Next Thursday, we'll be hosting a conversation about "The New American Workforce," and we hope you'll join us. See below for all of the details, and sign up while there are still a few spaces left. While everyone's been focused on the impeachment inquiry into President Trump (tip: subscribe to the Politics newsletter for all those details!), we thought we'd catch you up on a few important stories on the business front: Kayla Tausche reports on a critical compromise reached this week, allowing the U.S. to remain within the Universal Postal Union and set its own postage rates on packages arriving from other countries. Companies like eBay, Etsy, and Amazon have raised concerns about the impact of the changes. On the trade front, the U.S. and Japan outlined the initial details of a deal, which Trump described as "significant steps" toward a fair and reciprocal agreement. Jacob Pramuk has those details. As U.S.-China trade talks continue to drag on, not everyone is feeling the pain of the stalemate. Google's cloud chief tells Elizabeth Schulze that its growth hasn't been impacted. Oh, and in case you were worried about a shutdown (wait, what shutdown?!), the Senate just passed a short-term spending bill to keep the government running through November 21. Hope to see you next week! Think a friend or colleague should be getting this newsletter? Share this link with them to sign up.
