↑ 6%America's Best Colleges of 2026-2027. As jobs have become more technological, job markets have become more competitive, and the costs of tuition have risen, college students are increasingly considering the ROI of their education, or how efficiently it can be used to acquire a high-paying job post-grad. "We need to be more outcome-oriented, more career-oriented when we think about what we're recommending for students in higher ed," says John Friedman, a professor of economics and international and public affairs at Brown University. "There are a lot of people who really do want to get career advancement, to get economic value out of the time and money they're spending in college, and we should help them do that." To highlight U.S. institutions that provide the best value for their students, TIME partnered with data research firm Statista on the inaugural edition of America's Best Colleges of 2026-2027, ranking the colleges that excel at student outcomes, learning environment, and attractiveness to students. The search for high ROI education has led many U.S. college students to pursue STEM careers. According to a 2026 report from the National Science Foundation, the STEM workforce grew by 26% between 2013 and 2023 compared to the non-STEM workforce, which grew 9% - and STEM jobs are projected to continue growing at a faster rate than non-STEM jobs for the next decade or so. From 2021 to 2023, higher-education degrees awarded particularly in science and engineering reached record highs, and the U.S. was the most popular post-secondary STEM education destination for international students. Schools with historically strong STEM programs - and pipelines into high-paying tech jobs - rank high on the list, like research universities Stanford (no. 1), known for its startup culture and connection to Silicon Valley, and MIT (no. 2), a patent powerhouse. At no. 3 is Harvey Mudd, a small liberal arts college with a student population of around 900. It offers only majors in STEM - appealing to Gen-Z students who are increasingly turning to trade schools to learn technical skills - but competes with the big schools by encouraging students to be engaged in humanities, social sciences, and arts so they can understand the ethical impact of their work on society. "If anything, this is the time that the world needs more liberal arts colleges, because we need people to question what's happening," says Thyra Briggs, Harvey Mudd's VP of admission and financial aid. "We hear from the graduate programs that admit our students and from the companies that hire them that they are often the translators in their office because they can do the very high level technical conversations that you would expect, but they also know how to translate that to people who may not have that same background." The school's famous Clinic Program is a year-long capstone project developed in the early 1960s that has a team of students work directly with companies like Blue Origin, Sokil, and the Federal Aviation Administration to solve real-life research problems complete with a budget, a deliverable, a due date, and a corporate liaison. Very often, these projects can lead directly to jobs, Briggs says. Of course, studying science and engineering is not the only option for students to get the most out of their post-secondary education. For example, Claremont McKenna (no. 9), part of the same liberal arts college consortium as Harvey Mudd, offers a wider range of non-STEM majors. Its career center provides career resources for "interest clusters" to help students think about potential post-grad pathways and give them relevant organizations to explore. In a post last year, Claremont reported that over 96% of the recent graduating class had defined plans and a median salary of $80,000. "There are going to be a lot of different fields that provide ROI," says John Friedman, a professor of economics and international and public affairs at Brown University. "If you look within particular fields, there's often a ton of variation between what people get paid." While data shows that STEM jobs tend to pay off, there are also benefits to studying in fields that are undersupplied and growing; but research into more niche high-earning career paths can be more sparse, and sometimes students don't realize which fields are high-earning or ways in which they can apply their degree creatively. For students who want certainty of outcome, sector-specific workforce training programs have been found to be most successful in increasing people's earnings because they train people for a particular job at a company. Some colleges are catching on to the need to link the skills learned during class to what jobs require. For example, Fashion Institute of Technology (no. 51) is partnering with Lightcast to display data about career outlooks, job availability, salary potential, and hard and soft skills required for the niche majors they offer like technical design, spatial experience design, packaging design and toy design.

Dr. Anthony Corrado named to Newsweek's America's Best Plastic Surgeons 2026. Corrado Center for Facial Plastic Surgery Aug 14, 2026, 16:36 ET Triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Corrado has been named to Newsweek's America's Best Plastic Surgeons 2026, adding to a growing list of honors recognizing his more than 17-year career devoted exclusively to facial plastic surgery. As part of the 2026 ranking, Dr. Corrado received additional recognition for his expertise in rhinoplasty. CHERRY HILL, N.J., Aug. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ - Dr. Anthony Corrado, a triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon and Founder and Medical Director of the Corrado Center for Facial Plastic Surgery, has been named to Newsweek's America's Best Plastic Surgeons 2026. The prestigious national distinction adds to a growing list of honors recognizing Dr. Corrado's more than 17-year career devoted exclusively to aesthetic and reconstructive surgery of the face and neck. His practice focuses on rhinoplasty and advanced facial rejuvenation, including facelift and neck lift surgery. As part of the 2026 ranking, Dr. Corrado received additional recognition for his expertise in rhinoplasty, one of the defining areas of his surgical practice. "To be recognized among America's Best Plastic Surgeons is an incredible honor," said Dr. Corrado. "What makes this recognition especially meaningful to me is that it reflects a career I have devoted exclusively to the face. Whether I am performing a rhinoplasty, facelift, neck lift or another facial procedure, my philosophy remains the same: understand the individual, respect the anatomy and create a result that is refined, natural and never looks overdone." Exclusively Facial. Exceptionally Focused. Unlike practices encompassing cosmetic surgery of the face and body, Dr. Corrado has concentrated his education, surgical training and private practice exclusively on the complex anatomy, function and aesthetics of the face and neck. In rhinoplasty, his approach emphasizes individualized surgical planning, facial balance, structural support and preservation of nasal function. In facial rejuvenation, Dr. Corrado focuses on restoring youthful facial and neck contours while preserving the characteristics that make each patient recognizable. "The face is our identity, and that carries an enormous responsibility for a facial plastic surgeon," Dr. Corrado said. "My patients aren't coming to me because they want to become someone else. They want to look like themselves - just more refined, more youthful or more balanced. The best result should enhance the individual without overpowering who they are." This philosophy is central to Dr. Corrado's approach to facial plastic surgery: natural, refined results that enhance identity rather than change it. Specialized Training and Recognition Dr. Corrado graduated with honors from New York University and earned his medical degree from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. He completed residency training in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and Facial Plastic Surgery at UMDNJ, with additional training at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. He subsequently pursued advanced fellowship training in cosmetic surgery in Beverly Hills and Newport Beach, California, further refining his expertise in facial aesthetic surgery. Newsweek partnered with global data firm Statista to develop America's Best Plastic Surgeons 2026. The ranking uses a rigorous methodology incorporating extensive peer recommendations from thousands of medical professionals and detailed assessments of quality of care. More than 10,000 votes for plastic surgeons were collected and analyzed across six major cosmetic surgery procedures. The Newsweek distinction joins numerous other honors recognizing the breadth of Dr. Corrado's work in facial plastic surgery. He has been named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor and recognized by New Jersey Monthly among its Select Surgeons for both rhinoplasty and facelift surgery, along with additional recognition from Philadelphia and South Jersey publications. "Awards are certainly gratifying, but they also reinforce the responsibility that comes with being a surgeon," Dr. Corrado said. "Patients are trusting us with their faces. That trust deserves honesty, ethical decision-making, realistic expectations and the judgment to recommend what is truly in the patient's best interest - even when the right recommendation is not to operate." About Dr. Anthony Corrado Dr. Anthony Corrado is a triple board-certified facial plastic surgeon and Founder and Medical Director of the Corrado Center for Facial Plastic Surgery in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. For more than 17 years, his practice has been devoted exclusively to aesthetic and reconstructive surgery of the face and neck, with particular expertise in rhinoplasty and facial rejuvenation, including facelift, neck lift and eyelid surgery. His approach emphasizes individualized treatment, surgical precision, aesthetic restraint and natural-looking results. About the Corrado Center for Facial Plastic Surgery The Corrado Center for Facial Plastic Surgery is a specialized facial plastic surgery practice in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, dedicated exclusively to surgical and non-surgical aesthetic treatment of the face and neck. The practice serves patients throughout New Jersey, Philadelphia and the surrounding region, as well as patients traveling from across the United States and abroad.

Ströer continues positive business performance in the first half of 2026. Group revenue grows organically by 2.7 percent to EUR 1,037 million in the first half of the year / OoH Media segment grows by 8.0 percent in the first half of the year; Digital Out of Home increases by 18.5 percent / Group EBITDA (adjusted) amounts to EUR 273 million in the first half of the year Ströer SE & Co. KGaA continued its positive operating performance in the second quarter of 2026. Against this backdrop, the Group increased revenue organically by 2.7 percent to EUR 1,037 million in the first half of 2026 (H1 2025: EUR 980 million). Reported revenue growth was approximately 6 percent. In addition to the core OoH Media segment, which increased revenue by approximately 8 percent both organically and on a reported basis to EUR 491 million in the first six months, the Digital & Dialog Media segment was an important growth driver. Digital & Dialog Media revenue increased organically by 5.4 percent (reported: 14.4 percent). Revenue in the DaaS & E-Commerce segment amounted to approximately EUR 156 million after the first six months (H1 2025: EUR 176 million). EBITDA (adjusted) increased by 3 percent to EUR 273 million in the first six months of fiscal 2026 (H1 2025: EUR 266 million), while EBIT (adjusted) increased by 6 percent to EUR 115 million (H1 2025: EUR 109 million). Net income (adjusted) increased by 7 percent to EUR 56 million (H1 2025: EUR 52 million). Operating Cash Flow increased to EUR 161 million in the first half of the current fiscal year (H1 2025: EUR 146 million). Investments (before M&A) amounted to EUR 51 million (H1 2025: EUR 40 million). Free Cash Flow (adjusted) amounted to EUR -1.9 million in the first six months, remaining at the prior-year level (H1 2025: EUR -1.6 million). "The figures for the first half of 2026 confirm our operating strength, and we are developing as planned. OoH Media in particular continued to perform positively and sustainably, while Digital Out of Home, with revenue growth of 19 percent, is the key growth driver of our core business. This enables us to offset the comparatively weaker momentum in our non-core business areas," said Udo Müller, CEO of Ströer SE & Co. KGaA. OoH Media Revenue in the OoH Media segment increased by 8.0 percent in the first half of the year, from EUR 455 million to EUR 491 million. The primary growth driver was Digital Out of Home, with revenue growth of 18.5 percent in the first six months. Revenue in the Services business increased by 26.7 percent in the first half of the fiscal year, while classic OOH revenue was slightly below the prior-year level. EBITDA (adjusted) in the segment increased by 10.3 percent to EUR 224 million in the first six months of the year 2026 (H1 2025: EUR 203 million). Digital & Dialog Media Revenue in the Digital & Dialog Media segment increased by 14.4 percent to EUR 476 million in the first half of the fiscal year 2026 (H1 2025: EUR 416 million). The Digital business generated revenue growth of 2.6 percent to EUR 208 million during this period. At EUR 267 million, revenue in the Dialog business increased organically by 8.0 percent and by 25.5 percent on a reported basis. EBITDA (adjusted) in the segment amounted to approximately EUR 57 million in the first half of the year (H1 2025: EUR 59 million). This development primarily reflects a changed product mix and higher personnel costs in the labor-intensive Dialog business as a result of increased minimum wages. DaaS & E-Commerce Revenue in the DaaS & E-Commerce segment amounted to EUR 156 million in the first half of the year 2026 (H1 2025: EUR 176 million). At Statista, revenue decreased organically by 4.4 percent to EUR 72 million in the first six months (H1 2025: EUR 82 million). Given the continued subdued consumer demand in Germany, Asam's revenue, at approximately EUR 83 million (H1 2025: EUR 93 million), was below the prior-year level. EBITDA (adjusted) in the segment amounted to approximately EUR 11 million in the first half of 2026 (H1 2025: EUR 20 million). Outlook For the third quarter, the Company expects revenue growth in the mid-single-digit percentage range in the OoH Media segment. For Digital & Dialog Media, revenue growth broadly in line with Q2 2026 developments is expected. In the DaaS & E-Commerce segment, Ströer expects a revenue decline in the low double-digit percentage range. Against this backdrop, Ströer confirms its outlook for full-year 2026.

Rational Kitchen Barometer 2026 highlights pressures and opportunities for Professional kitchens. Published: 8th July 2026 Professional kitchens across the hospitality sector are facing growing challenges, from staff shortages and rising costs to increasing sustainability demands and a lack of digitalisation. The Rational Kitchen Barometer 2026, produced by Rational in partnership with Statista, examines how operators are responding to these pressures. The study is based on feedback from 250 kitchen operators in Germany, France, Japan, the UK and the US. "The catering industry is at a turning point. Decisions can no longer be based on gut feeling; they require reliable data," said Brendon Land, Managing Director at Rational UK. The study found that 64% of operators experienced significant staff shortages in the past year, leading to reduced opening hours, increased overtime, longer wait times and higher staff turnover. While businesses are investing in staff retention, process improvements and digital tools, many still face challenges in closing the gap between current efforts and expected outcomes. Rising operating costs are also affecting profitability. More than half of respondents identified energy prices as a major concern, while many continue to struggle with increasing labour costs. As a result, 75% view energy-efficient equipment as a strategic investment, helping to reduce costs while supporting sustainability goals. Sustainability continues to grow in importance, with 62% of respondents reporting increased customer demand for more sustainable practices. Many kitchens are already taking action by reducing food waste, using local and seasonal ingredients, and adopting more resource-efficient cleaning methods. Despite increasing pressure to improve efficiency, many kitchens remain reliant on manual processes. Sixty-five percent of respondents said their operations are not yet fully digitally integrated, and almost half do not use programmable cooking equipment that helps ensure consistent results. The report highlights intelligent cooking systems, such as Rational's iCombi Pro and iVario Pro, as potential solutions for improving efficiency, reducing energy and water consumption, streamlining workflows and maintaining consistent food quality, even with limited or less experienced staff.
