  • How Trump’s immigration could work

    How Trump’s immigration could work


    Washington
    CNN

    The Trump administration strives for immigration – legally and otherwise – the stage for potential labor shortages, weaker economic growth and higher inflation.

    President Donald Trump announced a flurry of immigration policy immediately after the end of January, many of them were aimed at curbing illegal entries – a core principle of his presidential campaign. But he has also been demolished from legal roads, such as closing the asylum search process on the border between the US and Mexico and the cancellation of flights for refugees that had already been examined.

    “The reality is that we depend on immigrant work in this country and Trump’s policy can have enormous consequences for many industries,” Jorge Loweee, director of programs at the American Immigration Council, told CNN.

    In the past, Trump said that he would welcome legal immigrants and says: “We must have the quality people who come in” on his second day at the office. Last week he unveiled a visa program “Gold Card” For rich foreigners to live and work in the US.

    But various experts say CNN that legal immigration is expected to decrease during Trump’s second term, because his administration promotes an enemy environment for immigrants through its policy and messages, which could lead to less available employees in industries and higher inflation. There are already signs of slowing down legal immigration.

    “It has been surprisingly quiet,” Melissa Lopez, a lawyer and executive director of Estrella del Paso Immigration Legal Services Firm, told CNN. “I’ve been doing this here for 17 and a half years here in El Paso, and this feels low.”

    Because Americans have fewer children, the population is starting to age. This means that healthcare is increasingly desperate for employees to take care of the elderly. And industries that depend on younger people, including construction and agriculture, need staff.

    Economists say that immigration is the solution that America’s economy needs. That’s a dilemma – because the White House says immigration is The problem.

    Legal immigration to the US was deposited in 2020 due to limitations from the Pandemic era, but climbed sharp in the coming years.

    Last year, around 2.8 million people emigrated legally to the United States, according to the Census Bureau. This includes refugees and those who enter the country through employee visa, accounting for 84% of the population growth of the country in 2024.

    A report from the right -loving Cato Institute that was released last month argued that the high degree of immigration of today Trump “gives more room to implement limitations” because it tries to “shaten his nativist basis and the nationalist political class by reducing legal immigration.”

    “I expect that we will see further limitations against the summer,” says David Bier, director of immigration studies at the Cato Institute. The Trump government is considering appealing to a public health order that labels migrants on the southern border in search of asylum as risks for spreading diseases – a power officials who are used during the pandemic to close the border.

    Allianz Trading predicts legal immigration to be reduced by almost half in 2026. In combination with massive deportations, that delay in immigration can lead to population growth falling by 0.2% that year.

    Jennifer Babaie, director of advocacy and legal services at Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center, said she expected that it is “much more difficult for people to request everything” in the coming years, making the number of people successfully emigrating to the US legally.

    “We expect delays, both because staff in court has fallen as well as because (immigration and customs) staff and financing are in danger,” said Babaie. “We are now also spending hours in detention to just interview people to understand people to understand what is going on, because we do not get information or cooperation between the administration, and that cuts in the time that we could work on a complicated assignment.”

    There were 47.8 million immigrants in the United States in 2023, with a total of $ 1.7 trillion in purchasing power and who paid around $ 652 billion in taxes, according to the American Immigration Council. That economic power runs the risk of Trump’s immigration agenda.

    The trading forecast of the Allianz estimates that Trump’s occurrence against illegal and legal immigration could withstand the GDP to an annual growth rate of less than 2% in 2026. The Brookings Institution estimates that the growth could be 0.4 percentage point this year, if Trump continues to limit the legal immigration. On the campaign track, Trump said that he “probably wants to deport 15 million and perhaps no less than 20 million” people, which would be a complicated and expensive company.

    Immigrants include more than 20% of employment in agriculture, construction, transport, storage, general services and waste services, estimates the American Immigration Council. This means that employers in those industries are expected to be in a binding as Trump continues with mass deportations and limiting legal immigration.

    “These industries have very tight labor markets, so very restrictive and aggressive about immigration, Trump will not give the economic growth and success he wants,” said Giovanni Peri, professor of economics at the University of California, Davis, who studies the intersection of immigration and labor.

    Peri said that labor shortages, encouraged by a clamp on immigration, could lead to rising prices for food, housing and tourism. He added that immigration companies are essential, also because of the changing demography of the country.

    “In a situation where many more Americans are retiring, more immigration would really benefit the labor market and the growth of the economy,” said Peri.

  • Pope Francis remains hidden from the public: Vatican says his health is improving

    Pope Francis remains hidden from the public: Vatican says his health is improving

    A stable Pope Francis had a visit from the State Secretary of Vatican on Sunday while continuing his recovery of double pneumonia, the Vatican said, but again skipped his weekly afternoon blessing to prevent even a short public appearance from the hospital.

    Instead, the Vatican spread a message from the pope in which he thanked his doctors for their care and benefactors for their prayers, and again prayed for peace in Ukraine and elsewhere.

    “From here, war seems even more absurd,” Francis said in the message, which he has prepared of the Gemelli hospital in recent days, the Vatican said. Francis said he lived his hospitalization as an experience of deep solidarity with people who are sick and suffer everywhere,

    “In my heart I feel the ‘blessing’ that is hidden in vulnerability, because it is exactly at these moments that we learn even more to trust the Lord,” Francis said in the text. “At the same time I thank God for giving me the chance to share the condition of so many sick and suffering people in body and mind.”

    Signs indicate a recovery

    It marked the third weekend in a row that Francis has canceled the Sunday appointment that the Angelus prayer delivered personally. He could have done this from his 10th floor Hospital suite in the Gemelli Hospital if he was good enough.

    But many signs indicated that he was recovering and improved. “The night was quiet, the Pope still rests,” said the Vatican in his Sunday update.

    Cardinal Pietro Parolin and his staff chef, Archbishop Edgar Pena Parra, called on the Pope on Sunday morning, their second visit since the hospital admission of Francis, according to the spokesperson for Vatican, Matteo Bruni. There were no details about what was discussed, but the mere visit suggested that the condition of Francis stabilized.

    “The night was quiet, the Pope still rests,” said the Vatican in his Sunday early update.

    He had no fever or signs of raised white blood cells, which would indicate that his body is still against infection.

    Doctors on Saturday reported that Francis was in a stable state, without being critical. Their cheerful assessment came one day after a breathing crisis that led to him not being submitted invasive mechanical ventilation.

    But the 88-year-old Pope had a “good reaction” in his gas exchange levels, even during the “long periods”, he was from the Ventilatormasker on Saturday and only used high-flow additional oxygen, said the Vatican.

    The fact that Francis was able to use long -term oxygen with high current, without any significant effect on the oxygen levels in his blood, was a sign that his respiratory function was improving.

    However, doctors were careful and kept his prognosis as guarded, which means that he was not in danger. He was eating and drinking and continued his breathing physiotherapy and spent 20 minutes in his private chapel in the hall on Saturday, the Vatican said.

    The pope, who had removed part of one lung as a young man, has lung disease and was recorded on February 14 on 2 February after an attack by bronchitis deteriorated and turned into a complex pneumonia in both lungs.

    Prayers continued to flow in

    Francis’s hospitalization has come because the Vatican marks its holy year and attracts pilgrims from everywhere to Rome. They walk through the holy door in St. Peter’s Basilica and also make pilgrimages to the Hilltop Umbrian city of Assisi, to pray in the house of the namesake of Francis, St. Franciscus.

    “Every day we pray for the Pope,” said the Reverend Jacinto Bento, a priest who visits Assisi on Saturday with a group of 30 anniversary pelgrims from the Azores Islands. “We are very sad for his situation.”

    In a strange coincidence, Francis was supposed to have chaired Saturday about a holy annual audience in the auditorium of the Vatican for the staff of the Gemelli Hospital and other health workers. They came as planned and completed the pilgrimage, while Francis continued his recovery in the hospital.

    “We thought we could meet him this morning in Paul VI Hall for the Jubilee catechesis, but he surprised us by coming to us,” said Monsignor Claudio Giuliodori, spiritual guide of the Catholic University of the Holy Heart, of which Gemelli is part.

    Giovanni Frisullo, a gemelli neurologist, said that the atmosphere in Gemelli was one of tension and prayer. “There is a situation of waiting but also of hope,” he said.

    • The original bid started on a modest $ 250 before it quickly jumped into the thousands.

With the premium of the buyer, a mandatory ‘reimbursement rated by Goldin, which is 22% of the final bid price of purchased items’, the Grand-Totaal is $ 87,840 for a non-official Pokémon card.

    Earlier, when we initially treated the legendary “cheetozard”, the bids were with a touch of more than $ 4,000. Of course that was on February 22 and with the auction that ended on Saturday 1 March, things would certainly be Zanier. A total of 60 Bids were placed over the duration of the auction, with the first bid with a meager $ 250 before he shot up.

    Amazon just gave Alexa his biggest upgrade since the debut – and you want an ultrasound show for it

    Echo -Show

    Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNet

    The beginning of the beginning of the start of the start of the start of the start of the start of the year took place a few days ago and the company made it clear that AI will remain in the center of his hardware universe. The fashion word of the century is Alexa, perhaps the most popular virtual assistant in the world. SVP from devices and services Panos Panay suggested that millions of new customers use it every day during the event.

    Also: everything you need to know about Alexa+, Amazon’s new generative AI assistant

    And that is probably true: Alexa is the core of Amazon’s most prominent hardware products, including Echo speakers and fire TVs. Today the company showed what the next step has for his virtual assistant, now called Alexa+, because it seems to compete with Google, OpenAi and others. The new Alexa will be “something that you understand, that can actually take action”, Panay teased, and it will work with tens of thousands of Amazon Partners.

    Here is an overview of the best new functions with Alexa+ and how much it will cost.

    1. Multimodal, agent interactions

    Alexa+ can now process visual information via the cameras of your device to understand and answer questions, powered by LLMS and can now process visual information. In one case, Alexa was asked to describe the excitement and enthusiasm of the crowd during the event by using the camera of the Echo Show 15. Although the answers were two to three sentences, they were descriptive and dictated in a fairly approachable tone.

    The Agentic options of Alexa+ extend to browsing, with the possibility to navigate internet via Alexa.com and to complete tasks for you on websites with Amazon-partner. Alexa, for example, was asked to book a professional repairer for a damaged device. Then it searched for a nearby repair service and booked an appointment via Thumbtack.

    Also: Amazon’s new Alexa+ Companion devices are coming this fall

    In another demo, a presenter collaborated with Alexa to develop a shopping list, in which items are presented to add or remove during the conversation. Surprisingly, the function of shopping partners outside Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh supported.

    As Alexa responds, a smooth blue animation appears at the bottom of the device screen. This new change reflects Amazon’s more expressive user interface.

    2. Conversational chain of commands

    In addition to responding more naturally, with Humor’s sprinkles, another big unveiling showed how Alexa can now fulfill tasks in your daily apps and services, including your agenda and e -mails. It can book a dinner for you and also send invitations to your close contacts. We have seen similar agent possibilities with Google’s Gemini.

    In a demo, the virtual assistant was asked to recommend local pizzerias, to which he pulled the best -rated shop fronts via Yelp. Another example was asking Alexa to remember things, such as “Mary loves Greek and Indian eating and is vegetarian, but doesn’t like peanut butter.” It did exactly without question.

    3. Renewed home screen on Echo Show

    Amazon also unveiled a series of new widgets in addition to the renewed Echo show start screen, including those recipes, recent apps, weather, shopping lists and connected Smart Home devices come to the surface.

    Also: 5 Amazon Alexa Privacy settings that you must change immediately

    The adaptive display uses the property with a larger screen to display relevant information, depending on whether you are far away from the device or poet. For example, the Echo show shows photos and personalized content from far away and switches to a more detailed layout when you approach it.

    4. Perform music with voice

    For a music demo early Panay Alexa: “What is the song that Bradley Cooper sings … it’s in a duet?” To which it answered, “superficially with Lady Gaga from the film *a star was born *.” More impressive, you can now dictate where music plays if you have several speakers with Alexa in your house.

    Also: the best Alexa devices from 2025: tested expert tested and recommended

    For example, you can ask Alexa to play music left or right, with the assumption that speakers are mounted in designated areas. We must see exactly how reliable this is in real-world tests. And for the last trick from Amazon asked Panay Alexa to go to the scene in the film when “Sallow” is sung, and it did – with the second attempt.

    5. Improved ring integration

    Alexa now supports AI-driven video search, so that the recordings of ring cameras can process to answer questions. In a live -demo, Panay asked the assistant whether someone had taken the dog yesterday or the day before, which he adorned by previous video bibliotheken to determine the answer.

    6. Dense document processing

    “You can now share just about everything with Alexa,” said Mara Segal, director of Alexa. This includes dense legal documents, handwritten notes, school schedules, PDFs and more, from which the assistant can process the content and answer related questions.

    Also: how I feed my files to a local AI for better, more relevant answers

    In another example, a school schedule was uploaded and Alexa was asked to add data for football practices to the calendar and propose snacks that could be brought to them.

    7. Explore and stories with Alexa

    The focus of Amazon on children -oriented services extends to Alexa+, which now contains the functions Explore and Stories. In a demo, the assistant was asked to make a story about funny animals. It followed with a story about “Benny the Bearded Dragon”, accompanied by a series of AI-generated artworks.

    How much does Alexa+cost?

    The improved Alexa service costs $ 19.99 per month or are free if you are one Amazon Prime -member. It will officially roll out in the coming weeks and “then in waves in the coming months,” said Amazon.

    Which Amazon Echo devices do Alexa+support?

    Amazon zegt dat Alexa+ beschikbaar zal zijn op alle Echo -apparaten, inclusief de show 8, 10, 15 en 21, met uitzondering van bepaalde oudere generatie Echo -apparaten zoals Echo Dot 1st Gen, Echo 1st Gen, Echo Plus 1st Gen, Echo Tap, Echo Show 1e Gen, Echo Show 2nd Gen, en Echo Spot 1st Gen, waar je kunt blijven gebruiken de oorspronkelijke Alexa.

    Also: not all ultrasy devices initially get Alexa+ – see if yours made the list

    According to the press release: “You can also try Alexa+ in your web browser, the Alexa app, compatible fire TVs and brand tablets. This experience is currently not supported on Alexa built-in devices and Amazon Astro, but we look forward to expanding Alexa+ to extra devices in the future.”

    4,000 year old Stonehenge-like circle discovered in Denmark: ScienceAealert

    Danish archaeologists have discovered a 4,000-year-old circle of wooden posts that they say can be linked to the world-famous Stonehenge in Great Britain.

    The 45 wooden pieces of the Neolithic era, in a circle with a diameter of approximately 30 meters (100 feet), were found during work in a residential area in the north -western city of Aars. The piles are about two meters apart.


    “It is once in your life,” said Sidssel Wahlin, conservationist in the Vesthimmerland Museum of the city, in an e -mail at AFP.

    The circle “points to a strong bond with the British Henge world,” she added.


    The two circles of stones in Stonehenge in South England are assumed between 3100 BC. And 1600 BC to have been built.

    The Danish archaeologists are now trying to find whether there is an inner circle on the Aars site.


    Wahlin said that some wooden circles, considered part of the sun worship, were found on the Danish island of Bornholm.


    She added that the circle was in ass “the first of this larger type that we can investigate”.


    Archaeologists found an early Bronze Age for the first time (1700-1500 BC) settlement on the construction site with a chieftains grave and a bronze sword, Wahlin said.


    “When I and my colleague opened a new part of the excavation, the expected house and what fence soon turned out to be the entrance of a very well -planned, somewhat oval structure,” she added.

    The wooden circle is estimated on the date of approximately 2000 BC, but Wahlin said that the team had started detailed work on Monday to definitively identify its age and position.


    The archaeologists are now looking for “ritual deposits” such as Flint Arrowheads and daygers as part of an important sample exercise on the site.


    Wahlin said the following searches would try to find whether there were connections between the region and other peoples, such as those who built Stonehenge. She said that the influence of other regions could be seen in the pottery and the graves that had been found.

    Gervonta Davis blames the shock of hair product and missing ring girls | Gervonta Davis

    There was a lot of debt to go around in the early hours of Sunday morning after the controversial majority that Gervonta Davis almost cost his World Boxing Association Lightweight Championship and undefeated record.

    Not long after the three-division champion from Baltimore survived 12 hairy rounds with Lamont Roach JR to keep his title closely, Davis blamed the so-called knockdown who should have waved the fight to his opponent with a cosmetic failure. He blamed for losing his loming of which round it was on the absence of ring girls. Above all, he blamed for the flatest performance of a 13-year-old professional career.

    “That was on me,” Davis admitted, when he finally arrived at 2.36 hours to ask questions from a room with written-eye reporters. “I don’t pick it up if I had to pick it up. I could certainly have done more. That’s my fault. “

    The result – a stalemate that some people considered a reasonable result and others considered a robbery – did not go well with both fighter. Davis, whose 93.3% knock -out percentage that came in on Saturday, was the highest of every current world champion, was left frustrated by a fight in which Roach refused to wilt.

    “Nobody likes a draw,” said Davis Plat. “A man who gets knockouts and things like that, but it’s cool. I feel that if we fight again, I could do more – and I should have done more. “

    Roach, a 9-1 underdog that made his lightweight debut, was even less satisfied.

    “I thought I won,” Roach said about it. “I thought I did enough to win the victory over a spectacular hunter. I told you from the start, man, that I got the skills to pay the bastards. And I’m just happy to show it. “

    For Roach, the fight was an opportunity to prove itself at the greatest stage of his career. He knew what he was against and refused to withdraw.

    “People talked like I would be intimidated,” said Roach. “But I was ready to boogie. I knew I had a chin. I spar boys who are junior middle weights, middle weights, current champions. I knew I could take a blow. “

    And Davis, one of the most dreaded punchers of sport with concussion in both hands, landed enough. Roach made some of Davis’s best shots and stayed upright, something that few opponents can claim.

    “He got a considerable power,” Roach acknowledged. “I’m not going to say it’s exaggerated. I told you, I have a chin – I’m not going that way. But I see why he beats people. Once I had his best chance, I had something like: “Oh yes, it’s time to roll.” ‘

    Davis, on the other hand, was surprised by Roach’s sustainability.

    “He caught me with a good shot,” Davis admitted. “But there were times when I thought,” Damn, this guy is super slow. ” Well, not super slow, but I could have benefited from those moments.

    The most controversial moment of the night came in the ninth round when Davis took a knee immediately after absorbing a left puncture to the head. Roach and many observers thought it should have been ruled a knockdown.

    “I’m not the ref,” said Roach. “But the rules do state whether he voluntarily takes a knee, that is an automatic count. However, I did not trust that. I thought I was winning anyway. But if they counted it, I would have won a majority decision. “

    Davis claimed that his vision was affected because of the chemicals in his freshly braided hair. His co-trainer, Barry Hunter, described the substance as “Ho Juice”.

    “I walked water over it today, but I shouldn’t have done enough,” said Davis. “My eyes were burning. I didn’t want to be caught while my eyes are burning – you can be eliminated like this. So I took the knee. I don’t really know you can get the count for that. “

    Davis’s was also almost done by another critical mistake: he lost sight of the rounds.

    “He thought it was round eight when it was round 12,” Hunter revealed. “He thought he still had time to pick it up, but there was no time left. We needed three rounds. I shouted: “I need three, I need two” and he got it, but he forgot where he was. ‘

    Davis attributed the decline of consciousness to the absence of Ringmeisjes, the women who enter the ropes during breaks in the action that carries signs that display the number of the next round. He also hinted at a unrest behind the scenes that endangered his preparations: “I don’t want to spend it, but I have to work for myself for myself.”

    For Roach this was a coming party. For Davis it was a wake-up call.

    “I could have stopped,” said Davis. “It’s on me. I let it go to the jury members, and you can’t do that in boxing. I have to go back to the gym. It just put fuel in the fire. But it’s cool, it’s cool. The draw is ok. You live and you learn. “

    While Davis was disgusting to give Roach the honor because he pushed him to the edge, Hunter took a more grand approach, pointing to the fame between the hunters from their shared history in the amateur ranks.

    “Lamont is a very skilled hunter,” said Hunter. “He comes from the area. In that through that area there is a lot of talent and no one wants to lose. So I knew it would be a hard fight. This is going on forever. We all help each other. They know our strengths, they know our secrets. We know theirs and vice versa. That is what caused a good fight. I thought it was a great, tough fight and I would like to see it run again. “

    He is not alone there. Davis also said he plans to be a rematch, albeit not immediately. But as far as Roach is concerned, the sooner the better.

    “I can’t wait to do it again,” he said. “I can’t wait to dance again.”

    Side-Hustle Reviews: Surveys, Mystery Shopping and other performances to try

    • Steph Thompson doubles on the side who helped her earn money while studying.
    • She has completed surveys, checked stores as a mysterious shopper and sold digital products.
    • She discussed her favorite performances she tried with Business Insider.

    Many people are stuck in rigid 9-to-5 jobs. Others crave a more flexible schedule and continue to freelance work. Steph Thompson, 31, prefers to have a mix of side.

    Thompson, who lives in Australia, said that Side Gigs enabled her to maintain herself while working on a one -year academic program.

    “When I had a more free week, I could spend more time on it and when I had no free time, it didn’t matter, the silk hustles would always wait for me,” she said.

    She earned more than $ 5000 between January 2024 and last January from various side recordings, such as completing surveys, participation in content generated by users, references and selling digital products. Thompson completed her program in November, and now she is doubling on Side Hustles. Many people work on a side performance while they have a full -time job, and some side hustlers stay at home parents who want to earn some money. Some have given up their work to concentrate on the income of the side.

    Thompson encourages people to find a side performance that corresponds to their interests and planning.

    “There will be something for most people,” she said. “Maybe you should hunt it a bit, but you will find something that suits your personality, fits your brain, fits your time.”

    Below are some of the performances that Thompson tried and why they might be fun for others.

    Testing and assessing products and services

    Usertesting, a platform that says that people can earn money in their spare time by testing and giving feedback on products and services, is one of Thompson’s favorite side. She earned more than $ 400 on the platform in the past year.

    Some assignments may mean that she gives feedback about the camera or via a microphone, while other surveys are where that is not necessary.

    Karan Mavai, vice-president of product management at Usertesting, said that “think-uploud tests” are the most popular on the platform. “Contribators speak their thoughts out loud while navigating through a digital experience, prototype or application,” said Mavai, adding that the customer is looking for that feedback and then receives a recorded session of screen interactions and verbal feedback.

    “I like to be on video, and I love chatting with people, so it really fits my personality,” said Thompson about useresting and Market Research Side Hustles.

    She also likes user interviews, another platform where you can give your opinion. There are different ways to earn through the platform, including online surveys, focus groups and multi -day studies. Some studies require a webcam to participate, while others can talk on the phone.

    “If you like to give your opinion about things, this is the side that makes you busy,” said Thompson.

    She said the wage can be lucrative; The platform says that the average wage is more than $ 50 and paid through gift vouchers. Thompson has earned some money with references to user interviews and participation in studies. Her income varied from $ 10 for a study of 15 minutes to $ 50 for a longer study. She has discovered that opportunities can happen during office hours, so she said it might be a good performance for someone who can fit into participation during the day.

    Mystery shopping

    Thompson said that mystery shopping is a simple side performance to try, because you could find opportunities via an app and then start an assignment quickly. She has earned 6 Australian dollars, or about $ 4, for one mission and Aud $ 8 for another. The missions include taking photos of the chocolate and candy areas of two different stores to record how they were displayed.

    Thompson thinks this performance is ideal if you often go shopping. “They are a great little add-on for your day where it doesn’t really have to take you too far to earn a few extra dollars,” she said.

    Digital products

    Thompson has also earned money by selling a meal planning template and a budget spreadsheet, both digital products. More than seven months she earned around Aud $ 1,418 of all her digital products.

    “They are things I made for myself and eventually went:” Oh, other people may want this, “she said.

    E -books, budget trackers, printable planners and art can be sold as digital products. Thompson thinks you don’t need a large audience to get started selling digital products.

    “If you go with where your interests are, you will tend to make better products, I think, because it actually comes from real interest,” she said.

    Surveys

    Thompson said that although surveys can be a good option for the side, she finds them boring. Although surveys are not her favorite side performance, she does like two platforms in particular: productive and Australian platform Octopus Group.

    “If you keep an eye on those who pay better, that is usually a good use of your time,” said Thompson about survey platforms in general.

    The Prolific site says that the minimum payment is at least $ 8 per hour per task, but productively told BI pay more than that. Prolific said that studies are usually between five minutes to half an hour.

    Thompson thinks that survey sites would be ideal for someone who hopes to earn a little extra money or does not have much time to put aside.

    “It is definitely not the most lucrative side busy, but at the same time, if you are the type of person who can sit on your phone and watch TV and scroll, you’ll be fine,” she said.

    Delivery

    Although some people like to earn some extra money with jobs, this can also mean that it is invested in part of your money in it. Thompson said that with a performance on the delivery side you will probably absorb more costs than other side-hustele options, because you have to take into account the gas prices, car maintenance and other costs.

    Delivery of food is an option, such as Uber Eats. Thompson thinks that Uber Eats can be a nice option if you like to drive. She said it can be a Zijhustle that can be easy to get started when you pass on the background control, but she doesn’t think it’s such a good option as before.

    “I didn’t do much in the past year or two, because the wage rate is certainly not worth making the time and effort if there are other options available,” she said.
