Raising a kid is the most expensive in these 10 U.S. cities: report

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 06:45:06 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (NEXSTAR) - It’s no secret that raising a child can be expensive. From childcare, housing, food, and other associated costs, the expenses can rise quickly. Depending on where you live, being a parent can be even more expensive. Using data from MIT’s Living Wage Calculator, personal finance website SmartAsset found that nationally, raising a child costs roughly $20,800 annually. That cost includes childcare (which, on average, will set you back more than $9,000), food and housing, healthcare, transportation, and other necessities. SmartAsset reviewed 381 U.S. metro areas to determine how much it could cost for a two-adult household to raise a child in 2023. Unsurprisingly, many of the most expensive cities were in California, specifically in and around the Bay Area. These are most popular baby names of 2022 Topping out the list was the San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley area, where SmartAsset found the annual cost of raising a child is more than $35,60...

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 06:45:06 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street is ticking higher Friday as it heads toward its best week since March, despite a long list of worries hanging over it.The S&P 500 was 0.2% higher in midday trading and on pace for a 2% gain for the week. That would break a long, listless stretch where it failed to rise or fall by 1% for six straight weeks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 72 points, or 0.2%, at 33,608, as of 11:05 a.m. Eastern time, while the Nasdaq composite was virtually falt.Rising hopes that the U.S. government can avoid a disastrous default on its debt have been one of the main engines for the market this week. The White House said Friday morning in Japan that negotiators told President Joe Biden, who’s at a Group of Seven summit there, they’re making progress on a deal to raise the credit limit for the federal government. Without the ability to borrow more, the U.S. government could default on its debt for the first time and trigger widespread pain across the economy. The...

How one North Carolina lawmaker’s defection from the Democratic Party upended abortion protections

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 06:45:06 GMT

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Mere weeks before North Carolina’s GOP-controlled legislature enacted a 12-week abortion limit over the Democratic governor’s opposition this week, state Republican lawmakers appeared just one vote shy of an override.But one House Democrat — formerly a strong advocate for women’s reproductive rights — unexpectedly switched to the GOP and then voted to squash Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of the bill to limit abortion access. The switch by Charlotte-area Rep. Tricia Cotham also gave Republicans veto-proof margins in both the House and Senate, upending the state’s fragile power balance and perhaps opening the floodgates to a new wave of conservative policies.Republican bill sponsors also could use their newly attained veto-proof majority to propel some GOP-backed education policies and transgender restrictions across the finish line — several of which they introduced the same week she announced her party change.She ran last fall on a platfor...

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 06:45:06 GMT

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers signed quarterback Mitch Trubisky to a three-year contract on Friday, giving the club some long-term stability behind starter Kenny Pickett.Trubisky was about to enter the second season of a two-year deal he signed with Pittsburgh last spring. The signing gives the Steelers a bit of salary cap relief as they try to fortify the roster ahead of the 2023 season.Trubisky j oined the Steelers in March 2022 after a stint backing up Josh Allen in Buffalo. He began 2022 as the starter in Pittsburgh before being replaced by Pickett at halftime of what became a loss to the New York Jets in Week 4.Trubisky, the second overall pick by Chicago in the 2017 draft, passed for 1,252 yards with four touchdowns and five interceptions while appearing in seven games for the Steelers last season.The signing means the depth chart behind Pickett in 2022 will remain intact in 2023. The Steelers signed longtime backup Mason Rudolph to a one-year deal last week. Rudol...
