Hey LinkedIn fam, I need your help. After a LONG hiatus, I'm restarting my newsletter. I'm super excited as I've been investing lots of time in it and I'll be sharing some awesome, completely original content.

Which email subject line would you be most likely to open? (If you have time, I'd love to read your thoughts in the comments below.)

I’m pleased to introduce ‘Inside the Chinese boardroom’, a new newsletter here on LinkedIn by my colleague Joe Ngai , Managing Partner of McKinsey’s Greater China Region. In a series of short essays, he will explore topics top of mind for business leaders in China today. In his inaugural piece he talks about ‘China’s learning revolution’ and the enormous challenge (and opportunity) facing China’s workforce as it seeks to stay relevant as digitization and automation change how work gets done and, eventually, displace jobs. Hit the subscribe button so you’re the first to know when he publishes a new article. And definitely do weigh in with your thoughts and suggestions in the comments. …see more

In a new report by my colleague Jonathan Woetzel , Director of the McKinsey Global Institute, he estimates that the shortage of affordable housing depresses GDP across the LA metro area by more than 2%. This translates into $18-22 billion in lost output every year for the City of LA, and almost double that amount for LA County. Most of this occurs as households forgo other types of consumption to pay the rent or mortgage. Consumption is limited even further for Angelenos who face high transportation costs because they cannot afford to live near their place of employment—a situation that contributes to some of the nation’s worst traffic congestion and related environmental consequences. The affordable housing shortage is also one of the factors contributing to homelessness in Los Angeles and increasing the challenge of getting people back on their feet and into permanent housing. Los Angeles, a city of four million people, added fewer than 7,300 units of affordable housing over the most recent five-year period. The rest of LA County added approximately 6,200 affordable units in the same period. Read the report: https://lnkd.in/f2S_nWX #housingforall #realestate …see more
