A study shows that the average worker in the U.S. who stayed in their job between 2021 and 2024 saw their wages decline by 9% after inflation. It also found that this real wage decline — rather than inflation itself — is at the root of poor consumer sentiment. UCLA Labor Center Policy Director Tia Koonse explains that if salaries go up, but grocery prices go up more, a person’s real wage has gone down.

If you’re just starting out with balance training, a routine of basic static and dynamic exercises is a great way to go, says Kimberly Burbank, a sports medicine physician at UCLA Health. The exercises are deceptively simple and easy to master. They require only a minute each — an entire routine is just five minutes a day.

The answer: everywhere. And starting this fall, that includes UCLA’s School of Theater, Film and Television, where she will begin a five-year relationship with the school as TFT’s artist-in-residence this fall. Titled “Know Yourself, Own Yourself, Free Yourself to Build New Frameworks for Change,” the residency, curated by dean Celine Parreñas Shimizu, will bring Palmer to campus each quarter for workshops on pitching, distribution and building a sustainable career. A partnership between the school and Palmer’s KeyTV network also creates an opportunity for students to distribute at least three TFT projects a year.
Palmer is a true multihyphenate — an Emmy Award-winning actor and television host, recording artist, producer, New York Times bestselling author and media entrepreneur. She currently stars as attorney Samira Fisher on Peacock’s “The ‘Burbs,” hosts her own podcast, “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer,” and has “Spaceballs: The New One” (2027) on deck this spring, in which she plays royal advisor Destiny. Not bad for the kid who broke our hearts as Akeelah in “Akeelah and the Bee.” And great for the kids at TFT.
