Ford CEO Found Young People Didn't Want to Work There Because $17 Wages Left Them 'So Stressed' - Then He Made An Expensive Change 'The Country Needs'
Turns out, a $17-an-hour paycheck doesn't go as far as it used to—especially if you're young, exhausted, and juggling two jobs just to survive. Ford (NYSE:F) CEO Jim Farley heard this loud and clear from his own factory floors. And instead of shrugging it off or blaming "kids these days," he made a move that echoed the bold playbook of Henry Ford himself—one that he says America desperately needs more of. In a June interview at the Aspen Ideas Festival with Walter Isaacson—the renowned biographer best known for his books on Steve Jobs, Leonardo da Vinci, and Elon Musk—Farley peeled back the curtain on what younger workers were really telling him about life on a $17 wage. Don't Miss: 7,000+ investors have joined Timeplast's mission to eliminate microplastics—now it's your turn to $100k+ in investable assets? – no cost, no obligation. "The older workers who'd been at the company said, 'None of the young people want to work here. Jim, you pay $17 an hour, and they are so stressed,'" Farley recalled. "They've got to work at Amazon for eight hours, then they come over to Ford for seven hours, and then they sleep for three or four hours—and then they go back. And they're barely getting by." Rather than issue a tone-deaf memo or wait for another generation to settle for less, Farley made a decisive, expensive change: he converted every temporary worker into a full-time employee. "It wasn't easy to do," he admitted. "It was expensive. But I think that's the kind of changes we need to make in our country." Farley's move isn't just about better paychecks—it's about reviving an old-school idea that once turned Ford into a powerhouse: when you pay workers well, they can afford the products they help build. Trending: 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. You can Quoting the legendary Henry Ford, Farley said, "'I'm doing this because I want my factory worker to buy my cars. If they make enough money, they'll buy my own product.'" Then he added, "It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, in a way." In 1914, Henry Ford famously raised factory wages to $5 a day—nearly double the going rate. It wasn't a random act of generosity. It was a smart bet that higher wages would lead to a more stable, productive workforce and—bonus—more people who could afford to drive off in a Model T. According to Farley, it worked then, and it can work now. He also pointed to deeper structural issues. For Farley, the wage issue is just one layer of a bigger challenge: the U.S. hasn't kept up in preparing young people for careers in skilled trades. "Our governments have to get really serious about investing in trade schools and skilled trades," Farley said. "You go to Germany—every one of our factory workers has an apprentice starting in junior high school. Every one of those jobs has a person behind it for eight years that is trained."Farley's big bet may not please Wall Street, but it's not aimed at them. "We decided as a company that a cooler problem than full autonomy in an urban setting was high-speed, eyes-off driving on highways—push a button, read a book," he told Isaacson, in reference to how Ford picks its battles. When it comes to labor, he's taking that same eyes-on-the-road approach—focusing on people, not just profits. And while turning temps into full-timers might not boost short-term stock prices, Farley's betting on a longer game: one where the people building America's cars can actually afford to drive them.

Amazon Deals of the Day: The High-End Apple Watch Ultra 2 Is Back to Its Prime Day Price
Amazon sells a vast array of products, with new ones arriving daily across many categories, including home essentials, tech and furniture. Lucky for us, the retail giant loves cutting prices as much as it loves adding new products. However, deciding which offers are worth grabbing (and which aren't) is a full-time job, but we've done the heavy lifting, hand-picking the top markdowns from the bunch. Today, the fan-favorite Apple Watch Ultra 2's price just dropped back to $650. We also found the Nespresso Vertuo Pop Plus espresso machine and our favorite Logitech mouse reduced to their record-low prices. For those who live a pretty active lifestyle and want their wearable to keep up, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is a top-choice smartwatch. It has a gorgeous, clear display that's easy to read, even in direct sunlight, and the longest-lasting battery of any Apple Watch, so it won't require constant charging. Low power mode will make it last even longer. Like all Apple Watches, the Ultra 2 supports the same health and fitness features that have made the smartwatches so popular. You can track workouts, including heart rate zones and training load, among other metrics. But like all nice things, this fancy smartwatch is pretty pricey, with a sticker price of $799. But this limited-time deal has reduced the price to $650. It's still steep, but a nice $149 savings (the same seen during Prime Day) makes a difference. Act fast because quantities are limited. Many need a caffeine fix to get their day started -- that's where Nespresso comes in. Nespresso has made a name for itself in the espresso machine game, and the Vertuo Pop Plus is a great choice. The machine has five brewing options, including a quick espresso and a full 12-ounce coffee. And the cold brew feature is a standout function, providing true beverage versatility. The Vertuo Pop Plus is simple to use, a consistent feature in Nespresso machines. Simply pop in a capsule and press the button. The machine reads the unique barcode on each pod to adjust settings (temperature, brew time and pressure) for the perfect cup every time. Best of all, the machine's compact design works great for smaller spaces, like apartments or dorm rooms. The Vertuo Pop Plus is normally $130, but right now, you can get most colors for $89, a record low. The only color option that isn't included is the limited-edition pistachio color, which is discounted to $110. Logitech's MX Master 3S mouse is one of our favorite wireless mice on the market. The mouse has an upgraded 8,000 DPI optical sensor that works on any surface, including glass. It's also made with seven buttons and two scroll wheels, making the device a control hub. The MX Master 3S also supports up to three Bluetooth connections, so you can easily switch between devices. The mouse has a long battery life, but you can also use it corded while charging if needed. This mouse isn't exactly cheap, as it normally sells for $120. But right now, you can score over 30% off, for a record-low price of $80. Just know, this price is only for the white color option. The black color is $20 more at $100. With so many deals on Amazon, deciding which ones are worth your money can be difficult. But CNET has combed through what the world's largest online retailer has to offer, and we've gathered the best deals for you to check out.
