentimes have affiliated ownership interest with to capitalize on the deal. I highly recommend asking for a loan estimate upfront to compare the terms and fees of the builder’s preferred lender to an outside lender recommended by your realtor before making any commitments. Few consumers are aware that sometimes outside lenders can price match their terms. You should carefully review the loan estimate with your lender and realtor to better understand the expected closing costs to determine what is the most cost-effective option relative to your financial budget.

• Don’t be afraid to ask questions for clarification. One of the factors I assess is to ask the total lots the community will build, and how many they have currently sold. This gives me a baseline ratio of where they are in the building phase. Buying in the early phases of construction offers more room for appreciation and instant equity savings by the time the neighborhood reaches completion, creating more long-term financial gain in resale value when you decide to sell in the future. Builders increase prices for approximately

every 4-6 homes sold as demand steadily grows. This is why working with a trusted realtor who asks the right questions paired with strategic negotiation skills can help you make smart decisions to save you thousands of dollars.

• New construction homes have the architectural allure of everything brand new. Buyers have the privilege and pride of being the first owners of the house. These homes are low maintenance and equipped with energy efficient appliances, materials, and mechanical systems. Production builders will generally be energy star rated or certified. Your realtor should inquire about their construction standards and ask if they meet any other environmental standards. This results in lower utility bills and a reduced environmental footprint. No costly renovation or repair costs are required because in most cases they are covered under warranty. Builders warranty usually extend for one, two, and ten years. The one-year warranty covers any faulty workmanship defects; the two-year warranty covers defects caused by faulty installation in the mechanical systems; the ten-year warranty covers structural defects caused by load bearing elements.

Existing Homes

• Can’t resist the time-tested charm of existing homes? Sometimes it takes a grand vision and a little elbow grease to bring an older home up to modern standards. Whether it’s the character or history of the home that attracts you, there is an undeniable charm and good underlying “bones” newer homes aren’t built with anymore. Here are a few benefits to consider when purchasing a resale home:

• Down payment assistance programs are available from many participating lenders. Many buyers are unaware of these amazing programs because the realtor does not communicate the benefits of these programs because

ServisFirst Bank celebrates growth in Charlotte region

Veteran banker Rick Manley leads the charge

ServisFirst Bank is celebrating a year full of accomplishments and expansion in North Carolina. With veteran banker Rick Manley leading the charge, ServisFirst Bank has marked one year since entering the Charlotte region. Among other milestones, ServisFirst Bank moved into a new Charlotte headquarters in December 2022 and has a Lake Norman loan production office opening in Fall 2023.

Rick Manley, ServisFirst Bank Charlotte Regional President and CEO, joined ServisFirst Bank with forty years of commercial banking and commercial lending experience. Manley’s banking capabilities, personalized service, and proven history as an industry leader have been instrumental in ServisFirst Bank’s establishment in the Charlotte market. With a talented and trustworthy team of bankers beside him, Manley has successfully established ServisFirst Bank’s presence in Charlotte and its surrounding areas.

“We find ourselves in a great position to offer a positive banking alternative to commercial and private banking prospects from the national and regional banks, many in uncertain situations,” states Rick Manley, ServisFirst Bank Charlotte Regional President and CEO.

ServisFirst Bank Charlotte headquarters is located on the 10th floor in the Panorama Tower in Ballantyne at 14818 Ballantyne Village Way on the south side of Charlotte. The tower serves as a

prominent location for the headquarters with strategic transportation corridors to access clients easily. The ServisFirst Bank Lake Norman loan production office is expected to open this upcoming Fall on Bailey Road, half a block from Highway 21.

“Expanding the ServisFirst Bank footprint into Charlotte and North Carolina has been a product of hard work, strategy, and the passion we have for our clients,” expresses Rick Manley. “The team has already accomplished so much in the past year, and we are looking forward to the Lake Norman loan production office opening later this fall.”

The Charlotte and Lake Norman ServisFirst Bank offices make a combined total of 17 employees. Alongside their

expansion efforts, ServisFirst Bank recently ranked 15th on the 2023 Forbes America’s Best Banks list and 21st on the S&P Global Market Intelligence’s 2022 Top 50 Public Banks list.

ServisFirst Bank is a full-service commercial bank focused on commercial banking, correspondent banking, treasury management, private banking and the professional consumer market, emphasizing competitive products, stateof-the-art technology and a focus on quality service.

he/she is not educated on alternative financing options. When affordability is one of the biggest barriers to homeownership, this may be a viable option to consider. There are several different programs offered through state or federal funding. Some private lenders also offer their own DPA (down payment assistance) programs through in-house financing. Buyers can receive anywhere between $8,000 to $30,000 in funding and stack the funds if they meet eligibility requirements. Qualifications can include income limitations, geographic locations of property, sales price limitations, and homeownership counseling courses. There are many intricacies and nuances involved that need to be understood before using a DPA loan. This product may not work with every buyer and the process may take longer than your expected timeline. It is strongly recommended to work with a Certified Workforce Housing agent such as myself who has the educational training, experience, and contacts to connect with these agencies to empower your homeownership goals.

• Purchasing an existing home can offer more negotiation leverage. This will be at the judgement of your realtor

after speaking to the listing agent. Your realtor acts as your eyes and ears interpreting market data to provide you with full field awareness to help you make educated decisions. Usually, if the home is vacant and has been on the market for several days that means the seller is motivated to sell. The seller must pay twice the carrying costs on their current mortgage and the new housing of where they moved to. This is an opportunity for your realtor to negotiate a reduced sales price, ask for seller paid concessions, and secure a quick closing in less than 30 days. This analogy can best be described as paying wholesale price instead of a retail price when the opportunity presents itself.

• Existing homes have mature trees, lush landscaping, wider streets, and houses are generally farther apart from each other compared to new construction homes where the builder squeezes as many lots as they can on the land. Existing neighborhoods are typically located in convenient areas closer to schools, shopping centers, restaurants, and other local attractions. This convenience enhances your quality of life, making it easier and quicker to commute to work, access schools, and socialize. Due to rising land costs, new construction developments are currently

being built in the outliers, or second tier cities, farther away from the city to meet their profit margins. This distance and longer commute times can impact your quality of life creating unexpected strains in your family or relationship. Make sure to consult with your realtor to help you find a home that is in a central area with proximity to your family, school, and work.

Choosing between a new construction home and an existing home all boils down to your personal preferences and budget. Remember, it’s not just about the structure itself, but also the neighborhood, lifestyle, and your long-term plans. Take your time, do your research, and when you find the perfect home, raise a toast to new beginnings! The milestone of homeownership is all about what feels like home to you and the worldclass service your trusted realtor delivers to help you reach your destination.

The most important rule of apartment hunting? Always be first!

When it comes to getting the rental you want, there’s one important rule you must follow: Always be first. Jonas Bordo of Dwellsy shares seven tips to help make sure you don’t get stuck at the back of the applicant line (as well as a wild cautionary tale).

You’re on your way to tour a prospective apartment and feeling optimistic. It’s within your budget, in a great location, and has the right amenities. As you enter the building, you see two women handing a briefcase to the landlord. He opens it, and you see that it’s full of… cash? (What?!?) The landlord shakes hands with the women, then turns to you with a sheepish expression. Yep…these two ladies have just scooped your dream apartment.

Too far-fetched? Nope, says Dwellsy co-founder and CEO Jonas Bordo. He was once the disappointed renter in this exact scenario.

“It was a bummer, but I did learn the most important rule of searching for a rental: Always be first,” says Bordo, coauthor, along with Hannah Hildebolt, of Everything You Need to Know About Renting But Didn’t Know to Ask: All the Insider Dirt to Help You Get the Best Deal and Avoid Disaster (Matt Holt, August 2023, ISBN: 978-1-6377439-2-8, $21.95). “If I’d scheduled my tour even an hour earlier, I would have been the one signing a lease—and not even six months’ rent up-front in cash could have stopped me!”

His point? You might find yourself up against some tight competition during your apartment search. Even a few minutes’ delay in submitting an inquiry or application could make the difference between scoring new digs…or going back to the drawing board.

Fortunately, there are steps renters can take to streamline their apartment search, all of which are covered in Bordo’s upcoming book (available for purchase on August 1). A comprehensive guide to help people “win” at renting, it covers the entire process, from preparing for the rental search to getting your security deposit back after your lease is up. Bordo himself has several decades’ experience as a renter, landlord, property manager, and current CEO of the largest U.S. rental marketplace, making him a trusted authority on all things rental-related.

Here, he shares seven tips to help you stay first in line as you look for a new rental.

First, understand how landlords operate. Applying for an apartment isn’t like applying to a job or college. Landlords don’t wait to amass a pile of applications, then pore through them to identify the “best” tenant. For financial and legal reasons, most landlords respond to inquiries, schedule tours, process applications, and take deposits in the order they’re received.

“Finding a rental is very much a firstcome, first-served process,” confirms

Bordo. “If you’re second in line to see a place, your odds of getting it aren’t as high as they would be if you were first. If you’re fifth in line, your odds are 5 percent or less. And here’s the thing: In a really hot market, the difference between first and fifth place can be just a few minutes.”

Get clear on what type of rental you’re looking for. Make a list of what you want in an apartment: your musthaves, your dealbreakers, and things you’re willing to compromise on. Having your priorities sorted out beforehand will make it easier to move quickly when you see a promising listing: “This checks all my boxes—I’ll send an inquiry email right now!” You’ll also spend less time waffling on rentals that aren’t the best fit.

Get your paperwork in order before sorting through listings. This allows you to identify any gaps and ensures that you’ll be ready to move immediately if the perfect place pops up. While every application is different, most require:

• Pay stubs or bank statements

• Driver’s license, state ID, passport, or green card

• Social Security number

• Checkbook

• If you have a car: vehicle registration and insurance

• If you have a pet: pet registration (if you have it)

• Renters insurance (if you have it)

“If several people are interested in a property, the landlord isn’t going to wait on you to go to your safe-deposit box and dig out your Social Security card,” Bordo says. “They’ll go ahead and process the application of the person who has all their documents in-hand.”

Submit your inquiry via multiple methods. When making an initial inquiry about an apartment, call and email the landlord, and ask to set up a meeting. (Or send a text if that’s a given option!) Then, keep an eye on your phone and respond to all calls and messages promptly.

“Of course you have questions about the apartment, but unless something glaring was missing from the listing, now is not the time to ask most of them,” Bordo says. “For now, your goal is simply to get a tour on your calendar, as soon as possible.”

Book the first available showing. Yes, even if you have to miss lunch, duck out of work for an hour, or reschedule a date with your significant other.

“Remember, you want to tour the apartment before someone shows up with a briefcase of cash…or, more likely, before someone simply writes a deposit check,” he reminds.

Submit a strong application—on the spot, if possible. A vacant property means no income, so most landlords take the first applicant who passes the application process, signs the lease, and pays the deposit. Ergo: Bring the necessary documents and information to your tour so you can apply on the spot.

“Afterward, keep in touch with your potential landlord and promptly send any additional information they ask for,” Bordo recommends. “When you apply, ask

the landlord when they expect to reach a decision so you’ll know when to reach back out without appearing pushy.”

Don’t rush through reading your lease. Easy there, tiger—don’t be so eager to lock down an apartment that you skim through the lease. It’s important to read every word. A lease is an enforceable legal document once the landlord and renter sign it—so be sure you understand and are okay with everything in it before gracing it with your signature.

“You want to identify any dealbreakers or areas of concern before signing the document,” Bordo says. “And if there’s anything you want to negotiate, be sure to do that before signing, too. Even at this stage of the game, though, don’t procrastinate. The apartment isn’t rented until you’ve paid a deposit and signed the lease, so until both of those things are done, it’s possible someone else could scoop the apartment.”

“I’ll never know if those two women had just robbed a bank, were supervillains, or if carrying around a briefcase of cash was just how they rolled,” reflects Bordo. “But I do know that if I had moved with a bit more urgency, I might have found a new place to live that day. From then on, ‘always be first’ was my rental-search mantra—and I urge you to adopt it, too.

“That said, I’ll leave you with a word of caution: Even as you move quickly, be alert to signs of fraud,” he concludes. “Scammers prey on renters who are desperate to find a nice, affordable apartment, pressuring them to send money very quickly—often before touring the property. If someone urges you to send a deposit right now to lock in your spot, that’s a big red flag. While real landlords may let you know you could lose the place if you don’t take action, they rarely use hardball tactics to close the deal because there are multiple interested renters.”

Mayflower data illustrates boom in mid-size metro areas for movers in the U.S.

The looming effects of COVID, coupled with an uncertain economic climate, are making way for a new migration trend — Americans are moving from large metropolitan areas to mid-size cities, and recent Mayflower Transit moving data and customer feedback has made this clear. The often-overlooked mid-size city offers comparable amenities to a larger metropolitan area at a lower cost of living, providing a better quality of life. These findings challenge the long-held belief that bigger cities are better, while highlighting the changing preferences and priorities of the American population.

As part of the 2023 Mayflower “Finding Home” campaign, Mayflower surveyed thousands of individuals across the country over the last two years (movers, past movers and future movers) to understand what drove them to choose a particular city. The results showed a significant shift in mindset, with many Americans now recognizing the benefits of mid-size cities over their larger counterparts.

Based on inbound moves from Mayflower data, the mid-size cities with appealing lifestyle offerings include:

Wilmington, North Carolina (81% inbound)

• Santa Fe, New Mexico (75% inbound)

MARGENAU: What to do when someone dies

Q: I know you’ve written columns about how to handle Social Security affairs after someone dies. In fact, I had clipped one of those columns and saved it. But now I can’t find it. Sadly, my husband, who is in hospice care, isn’t expected to live long. Could you possibly send me a copy of that column? (And just so you know, we are both in our 80s. We each get our own Social Security. But my husband’s benefit is more than mine.)

A: I’m sorry to hear about your husband. I’m going to update that column, with your situation in mind, and run it again. (And I’m also emailing you a copy of this updated column.) And I don’t mind repeating the information from that column because I get emails every week from people asking what to do when a spouse or relative dies.

The first issue I will cover is what to do with the final Social Security check for the deceased. And to do so, I must start out making three points. First, Social Security checks are paid one month behind. So, for example, the check you get in September is the benefit payment for August.

Second, the law says you must be alive for an entire month to get a Social Security check for that month.

And third, Social Security benefits have never been prorated. People don’t like this rule because the Social Security check for the month of death must be returned. For example, if your husband dies on Sept. 28, you would not be due the proceeds of that September Social Security check (normally paid in October) even though he was alive for 28 days of

• Knoxville, Tennessee (70% inbound)

• Greenville/Spartanburg, South Carolina (67% inbound)

• Ashville, North Carolina (66% inbound)

• Greensboro/Winston Salem, North Carolina (65% inbound)

• Fayetteville, Arkansas (65% inbound)

• Charlotte, North Carolina (64% inbound)

• Indianapolis, Indiana (60% inbound)

One of the key factors driving this trend is the cost of living, with Mayflower’s Finding Home survey results revealing that 91% of movers say cost of living is an important factor when buying a home.

“While larger cities have traditionally been associated with higher expenses, midsize cities offer a more affordable lifestyle without compromising on amenities and opportunities,” Mayflower’s Vice President of Corporate Communications Eily Cummings said. “Our customers are sharing incredible stories of the importance of living near an abundance of outdoor space, where they have access to arts and cultural venues, some nightlife and less traffic. As the benefits of living in mid-size cities become more apparent, it is expected that this trend will continue to shape the future of urban living across the country.”

Mid-size cities are often characterized by a strong sense of community and a slower pace of life. Residents reported feeling more connected to their neighbors and experiencing a greater sense of

the month.

But there is a flip side to this lack of proration rule. If your husband did die on Sept. 28, you would be due widow’s benefits for the whole month of September, even though you were a widow for only three days of the month.

And as I’ve explained many times in my column, the lack of proration can help out when someone first starts getting Social Security. For example, if your husband took benefits at age 66 and he turned 66 on April 30 of some past year, he would have received a check for the whole month of April even though he was 66 for only one day of the month.

So, to repeat, when your husband dies, the Social Security check for the month of death must be returned. But that’s only if you get the check in the first place.

I added that qualifier because there is a very good chance the check won’t even show up in your bank account. As you maybe have heard, there are all kinds of computer-matching operations that go on between various government agencies and banks. So, if the Treasury Department learns of a person’s death in time, they won’t even issue the Social Security benefit. Or, if the check was issued, the bank will likely intercept the payment and return it to the government before it even hits your checking account. In other words, you usually don’t have to worry about returning any Social Security checks. It’s almost always done for you.

There can be a little twist to this scenario, though. For example, let’s say that your husband dies on Oct. 2. And

belonging, making mid-size cities an attractive option for those seeking a more fulfilling and connected lifestyle.

“Everything is attractive here,” Karen Merritt, who recently moved from California to Asheville, North Carolina, said. “It’s green all the time! There is an abundance of fresh, locally grown food, and the art community is amazing. I have met many Californians here since I arrived, and they are transplants like me — most of them have left for similar reasons.”

According to the survey:

Nearly half (48%) of movers say the proximity to arts and culture venues helped influence where they moved.

• Roughly two thirds (67%) indicate the weather as a top influence, followed by proximity to parks, green spaces and nature trails (61%).

• Other top reasons for moving or considering moving include wanting to be closer to family (32%), financial reasons (28%) and to accept a new job (19%). In fact, relocating to states for a higher rate of pay is on many movers’ minds, with 61% of movers saying they would relocate across states.

• 37% of movers have started a side hustle due to the rising cost of living. The businesses they are pursuing include:

• 36% Freelancing/consulting

• 31% Small business

• 24% Content creation

let’s further say that his Social Security check was normally sent to him on the third of each month. In other words, your husband died just before his Social Security check was deposited into his bank account. Because he was alive the whole month of September, that means he was due the money from that September check. And now you, as his widow, are due that money. Sometimes bank officials will sort of just wink at you and let you keep the proceeds of that last Social Security check. But if they follow the letter of the law, that September Social Security benefit (paid on Oct. 3) would have to be returned to the Social Security Administration. Then it will be reissued to you in your name. (There is a form that needs to be filled out to get that to happen. You’d have to talk to an SSA rep about that.)

So far, I’ve been talking about dealing with the last Social Security check that was sent to your husband. Now let’s talk about getting any Social Security widow’s benefits that will be due. Because you said his benefit is more than yours, after he dies, your benefit will be bumped up to whatever he was getting at the time of death. For example, if he was getting $2,800 per month and you are getting $2,100, after he dies, you will start getting $700 in widow’s benefits to take your total benefits up to his $2,800 level.

You will have to contact the SSA at 800-772-1213 to set up an appointment to file a widow’s claim. (For reasons too complicated to explain in this column, widow’s claims must be filed in person.)

At the same time, you will file a claim for

These recent findings will have significant implications for urban planning and development in midsize cities. As more Americans move, policymakers and city planners will need to adapt to accommodate this shifting trend. Investments in infrastructure, transportation and community development will be crucial to ensure the continued growth and success of these cities.

“Knoxville isn’t a small town, but it’s not big like Los Angeles,” Ron Wollard, who recently moved from California to Knoxville, Tennessee, to be closer to family said. “There is lots to do, Smoky Mountain National Park is right here so there are recreational opportunities and a thriving economy. It is a nice blend, and it is not a problem getting from one place to another.” Staff report

that measly little one-time death benefit of $255. (I’ve written past columns about why that so-called death benefit is so small.) You will probably need to provide two bits of documentation: a copy of your marriage papers and a death certificate.

There may be some women reading this column who are not getting their own Social Security, but instead are getting only spousal benefits on their husband’s account. If that is you, when your husband dies, no widow’s application is required. You would simply notify the SSA that your husband died, and they just push few buttons to automatically switch you from wife’s benefits to widow’s benefits. As part of the process, you may have to provide a copy of the death certificate. I say “may have to provide” because there is a chance the SSA will already have some proof of death in their files. And you don’t need to provide a marriage certificate because you already did that back when you filed for spousal benefits.

GOLDMAN: Shocker! Intelligence comes to the HR department

It’s artificial intelligence to be sure, but let’s be honest here. Putting even a smidgen of computer-generated brainpower in a part of your company famous for empty-headed decision making has to be an improvement.

Or does it?

It shouldn’t be a surprise that HR has lagged in the technology adoption that has affected every other department in your company. Accounting would grind to a halt without the number-crunching power of Excel. Sales would flounder without the customer-contact facility of Zoom. And Marketing would be a bunch of clueless doofuses, walking into walls, without the vital learning provided by ABCmouse.

But the role of HR is to bring the “human touch” to the soulless corporate workplace. This may be why the earliest attempts to bring automation to the department have failed. Even the most promising efforts, like employing a warehouse inventory robot to roam the office, using its mechanical arm to pluck employees from their desks and ship them off for recycling, was eventually abandoned, due to increased postage costs.

But now, finally, HR has a powerful software solution for its unique challenges -- the artificial-intelligence superstar, a Generative Pre-Training Transformer -- ChatGPT to its friends.

I learned about the move to put AI in HR thanks to an unsolicited email invitation to a one-hour, $149 training course, “ChatGPT & HR: A Primer on Training the ChatGPT Tool.”

And what do you learn in an AI in HR course?

Your first lesson is an “overview of the training process involved in preparing the ChatGPT tool for use in your organization.” Like a newborn, your AI program comes tabula rasa. Like a parent, you must teach your knownothing software about the way your company operates, which is interesting in itself -- the department whose job is training people now has to devote its time to training computers.

But train you must. How else will the AI program learn the kind of cringing toadies the bosses want to hire and what kind of hard-charging strivers will be fired the instant it looks like they are out for a manager’s job? You’ll also have to teach the program how to refuse requests for time off and how to reject an expense account ($1.95 for lunch? Ridiculous!) ChatGPT doesn’t go to lunch and it never takes vacations. Best of all, ChatGPT doesn’t refuse to go back to the office. It knows it’s more productive working closely with other AI programs out to take over the world.

When your AI program is not busy rejecting expense reports and denying

vacation requests, it will be busy “creating compelling job descriptions, developing engaging social media posts for recruitment campaigns and streamlining interactions for managing current employees.”

As this technology takes hold, you may come to recognize an AI-generated job description, especially when candidates are told that 10% of their salary must be devoted to ChatGPT upgrades and that questioning Chat GPT decisions is a fireable offense.

In social media, the company will certainly want to generate hundreds of TikToks, showing internet influencers wearing “I heart my ChatGPT” spirit wear, performing steamy ChatGPTgenerated dance moves and dating ChatGPT-approved Kardashians.

(The course description also includes lessons in “Understanding the Stud.” I don’t know what this means, and I don’t want to.)

“Maintaining Ethical AI Practices” is the critical learning module in which students “explore the ethical biases that may emerge” -- biases like no one being hired or promoted if they need to sleep or take bathroom breaks.

Of course, there is a fear that a program potentially transformative to humanity could also become a threat to humanity. In HR, the program will certainly be used to choose which jobs

should be eliminated. Since firing an employee takes time and can require costly severance payments, the program may decide that there is a significant cost-benefit to simply murdering employees it deems unnecessary. It’s a task easily accomplished by delegating the job to MafiaGPT. They’re good at this sort of thing.

The authors of the course do acknowledge the possibility that “anxiety creeps in as HR professionals witness the relentless march of technology, rendering their roles as vulnerable to obsolescence.”

Can we expect our human resource professionals to master a scary technology that makes them a lot more effective and lot less necessary? Let’s hope so. Because the more time HR spends worrying about losing their jobs, the less time they’ll have to figure out ways to make you lose your job.

And if you doubt it, just ask your nearest chatbot.

Rising hidden costs of housing and expert tips to mitigate inflation

NIRAV SHAH | WEALTH OF GEEKS

A recent study on housing cost by Zillow for the quarter of 2023 reveals that in 39 large U.S. metro areas, the median of these auxiliary expenses was $14,155 a year. According to this study, the primary drivers of the increasing hidden cost of homeownership were insurance, maintenance, taxes, and utility costs.

Over the last few years, the American housing sector has slowed considerably, in part caused by apprehension of potential inflation. While the focus has remained on rising prices, homeownership’s rapidly increasing hidden costs have taken the backseat.

Another real estate survey, from Real Estate Witch, suggests that nine of 10 homeowners who purchased homes in the last three years need help to bear the additional costs of financing and maintaining their property. Significantly, 73% of respondents regretted buying a home, primarily because of hidden fees and expensive maintenance.

Most of these homeowners were surprised by the high cost of property taxes, renovations, utilities, insurance, etc. The survey also revealed that, on average, these homeowners pay an amount of $17,459 annually in addition to mortgages.

Hidden Costs of Homeownership

The actual cost of owning a house involves numerous hidden expenses beyond monthly mortgage payments. Some are routine and inescapable costs, while others are occasional and unpredictable.

Out of all these homeownership costs, homeowners insurance is the most essential. Though this is not an unexpected expense, rising insurance premiums are a matter of concern right now. Often, conditions not included in the policy can come as expensive surprises for homeowners.

Typically, these policies do not have coverage against disasters such as hurricanes, floods, or volcanoes. Most of the primary insurance policies should provide cover against water damage from storms. Homeowners living in areas prone to natural disasters must purchase additional coverage, which can be expensive.

As a result of rapid climate change over the last few decades, home insurance premiums have increased significantly. Many Americans still intend to move to states with a high likelihood of climaterelated natural disasters.

Despite experiencing extreme weather conditions frequently, Florida and Texas registered the highest population gains nationwide in 2022. Compared to the national average of approximately 21%, the premiums for property coverage for Florida and Texas have increased by 57% and 40% respectively since 2015.

Insurance and Taxes

At present, two out of three American homes are underinsured. With home insurance getting more expensive, many average homeowners will have to cut back even further or even opt out of insurance for natural disasters.

expense that comes with homeownership. This amount has nothing to do with the lender or bank, however. The county, city, or town of the property determines this cost.

According to real estate records provider ATTOM, in 2022, New Jersey, Illinois, Connecticut, Vermont, and Nebraska topped the effective property tax rates. On the other hand, these rates were lowest in Hawaii, Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, and Tennessee.

To reduce their hidden cost of homeownership, many Americans living in cities with high property taxes have now started relocating to cities with lower rates.

In addition to tax and insurance, maintenance and routine upkeep is another significant component of homeownership cost. Apart from regular maintenance activities such as home cleaning and lawn care, this also includes additional costs for pest control, roof repair, emergency electrical repairs, HVAC, plumbing systems, and much more.

Impact on Millennials & First-Time Homeowners

The State of the Nation’s Housing report for 2023, released by Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies, clearly indicates serious obstacles remain for firsttime homeownership.

According to this report, the annual income required for renters to afford median homeownership costs increased by 20% to $117,000, which is significantly higher compared to their national median income. Compared to early 2022, there was a slight drop in median home prices in 2023. However, the homeownership costs increased because of rapidly rising interest rates.

In this increasingly challenging housing market, the rate of home purchase by millennials is significantly lower compared to generations before. The Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey indicates that

compared to 58.2% for Gen X in 2006 and 56.5% for baby boomers in 1990, the homeownership rate for millennials in 2022 was 51.5%.

Mitigation Tips Against Inflation

Though rising hidden costs are a significant concern for homeowners, it is still possible to safeguard themselves against inflation. One of the best ways to do this is to make a conscious effort to reduce energy costs. In an article published recently on the real estate advisory platform Physician on Fire, a noted realestate expert strongly recommends using a whole house fan.

These cooling systems provide ventilation by circulating air and cooling the entire property, with significantly lower power consumption than traditional air-conditioners. These systems work most efficiently at certain times of the year, however, depending on weather conditions.

“The monthly cost of running the whole house fan 8 hours per day is in the range of $5 to $15 a month. You may not need to run it for that length of time, though,” Leif Dahleen explains. He also points out an average of “$10 a month for a whole house fan going 8 hours a day to running central air 8 hours a day it would add over $150 to the electric bill of an average home.”

Many homeowners are managing the rising cost of homeownership by making smarter lifestyle choices, such as house hacking. This unique strategy involves homeowners living in one room or unit of a house and renting out the remaining areas. House hacking is a great way to cover monthly housing costs and generate income for homeowners. Homeowners opting to house hack can leverage conventional and FHA mortgage loans, with down payments as low as 3% to 3.5% on primary residences.

Although many homeowners consider house hacking to reduce their living expenses, some consider it the first

step towards a career as a real estate investor. The rapidly increasing cost of homeownership allows homeowners to afford their lifestyle using an asset they already have.

Lifestyle Inflation

Addressing lifestyle inflation is another way of managing high homeownership expenses. As an individual’s income grows, there is also an increased desire for personal discretionary spending. This common human tendency is known as lifestyle inflation. While upgrading lifestyle along with increased income is tempting, it can result in future financial strain if left unchecked.

Lifestyle inflation leads to people spending more on non-essentials, such as luxury goods, travel, and dining. This instinct to spend excess income on personal interests is not limited to the highest earners, however. A shift to the upper middle class can also trigger a spending spree on upgrades, repairs, and replacements.

Lifestyle inflation has a severe negative impact on long-term financial goals. Making impulse purchases or indulging in small luxuries may seem harmless, but these habits can jeopardize an individual’s ability to pay off debt, save for retirement, or invest. The best ways to combat this problem are to set spending limits, prioritize larger financial goals, and maintain a sustainable lifestyle.

Homeowners can also reduce costs by renegotiating insurance coverage, downsizing their homes. and performing their own maintenance and repairs when possible. If the tax rate continues to rise while property prices drop, it is also an excellent idea to consider moving to a state with lower tax rates or a more affordable cost of living.
