From Joann Fabrics to Forever 21, more than 8,100 stores closed across the U.S. in 2025, according to retail industry analytics firm Coresight Research. What if you still have an unused gift card from any of these businesses? Warehouse chain Costco recently issued a recall for Synergy restaurant gift cards sold between Oct. 27, 2025, and Jan. 26, 2026. According to FOX Business, the recall is due to Synergy World, a gift and loyalty card company, abruptly shutting down last month after filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection.

If you’re planning to fly somewhere this summer, now’s the time to book your tickets. “We’re right across what we call the Goldilocks Window at Going for when to buy summer flights,” Katy Nastro, a travel expert at airfare deals website Going, told USA TODAY in an email. “The best odds of finding a deal for domestic travel are about 3-7 months out, with 3 months being the latest you’d want to wait.

The U.S. economy shed 92,000 jobs in February, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated March 6, falling far short of forecasters’ expectations, and signaling the overall labor market is still in low-hire mode as employers navigate tariff-related inflation pressures, AI adoption, and geopolitical uncertainty.

Over the past year, economic output has continued to grow as…
Plenty of people love to argue about the politics of the Trump family, but if you want to understand what’s really going on, you have to look at the math. Since the 2024 election, the family has launched or heavily promoted a slew of new financial ventures. The marketing pitches are always massive, promising to revolutionize finance or media.

Walmart is expanding digital shelf labels to all of its U.S. locations within the next year. Instead of paper, hand-replaced price tags on shelves, Walmart stores will soon display digital price tags, controlled through a centralized system, according to a Walmart news release. Changes to prices that may have originally taken multiple days will soon be able to be completed in minutes.

Earlier this year, the labels were installed at about 2,300 more locations. Here’s what to know…
Cases of human metapneumovirus, or HMPV, are hitting certain states, including California and New Jersey. HMPV can cause upper and lower respiratory disease, and currently there is no vaccine to prevent it and no specific antiviral therapy to treat it, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Instead, medical care can be “supportive,” the CDC notes, which often involves treating symptoms. “Most people will recover on their own,” the agency notes, but adds people who get sick should drink plenty of liquids, stay home and rest. The Cleveland Clinic says treatments for the virus can include oxygen therapy…

In fact, a 2025 survey found that over half of respondents said they didn’t know the best time to start taking Social Security benefits, and roughly the same number were uncertain when they would reach their full retirement age.
