Kia Recalls Over 80,000 Vehicles Due to Airbag and Wiring Issues

Free Repairs Offered for 2023-2025 Niro EV, Hybrid, and Plug-in Hybrid Models

Kia is recalling more than 80,000 vehicles in the U.S. because of damaged wiring under the front passenger seat. This issue could stop airbags and seat belts from working properly or even cause side curtain airbags to deploy by mistake.

The recall affects 2023-2025 Niro EV, Hybrid, and Plug-in Hybrid models. Kia dealers will fix the problem for free by inspecting, replacing, and rerouting the wiring. Protective covers will also be added. Owners will get notification letters in March.

This comes after a November recall when Kia and Hyundai addressed a charging issue in over 208,000 electric cars.

Recent Graduates Struggle to Find Jobs in a Tough Market

Universities Face Pressure to Better Prepare Students for Careers

Many recent college graduates are struggling to land jobs despite degrees, internships, and good grades. Competition is tougher, employers demand more skills, and entry-level positions are harder to secure.

Madia Bellebuono, a 2024 graduate with two internships and a strong GPA, has applied for over 300 jobs without success. A study shows unemployment rates for new graduates are the highest since the 1990s. Experts say universities need to do more to prepare students, such as offering mandatory internships and career-focused programs.

Some schools, like Northeastern and Drexel, lead with co-op programs that combine real-world work experience with academics. These programs give students a competitive edge, helping them secure jobs faster. For many graduates, career-driven education is becoming the key to navigating today’s job market.

Why Undermining Federal Economic Data Puts Everyone at Risk

Trust in Reliable Data Is Crucial for Decisions That Impact Lives

Federal economic data, vital for policymaking and business decisions, faces declining trust, funding cuts, and falling survey participation rates. Experts warn that dismissing this data as "fake" or reducing its collection harms the economy and people’s livelihoods.

Accurate data guides investments, tracks economic health, and supports underserved communities. However, lower response rates and outdated methods are making data less reliable, opening it to criticism. Experts suggest modernizing data collection and ensuring secure funding to maintain its integrity.

Without trustworthy statistics, decisions could worsen, leaving businesses, policymakers, and communities less prepared for challenges ahead.
