☕ Salary chicken

Salaries get released in New York... November 01, 2022 [View Online]( | [Sign Up]( | [Shop]( [Morning Brew]( TOGETHER WITH [reAlpha]( Good morning. Spooky season has officially ended, and whatever the period in between Halloween and Thanksgiving is called has begun (light coat-a-thon?). Whatever you want to name it, it’s going to be hella busy. - The midterms are one week from today. - Black Panther: Wakanda Forever arrives Friday the 11th. - The World Cup begins on the 20th. - A 16-pound Thanksgiving turkey needs to start thawing the 21st, latest. —Matty Merritt, Max Knoblauch, Abby Rubenstein, Neal Freyman MARKETS Nasdaq 10,988.15 -1.03% S&P 3,871.98 -0.75% Dow 32,732.95 -0.39% 10-Year 4.048% -0.6 bps Bitcoin $20,465.66 -0.60% GameStop $28.31 +0.50% *Stock data as of market close, cryptocurrency data as of 2:00am ET. [Here's what these numbers mean.]( - Markets: Stocks [dipped]( a bit yesterday as investors wait for the Fed’s likely move to raise interest rates by 75 basis points again on Wednesday. But it wasn’t a total fright fest on the last day of October: The Dow closed out its best month since 1976. Meme stocks also had another moment as GameStop shares were briefly halted after spiking early in the day. The price dropped back down later—and, as usual, no one can quite explain the jumpiness.  WORK [New York ends salary chicken]( [Businessperson in black and white with a line of dollar signs.]( Photo Illustration: Dianna “Mick” McDougall, Photo: Jose Luis Pelaez Inc/Getty Images If you work in New York City, you can celebrate Marked-Down-Halloween-Candy Day by comparing your salary to your future coworkers’. Today a new city law goes into effect that requires companies with four or more employees to disclose a specific [pay range]( in every job posting. Several states including Colorado, California, and Washington have already passed similar transparency laws, with more on the horizon. Supporters of salary transparency laws say the rules will help close racial and gender pay gaps. Even businesses that initially pushed back against the NYC law, calling it another hurdle in a tight labor market, are now submitting to the inevitable pay transparency wave. It doesn’t matter where a job is posted: Internal or external sites, flyers, classified ads—even if a job opening is yelled out in the middle of Times Square by the town crier, it will need a salary range. Indeed said it won’t post any NYC-based roles that don’t include salary ranges as of today. The law is expected to affect 4 million private-sector employees: It covers full- and part-time roles, internships, and independent contractors. Even if you don’t live in NYC, you’ll start to see changes If an NYC-based company is hiring for a remote role outside of the Big Apple, it won’t technically need to include the salary info. But companies hiring all over the country are now likely to slap salary ranges on every job. Corporations like American Express and Citigroup have already started doing just that. And a majority of workplaces are seriously considering it, according to a [survey]( from consulting firm Willis Towers Watson. There may be some growing pains…companies are preparing for a surge of raise requests after employees get a clearer picture of what their bosses are willing to pay for someone to do their jobs.—MM �  �  �  mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20this%20story%20from%20Morning%20Brew%21&body=New%20York%20ends%20salary%20chicken%3A%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.morningbrew.com%2Fdaily%2Fstories%2Fsalary-transparency-law-goes-into-effect-in-new-york%3Futm_campaign%3Dmb%26utm_medium%3Dnewsletter%26utm_source%3Dmorning_brew%0A%0AWant%20more%20great%20content%3F%20Subscribe%20to%20Daily%20Brew%20%E2%80%94%20Delivering%20the%20latest%20business%20news%20from%20Wall%20St.%20to%20Silicon%20Valley%20daily.%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.morningbrew.com%2Fdaily%2Fr%2F%3Fkid%3D4904f90a%26utm_source%3Demail_share%0A TOGETHER WITH REALPHA [Game of Homes: House of Fractions]( [reAlpha]( The billion-dollar Houses of Coinbase and Masterworks, simplifiers of crypto and art investing, have a new acquaintance called [reAlpha](.

WORLD [Tour de headlines](#) [A gold oil drum]Francis Scialabba Biden threatens oil companies with higher taxes. Days after oil companies reported massive profits for the last quarter, President Biden [accused]( them of profiteering off the war in Ukraine, and urged them to boost production and bring prices down. If they don’t increase output, he vowed to work with Congress to impose higher taxes in his latest bid to bring gas prices down as midterms approach.

SOCIAL MEDIA [Musk wants blue checks to pay up]( [Twitter illustration]( Francis Scialabba Like anyone else who just made a huge, potentially regrettable purchase, Elon Musk is scrambling for new ways to make money fast. Twitter’s new owner plans to begin [charging]( Twitter users $20 per month to retain their “verified” badge, according to The Verge. Musk wants to make subscribing to Twitter Blue—the company’s paid tier, currently available only in the US, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia—the only way to be verified on the site. And he wants to raise the price from $4.99 to $19.99. Critics pointed out that this update could defeat the current purpose of verification: showing that an account really belongs to the brand, celebrity, or dashing newsletter writer it purports to be. Employees were told to make this change by November 7 or be fired, The Verge wrote. What else is brewing at Twitter? Since purchasing the company on Thursday, Musk has been busy trying to implement drastic changes.

First up: the election’s supply chain problem. The US may be deeply divided this midterm season, but both sides can agree on one thing: There’s not enough paper. That’s a problem because, even though it is the year 2022, US elections still require reams of the stuff—30 million pounds of it for the midterms to be exact, experts told ABC. And now, election officials are worried they could run out of ballots, envelopes, and voter registration forms. Why is there a paper shortage? [Supply chain]( snarls, of course. As the world went digital, paper production in the US decreased with dwindling demand. During the pandemic, many paper mills shifted production to more in-demand shipping materials. To fulfill regular paper orders, they relied on their stockpiles. That means there’s less paper to go around, putting a strain on the election system: - Costs have ballooned 40%—a problem for [candidates](, since it ups the price of all those lawn signs and flyers. - Paper orders that used to take days to fulfill can now take months, so election officials have been warned to take extra care to avoid typos that would require last-minute reprintings. No major paper complications have cropped up in this election yet, but there have been some small snags. And there could be more to come: The paper shortage is expected to drag on through 2023.—AR �  �  �  mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20this%20story%20from%20Morning%20Brew%21&body=A%20looming%20threat%20to%20US%20democracy%3A%20paper%20shortages%3A%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.morningbrew.com%2Fdaily%2Fstories%2F2022%2F10%2F31%2Fmidterms-paper-shortages%3Futm_campaign%3Dmb%26utm_medium%3Dnewsletter%26utm_source%3Dmorning_brew%0A%0AWant%20more%20great%20content%3F%20Subscribe%20to%20Daily%20Brew%20%E2%80%94%20Delivering%20the%20latest%20business%20news%20from%20Wall%20St.%20to%20Silicon%20Valley%20daily.%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.morningbrew.com%2Fdaily%2Fr%2F%3Fkid%3D4904f90a%26utm_source%3Demail_share%0A GRAB BAG [Key performance indicators](#) [Mullett Arena]Christian Petersen/Getty Images Stat: While other sports leagues experiment with high-tech stadiums and crypto sponsorships, the NHL is exploring the concept of tiny homes. The Phoenix Coyotes recently made their home debut in the [5,000-seat capacity]( Mullett Arena, a stadium they’ll temporarily share with its owner: Arizona State University. The Coyotes were evicted from their home stadium, Gila River Arena, last December over outstanding payments, and will play at Mullett for at least three years. On the bright side, the Coyotes expect to sell out every game. Quote: “I’ve heard the word diversity quite a few times, and I don’t have a clue what it means.” Justice Clarence Thomas [expressed skepticism]( yesterday about diversity as a goal in college admissions. He made those remarks as the Supreme Court heard a pair of cases about whether schools can continue to consider race when making decisions about which students to accept. The cases, which concern affirmative action policies at the University of North Carolina and Harvard, could upend how universities have been selecting new students for the past 40 years.
