| Welcome to The Week in Charts, where we break down Gallup's latest insights on our constantly evolving world. Here are the five insights you shouldn't miss this week: | | 1. Concerning Signs for the Housing Market | | | After a bull market in the housing industry as most of the world emerged from COVID lockdown, Americans are cooling on whether it's a good time to buy a home. Today, a record-low 30% of Americans tell Gallup now is a good time to buy, while seven in 10 say it's a bad time. Seven in 10 also expect prices to continue to rise where they live, which could chill the market. The upside is that a record-high 45% of Americans view real estate as the best long-term investment, well above those favoring stocks, bonds, gold or regular savings.

While mentions of racism as the most important problem facing the nation have waned since George Floyd's killing, a vast racial disparity in the degree of concern remains. Most recently, a majority of Black Americans (74%) tell Gallup they worry a great deal about race relations, while 39% of White Americans share that view. | | | | 3. Why German Workers Stay Silent on Unethical Behavior | | | One in five workers in Europe's largest economy tell us they have personally witnessed unethical behavior on the job, yet six in 10 of those who saw something didn't say something. Their reason? They didn't think leaders would take action if they reported it. Our team in Germany breaks down what leaders should be doing to foster a more transparent culture.

While Chief Justice John Marshall best defined the role of the court (that "we must never forget that it is a constitution we are expounding"), a decision to overturn Roe v. Wade would be on the wrong side of public opinion. Last we checked, a majority of Americans support upholding the seminal case that recognized the right to choose abortion as within a woman's constitutional right to privacy.

Regardless of the outcome, real work is needed to address the economic pain Filipinos are feeling. The Philippine economy plunged into recession after the COVID-19 pandemic started, and the effects have been felt across the country. Across all age groups of Filipinos, majorities said in 2021 that they were having difficulty getting by on their current household income.
