BBVA Research publishes its first quarter U.S. Economic Outlook

HOUSTON, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The BBVA Research team has published its Economic Outlook for first quarter 2021, noting that a post-holiday surge in COVID-19 cases and a vaccine rollout that is falling short of expectations have confirmed the need for further stimulus.

<div…

The report, published by the BBVA Research team headed by BBVA Chief Economist Nathaniel Karp, continues to highlight the ongoing economic impact of the pandemic, as well as the recent election. According to its authors, the mining and leisure & hospitality industries continue to struggle harder to recover compared to other industries. While the transportation industry remains acutely impacted, higher oil prices are supporting the oil and gas industry.

Residential real estate has been supported by low interest rates and low supply according to the report, but commercial real estate trends continue to be exacerbated by the pandemic. Consumer consumption is also losing steam due to COVID-19.

The greatest source of potential economic shocks over the next 12-18 months remains political uncertainty and corporate defaults, generating both short- and long-term uncertainties. The political turmoil also adds to upward pressures on long-term rates, according to the report.

The report further notes that labor force participation and unemployment rates continue to be negatively impacted, with Black and Hispanic Americans disproportionately impacted. Women in the workforce also remain hard-hit by the impact of the pandemic, according to the economic outlook.

The BBVA Research publication further delves into the new fiscal stimulus package proposed by the Biden Administration, the economic impact of additional components of its agenda, and inflation.

BBVA USA’s research team analyzes the U.S. economy and Federal Reserve monetary policy. For its analyses, the economists create models and forecasts for growth, inflation, monetary policy and industries.

Hoffa: Union Praises Biden Order Restoring Federal Workers’ Union Rights

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The following is a statement from Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa on the issuance of an executive order by President Biden that rescinds Trump administration directives which curtailed the collective bargaining, due process and workplace representation rights for federal workers, while also putting forward a plan to raise the minimum wage for federal government workers and contractors to $15…

«The Teamsters are pleased to see President Biden taking quick action to roll back anti-worker initiatives put forward by the former president so that some 2 million federal workers can regain the legal rights granted to them by Congress.

«This executive order means these workers can have confidence as they go about their job that President Biden has their back and will work with labor unions to provide the nation with the efficient and properly functioning government its citizens deserve. Politics will not play a role in career civil service employment; rather, the quality of their work will.

«Additionally, the order calls for the drafting of recommendations to boost the minimum wage for federal workers and contractors to $15 an hour, a necessary step for thousands who earn less than that and struggle to support their families. Hardworking Americans who serve the nation as part of their job should not have to worry about making ends meet.»

A new ranking by MIT Technology Review Insights highlights the countries making the fastest progress to a low-carbon future

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Green Future Index, a new study by MIT Technology Review Insights in association with

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Green Future Index, a new study by MIT Technology Review Insights in association with Citrix, Morgan Stanley, and Salesforce ranks 76 countries and territories on the progress and commitment they are making toward a green future by reducing carbon emissions, developing clean energy, and innovating in green sectors, as well as the degree to which governments are implementing effective climate policies.

The interactive index shows which countries are progressing fastest in global efforts to decarbonize and limit global heating in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.

The key findings are as follows:

Europe will be a future green leader. Europe dominates the top of the index, with 15 European nations in the top 20. Many countries across the region have already made progress with curbing emissions, transitioning energy production to renewable sources, and investing in green mobility. Since covid, the EU has committed more than €200 billion in bold green economy investments, accelerating decarbonization even in the most fossil-fuel dependent states.

Iceland, Denmark, and Norway top the index. Iceland, in first place, aims to be carbon neutral by 2040. The country has become a world leader in clean energy and carbon capture technology. Denmark (2^nd) is the largest producer of hydrocarbons in Europe to stop issuing new oil and gas exploration licenses. Norway (3^rd) is also striving to decouple its economy from fossil fuels.

Costa Rica and New Zealand secure top 10 positions. Costa Rica, ranked 7^th, and New Zealand, ranked 8^th, have made major strides with renewables and have world-leading agendas for decarbonization across industry and agriculture. Canada (14^th), Singapore (16^th), and Uruguay (20^th), the other non-Europeans in the top 20, have strategies for decarbonization, transitioning energy sources, and government-led initiatives to promote green living, such as Singapore’s Zero Waste Masterplan, which aims to reduce landfill waste by 30% between now and 2030.

There is uneven progress across the world’s largest economies. The United States (40^th) has reduced emissions over recent years and is responsible for nearly one-fifth of the world’s green patents. Yet it is emerging from four years of climate denial and remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels and unsustainable farming practices. China (45^th) is responsible for more than one-quarter of global emissions but has pledged to become carbon neutral by 2060 and is the world’s fastest growing producer of renewable energy. France (5^th), Germany (11^th), and Canada (14^th) are the highest ranked countries in the G20.

The countries at the bottom of the index risk losing competitiveness in the green economy. The laggards include South Africa (47^th), Vietnam (49^th), and Indonesia (57^th), where economic pressures run counter to sustainable development. Japan (60^th) has a goal to be carbon neutral by 2050, although government targets for renewable energy remain modest. The 16 «abstainer» countries at the bottom include petrostates such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Qatar, and Russia. The latter’s Energy Strategy 2035 for expanding oil and gas production identified the trend toward carbon neutrality as an existential threat.

«With hundreds of billions of dollars being injected into economies worldwide, covid-19 has created huge momentum for developing green industries and financing infrastructure that will be clean, technologically advanced, and climate resilient,» says Nico Crepaldi, head of custom content, MIT Technology Review. «In the future, we’re likely to see ‘green’ being synonymous with economic competitiveness.»

Inaugural Report from Center for the Study of HBCUs: Biden/Harris Education Agenda Must Support Funding Equity for HBCUs

RICHMOND, Va., Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, the Center for the Study of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) at Virginia Union University released, «A Pledge of Allegiance to Historically Black Colleges and Universities: Key Priorities of the Biden/Harris Administration.» The first of its kind, this new report is designed to synthesize the new administration’s education priorities that will most directly impact HBCUs, and provide a vehicle for…

«Historically Black Colleges and Universities play a critical role in evolving a diverse society. Research shows that HBCUs graduate more black professionals than primarily white institutions» said Dr. Hakim Lucas, President and CEO of Virginia Union University. «There are many promising proposals in the new administration’s agenda—but, there’s a long history of broken promises and inequitable treatment when it comes to HBCUs.»

Revealing the reality that HBCUs receive less than 1% of federal funding, the report identifies and addresses several policy gaps that President Biden aims to correct that could most immediately address inequities in funding for HBCUs. They are:

Increasing the maximum award for federal Pell grants, nearly doubling its current value;
Creating «Title I» for postsecondary education, similar to what’s available for K-12 schools/districts;
Strengthening research capability at HBCUs through centers and grants;
Building infrastructure for updated facilities, labs, and services;
Reducing, if not eliminating, educational debt and expanding graduate degree programs; and,
Promoting student success through Title III and Title V commitments

The Center is committed to ensuring the sustainability of HBCUs in the United States. It uses research and programming to regularly assess the federal government’s progress toward delivering on the promises made to Black colleges.

«These 101 national treasures punch above their weight, in terms of providing access to first-generation, low-income, and vulnerable populations, as well as cultural advancement, economic development, and student success,» said Dr. Terrell Strayhorn, Provost & Senior Vice President, Academic Affairs at Virginia Union University and director of the center. «HBCUs are powerful economic and cultural engines in American society, and the center’s research focus was designed to ensure their sustainability.»

Important New Nonprofit, MVP (Momentum & Value for People of Color), Launches to Enhance the Lives of Young People of Color

NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — MVP (Momentum & Value for People of Color), a new nonprofit, announces the organization’s official launch. MVP was founded to create a movement that helps young Black, Asian and Hispanic individuals develop leadership skills to generate life changing internship and employment opportunities. Our mission is to create equity and take action to ensure that young people of color have access to strategic connections and…

«In today’s environment, we at MVP realize the importance of bringing to light the immense inequities among young People of Color. The value this population brings to society cannot be overstated, yet they lack access to the right opportunities and support systems,» said Christine Sakdalan, Co-Founder and CEO of MVP. «That’s why it’s critical for us to use our network of resources, both human connections and capital, to close the gap on these disparities. We are so fortunate to have the backing of our dedicated partners and network of leaders who are committing their time and talents to make this a reality.»

MVP will launch with a set of programs designed to match and connect internships, mentorships, strategic networking, and writing support to those in need. MVP will work with the organization’s vast network of executives and leaders to uncover professional opportunities and provide mentoring and practical help to young people of color. MVP beneficiaries will receive personal development for two years, focused on leadership and soft skills to ensure career progression and financial wellness.

Minority racial groups are more likely to experience multidimensional poverty than their White counterparts:

In the United States, 18.8 percent of Black American and 15.7 percent of Latino Americans are living in poverty, compared to the 10.5% national poverty rate (2019 US Census).
Asian Americans have a 12.3 percent poverty rate, with the greatest income inequality among major racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. (2018 Pew Research Center Social and Demographic Trends).

Low socioeconomic status, lower educational achievement, poverty and poor health disproportionately impact this segment of our society.

MVP aims to champion, catalyze and create change for young people of color, by being a vehicle for opportunities, a gateway for success, and an inspiration to pay it forward.

MADISON, Wis., Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — There was a time when cervical cancer was a leading cause of cancer death in the United States, until the Pap test revolutionized detection. Thankfully, since the 1960s, the death rate for cervical cancer has dropped more than 70%. It is in the spirit of that test that Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin urges women not to put off testing or Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccinations.

…

While January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, anytime is a good time to be screened. Even during the pandemic, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin’s doors are open to provide cervical cancer testing, colposcopy services and HPV vaccines to anyone, regardless of health insurance coverage or ability to pay.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that 210 Wisconsinites will be diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer in 2021 and more than 14,000 new cases will be diagnosed nationwide. Far more women will be diagnosed with pre-cancer or early-stage cases. Hispanic women in Wisconsin are two times more likely than non-Hispanic women to be diagnosed with cervical cancer, and the rate of cervical cancer is 80% higher among Black women than white women.

«Don’t let this pandemic keep taking your health,» says Maria Barker, Multicultural Programs Manager for Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin. «The doors of your nearest Planned Parenthood are open to safely deliver the regular screenings and vaccinations that save lives.»

Additionally, Black and Latinx women nationwide are one to two times more likely to die from cervical cancer than white women. Older women are also more likely to develop this type of cancer at a rate of 20% once they turn 65. Women are much less likely to develop an invasive form of cervical cancer if they regularly test, according to the ACS.

There are risk factors that can affect a woman’s likelihood of developing cervical cancer:

HPV: Also linked to penile, anus, mouth and throat cancers
Smoking: Women who smoke are twice as likely to develop cervical cancer than non-smokers
Weakened immune system
Chlamydia
Having many sexual partners
HIV: The virus that causes AIDS or another condition that makes it hard for your body to fight off health problems
Long-term oral contraceptive use: Research suggests the risk goes down after stopping the OC and then returns to normal risk after a period of time
Three or more full-term pregnancies
A full-term pregnancy before the age of 20
A diet low in fruits and vegetables
