This Weekly LinkedIn newsletter from Jason Schenker includes original research from The Futurist Institute and Prestige Economics to help leaders prepare for the future — this week and beyond!
1. The Future of the Economy
The most important economic data of the month will be released this week.
What is this data that impacts financial markets and leads other monthly data?
Manufacturing PMIs — or Purchasing Manager Indicies. In the United States, the best PMI to watch is the U.S. ISM Manufacturing Index.
But manufacturing is such a small part of the U.S. economy. So, how can PMIs be so important?
To find out, watch my video on the U.S. ISM manufacturing Index on LinkedIn Learning video:
2. The Future of Jobs
The COVID-19 pandemic really hurt the U.S. job market, but with vaccinations rolling out in ever-greater numbers, there is hope that the job market will revive rather quickly.
Critical monthly jobs data will be released this week, including the unemployment rate.

3. The Future of Leadership
People often ask me about high-value investments.
One of the most valuable?
Mental real estate!
If you don't occupy much mental real estate, then many people don't likely see you as a leader!

4. The Future of Data
Not all data are created equal.
While many people focus on big data, it's more important to have good data.
Good big data can actually lead to valuable insights.
But without good data, the most you will ever have is big worthless data.
