New program teaches students to become electricians
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Midwest Technical Institute held a grand opening for its new program, aimed at teaching those who want to become electricians. 'I went and joined the program. I've been having a blast ever since I joined,' Student Austin Massey said. Massey is just one of several students taking part in the course. 'This is my first introduction to electrical in general, residential, commercial, all that,' Massey said. For him, it's been a neat experience. 'It's really cool to learn all the intricate stuff about electrical and why stuff works and why buildings are powered and everything and all that fun stuff,' Massey added. Program Director/Instructor Shelby Obermann says they keep students busy by teaching them from their code book or with hands-on training. 'Today, the students are working on grounding and bonding,' Obermann said. 'They're essentially just kind of going over everything that we've learned about these past couple of weeks.' The program helps by turning students into apprentices, just one step in the journey, and helping address a workforce shortage of electricians nationwide. 'It's a seven month program, just gives you an entry level position to be able to go out there as an apprentice and apply the skills and stuff like that that you're learning here, both code book and hands-on, because I am 100% implementing more hands-on than just bookwork,' Obermann said. That shortage is something Brian Turmail, with the Association of General Contractors of America, says the industry desperately needs to address. '[Based on our survey] in Missouri alone, two-thirds of contractors say they're having a hard time finding enough electricians to hire to keep pace with demand,' Turmail said. Turmail says one of the reasons for the shortage is that a lot of students are pursuing four-year degrees, rather than going through trade schools. 'The shortest answer is mothers don't want their babies to grow up to be construction workers in this country,' Turmail said. 'We're encouraged by what we see in programs like [MTI's].'

Where did 100,000 registered vehicles go in Shelby County?
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Here's a shocking statistic for you: There are 100,000 fewer registered vehicles on the roads in Shelby County this year than there were last year, according to Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris. 'Right now there are just under 600K vehicles in Shelby County, which is about a 100k drop from 12 months ago, and we need to make up that revenue this budget cycle,' Mayor Harris said in a recent budget presentation. That's a 17% drop in one year, and it's causing the county to lose millions in revenue. The question is, why? Harris proposed a $5 increase in county car registration fees to make up the difference, but couldn't explain where the vehicles went. 'This $5 increase will allow us to manage the unexpected drop in revenue we have seen, and the sudden and inexplicable reduction in the number of vehicles that are now registered in Shelby County,' Harris said. Mayor proposes tax cut in new Shelby County budget We have reached out to Shelby County Commissioners on their thoughts and are currently waiting to hear back, but state Rep. Mark White sees the drop off in car registration as a big problem. 'Something is missing there that is going unregistered, and that's causing the city of Memphis and Shelby County millions of dollars in lost revenue,' said White (R-Memphis). 'It's critical and we will have to find a solution to this.' White sees Shelby County Clerk Wanda Halbert as the problem. Many, including White, have tried to oust Halbert from her position. In January, the city failed to collect $7 million in additional driver registration fees, which created a shortfall in the city budget. White says he hopes voters come to the polls to make change in the midterms. Rep. Justin Pearson, NAACP aim to halt xAI project in Memphis 'I keep hoping that they bring in the right management, but that's an elected position,' White said. 'We've taken this all the way to the courts and the courts have dismissed it. … Now the citizens of Memphis are going to have to vote, and make sure you know who you are voting for to put the proper person in an office to run that.' WREG has requested an interview with Halbert, and we are currently working on scheduling that. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Americans just wiped out $48B in credit card debt: Here's how
HONOLULU (KHON2) — In early 2025, Americans made significant progress in reducing their credit card debt. According to a new report, during the first quarter of 2025, consumers in the United States paid off approximately $48 billion in credit card debt. This brought the total national credit card debt down to about $1.29 trillion, which is $206 billion below the all-time high recorded in 2007. The average credit card debt per household stood at $10,767 at the end of Q1 2025. This figure is $2,156 less than the record set in 2007, indicating that households are managing their credit card balances more effectively. Several factors contributed to this decrease:Higher interest rates: Credit card interest rates exceeded 20% annually, making borrowing more expensive. This likely encouraged consumers to pay down their balances to avoid high finance charges. Increased consumer awareness: There has been a growing awareness about the importance of managing personal finances, leading more people to budget carefully and reduce unnecessary spending. Economic factors: Changes in the economy, such as inflation and shifts in employment, may have prompted consumers to be more cautious with their credit card usage. It's important to note that while the overall debt decreased, the charge-off rate — which represents debts that credit card companies consider unlikely to be repaid — increased by 4.24% during Q1 2025 and reached 4.67%. You can click here to read the full report. The early part of 2025 saw Americans taking meaningful steps to reduce their credit card debt, and this was influenced by higher interest rates and a heightened focus on financial health. Get news on the go with KHON 2GO, KHON's morning podcast, every morning at 8 However, the rise in charge-off rates suggests that some consumers still face challenges in managing their debt.
