A New Wage Measure for Core Non-Housing Services | CEA | The ... (The White House)

Policymakers, economists, and forecasters often track “core” inflation (price growth excluding food and energy) because it tends be a better predictor of ...

Finally, to convert this into a share, this value is divided by the total weekly payrolls across all industries for the payrolls in industry i as a share of total payrolls for NHS output. Therefore, for the latest Establishment Survey month, CEA calculates a preliminary increase in NHS AHE that uses the same methodology, but with employment, output, and weekly wage data aggregated by major industry. Not all 194 industries are included in NHS output, so we use N to denote the subset of j industries included in NHS. a A vector of 2019 average weekly wages by detailed private nonfarm payroll industry, from the BLS Establishment Survey. As you can see, while none were spot on during the pandemic, the version using the NHS AHE measure outperformed measures like ECI, the Atlanta Fed’s Wage Growth Tracker, and the official version of AHE. This result suggests that NHS AHE improves economists’ ability to identify the drivers of NHS inflation. Even measures that do control for compositional effects, like ECI, are broad-based and do not focus on the industries that are the most relevant for wages in the NHS portion of the economy. In the post-pandemic expansion in particular, they grew very quickly, reaching a 7 and 8 percent annual rate in early 2022 for all private sector and PNS workers, respectively. Figure 1 below plots two NHS AHE wage series: one for those in production, non-supervisory (PNS) jobs in the private sector (about 80 percent of the workforce) for whom there is a longer time series, and the other for all private sector workers. And because the weights are fixed to 2019 levels, the index is less sensitive to compositional shifts than unadjusted average measures like AHE. Because the weights are based on NHS labor costs, the index better reflects the dynamics of wages serving as inputs into NHS production than commonly-cited wage measures like AHE and ECI. The last category, NHS inflation, has garnered considerable interest of late.

The best new features in ASP.NET Core 7 (InfoWorld)

The latest version of Microsoft's web application development framework brings excellent new capabilities to middleware, minimal API apps, and more.

You can find the complete list of new features in ASP.NET Core 7 With ASP.NET Core 7, you can take advantage of dependency injection to bind parameters in the action methods of your API controllers. The following code snippet illustrates how IFormFile can be used. ); var result = await next(endpointFilterInvocationContext); return result; }) .AddEndpointFilter(async (endpointFilterInvocationContext, next) => { app.Logger.LogInformation("This is the 3rd Filter." So, if the type is configured as a service, you no longer need to add the [FromServices] attribute to your method parameters. ); var result = await next(endpointFilterInvocationContext); return result; }) .AddEndpointFilter(async (endpointFilterInvocationContext, next) => { app.Logger.LogInformation("This is the 2nd filter." The Microsoft.AspNetCore.RateLimiting middleware in ASP.NET Core 7 can help you enforce rate limiting in your application. In response to an HTTP request that matches the Content-Encoding header value, the middleware encapsulates the HttpRequest.Body in a suitable decompression stream using the matching provider. This article discusses the biggest highlights in ASP.NET Core 7, and includes some code examples to get you started with the new features. To get started using this built-in middleware, add the Microsoft.AspNetCore.RateLimiting NuGet package to your project by executing the following command at the Visual Studio command prompt. To add the middleware to the request processing pipeline, call the IApplicationBuilder.UseOutputCache extension method. Built on top of the .NET Core runtime, ASP.NET Core 7 has everything you need to build cutting-edge web user interfaces and robust back-end services on Windows, Linux, and macOS alike.

[KDDI’s selection of Samsung](https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-selected-as-a-5g-network-solution-provider-for-kddi-in-japan) as a 5G network solutions provider and 5G [network rollout](https://bit.ly/31j8o3V) on 700MHz. Through ongoing research and development, Samsung drives the industry to advance 5G networks with its market-leading product portfolio from virtualized RAN and Core to private network solutions and AI-powered automation tools. Samsung’s 5G Core will also enable KDDI to optimize network slicing — a feature that requires a full 5G SA Core. In their collaboration, Samsung has been providing its 5G network solutions which support the operator’s low-, mid- and mmWave spectrum bands — including Massive MIMO radios. “We look forward to continuing our collaboration with KDDI to reshape the 5G services landscape in Japan and achieving new 5G milestones.” For geographic redundant deployment, Samsung and KDDI are operating multiple cores in various locations, with each core dimensioned to pick up loads in case one of the active cores becomes unavailable due to traffic bursts or natural disasters.

Samsung Scores KDDI 5G SA Core Contract (SDxCentral)

Japanese telecom giant KDDI scored a deal with Samsung to drive the vendor's cloud-native 5G standalone (SA) core into its network.

[5G network](https://www.sdxcentral.com/5g/definitions/key-elements-5g-network/5g-network-infrastructure/). The field trial generated multiple network slices using Samsung’s [RAN intelligent controller (RIC)](https://www.sdxcentral.com/resources/glossary/near-real-time-ran-intelligent-controller-ric/) running on a live commercial 5G SA network in Tokyo. This was just 10% of the 200 5G non-standalone (NSA) commercial networks deployed worldwide. “In some markets, operators have adopted a ‘wait-and-see’ approach and are looking for evidence of successful use cases before switching from 5G NSA to SA,” the Counterpoint Research tracker stated. A 5G SA core, which consists of the user plane, control plane, and shared data layer network functions, is completely diverged from a legacy 4G LTE core. Counterpoint Research noted that there were 21 5G SA deployments in the Asia-Pacific region; seven in the U.S.; seven in Europe; four in the Middle East and Africa region; and three in the Caribbean and Latin America. “Are there devices there to take advantage of that? Counterpoint Research did note that “Asian vendors Samsung and NEC are mainly focused on their respective domestic markets but are expanding their reach to tier-two operators and emerging markets.” This feature is also enabled by the cloud-native nature of the core, which allows it to be spun up as a function running in different physical locations. The move further bolsters Samsung’s 5G SA presence in the region. This includes Samsung being [cloud-native](https://www.sdxcentral.com/cloud/cloud-native/definitions/what-is-cloud-native-definition/) [5G](https://www.sdxcentral.com/5g/definitions/what-is-5g/) standalone (SA) core into its [network](https://www.sdxcentral.com/resources/glossary/network/).
