The cost of summer camp went up 20% last year, according to the American Camp Association. And there’s more contributing to this jump than simple inflation—there’s a fundamental-laws-of-markets reason. What’s happening in childcare is a demonstration of what’s called Baumol’s cost disease—a phenomenon in which wages for work that must be done by hand continue rising even if the people doing the work haven’t gotten any more productive. Why? New technology can make certain jobs more productive and lucrative, but if you want someone to keep doing the by-hand job, you have to pay them competitively with the jobs the new technology is creating. Which brings us back to summer camp. One job that will have to be done “by hand” for the foreseeable future is supervising 7-year-olds; all the semiconductor technology in the world won’t make that cheaper. That means the price of child care—and other in-person tasks for which there is no technological shortcut—is likely to keep rising faster than other expenses. Our newsletter dives into why this is a problem for individual households and also the broader economy. Read the full article here: wlthfrnt.co/3Qb6dMQ

Trump Accounts are expected to launch July 4 and eligible kids born between 2025–2028 can receive $1,000 in seed funding to help them start building wealth.

Not investing in a well-written newsletter feels like such a missed opportunity for companies. Went down a rabbit hole and Wealthfront’s is interesting, nuanced, and reads like a Substack.
