  • Parents spent 24% of their income on childcare last year, up from 7% in the 1980s. In most of the U.S., childcare now costs more annually than in-state tuition at public universities. 1
  • Since 1980, the cost of a four-year college has jumped nearly 170%, while inflation-adjusted median earnings for bachelor’s degree holders rose just 25%. In 1996, only 31% of parents saw funding a child’s education as their responsibility, but last year, 77% used their income and savings for college costs. 1
  • Global spending on AI and AI-enabled tech is expected to exceed $630 billion by 2028, with a 29% annual growth rate. Top growth areas include augmented claims processing (35.8% growth) and digital commerce (33.2% growth). 2
  • The S&P 500 has hit 38 record highs this year. Despite the pullback in August, stocks are nearing highs again, sparking concerns of a potential correction, as a 10% or greater drop has happened at least once a year since the 1930s. *3
