80% Plunge In Immigration Is Reshaping Labor Market Math, But AI Wildcard Looms: Goldman
The Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration has resulted in an 80% collapse in net immigration to the USA, and has fundamentally altered the mathematics behind the nation's labor supply to the point where the level of job growth needed to maintain economic stability is now far lower, according to a new Goldman analysis.
After a flood of more than 10.8 million illegal immigrants (official figure) entered the United States under Biden, net immigration - both legal and illegal - has gone from roughly one million people per year in the 2010s to around 500,000 in 2025, with a further drop to just 200,000 projected by Goldman for 2026. This has sharply reduced labor-force growth and lowered the economy's "breakeven" pace of job creation, the bank opines.
Here's Goldman vs. Brookings vs. the Congressional Budget Office on net immigration:
Now, the US will only need around 50,...

Japan's Top Toilet Maker Is 'Undervalued, Overlooked' AI Play Over 'Cryogenic Etching' Technology, Activist Investor Says
Japan's top toilet maker, Toto, is an undervalued AI play according to activist investment fund Palliser Capital.

The UK-based fund sent a letter to Toto's board asking for more disclosure over its advanced ceramics segment, which produces electrostatic chucks used in NAND manufacturing - specifically for a process called cryogenic etching. Toto's chuck technology uses ceramics designed to remain stable at very low temperatures, which can help firmly secure silicon wafers during chip production.
According to Palliser, Toto is "the most undervalued and overlooked AI memory beneficiary," and says that the Japanese company has a five-year competitiv...
