<p>While many U.S. malls face anchor store closures and empty parking lots, some are finding new life by becoming housing. Real estate developers are building housing inside of or next to shopping malls as department stores like Macy’s, JCPenney and Sears shrink or cease to exist. At least 192 U.S. malls planned to add housing to their footprint as of January 2022. Dozens of apartment projects at malls are underway in California, Colorado, Florida, Arizona and Texas. The trend not only helps to chip away the housing shortage in the U.S., but also brings people closer to the remaining retail and restaurant spaces in shopping centers. CNBC visited a Macerich housing project at Flatiron Crossing Mall in Broomfield, Colorado as well as the Arcade Mall in Providence, Rhode Island to find out what it is like to live inside a mall.</p>

<p>Between 1979 and 2024, productivity in the U.S. soared by 80.9%, while hourly pay grew by just 29.4%, according to research by the Economic Policy Institute.<br />
This trend has often been referred to as wage stagnation. But more recently, some economists have suggested that deliberate policy decisions have actively suppressed workers’ wage growth.<br />

<p>CNBC examines China’s rapidly growing automotive industry, focusing on its technological advancements, increasing exports, and a lack of interest in American car brands.</p>
<p>BYD, backed by Warren Buffett and recognized as China’s leading car brand, overtook Tesla in Q4 2023 as the world’s top electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, selling more battery-powered vehicles than its U.S. rival. The company is aggressively expanding globally, exporting over 240,000 cars to 70 countries last year. During Tesla&#8217;s Q4 earnings call, Elon Musk warned that Chinese automakers could &quot;demolish most other car companies in the world&quot; unless regulators intervene.</p>
<p>Detroit automakers like General Motors reaped huge profits selling cars to Chinese consumers after China opened its auto market to foreign firms in the 1980s. However, those lucrative days appear to be over. Chinese firms have caught up with, and in some cases surpassed, the foreign companies that once taught them the automotive trade&#8230;</p>
