Romney was one of three GOP senators who had voted moments earlier to confirm Jackson, along with Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Susan Collins (Maine). He appeared to be the only Republican, though, who made a point to stay behind and celebrate Jackson’s confirmation."

In March, 431,000 jobs were added, leaving the total number
of jobs now only 1.6 million shy of pre-pandemic levels!
"Despite concerns about inflation and the Russia-Ukraine war,
American businesses are still hiring at full throttle, while more
people are returning to the labor force (including retirees),
likely drawn by higher wages," said Sal Guatieri,
senior economist at BMO, in a note to clients.
"That's great news for the economy." 
US businesses are having to increase pay in order to attract staff
as job openings remain near record highs.
Average hourly earnings increased to $31.73 in March.
That means the Federal Reserve, whose job includes keeping prices
stable, will need to continue its series of monetary-tightening moves.
In March, the central bank raised interest rates by a quarter-percentage
point for the first time since 2018 in order to rein in high prices.
Market expectations for a bigger interest rate hike in May rose
following last Friday's employment data.

Hard to tell how long that ruling will last since I am nearly positive the LOSERS will whine some more and demand a furhter appeal to the Supreme Court and their 6 - 3 conservative majority

This thread has unfortunately for all of us aged terribly. Hopefully folks can stop voting for letters next to names and start actually caring more about policy and this countries well-being.
I'm not optimistic as people are much to entrenched in thinking their party is good and the other is bad, but maybe one day we will arise and stop being simpletons who blindly follow 2 corrupt political parties.
Godspeed.

Jobless claims match 1968 low
New York (CNN Business) America's labor market is on fire.
There are far more available jobs than workers and the latest data
on initial weekly unemployment claims underscores that imbalance.
Initial claims for jobless benefits fell to 166,000 in the week ended April 2.
That was far fewer than the 200,000 or so claims that economists
had predicted!
It is the lowest level since November 1968, after revisions.

Deadly Ghost guns
President Joe Biden announced a new firearm regulation yesterday meant to contain the use of so-called "ghost guns" -- which are unregulated, untraceable weapons made from kits.
The new regulation will address a critical gap in the government's ability to track such guns by requiring background checks before purchase and serial numbers on some of the components.
Up until now, anyone -- no matter their age or criminal record -- could buy the kits and assemble a lethal weapon.

@KellyM_1964
You were right. Slight rise as you predicted.
WASHINGTON — The number of people seeking unemployment benefits ticked up last week but remained at a historically low level, reflecting a robust U.S. labor market with near record-high job openings and few layoffs.
Jobless claims rose by 18,000 to 185,000, the Labor Department said Thursday, after nearly touching the lowest level since 1968 in the previous week.
“Claims are still at very low levels, underscoring historically tight labor market conditions,'' said Nancy Vanden Houten, lead U.S. economist at Oxford Economics. “We expect initial claims to remain below (200,000) in the weeks ahead, as employers, who continue to struggle to attract and retain workers, will keep layoffs to a minimum.''
Two years after the coronavirus pandemic sent the economy into a brief but devastating recession, American workers are enjoying extraordinary job security. Weekly applications for unemployment aid, a proxy for layoffs, have remained consistently below the pre-pandemic level of 225,000.

Easy to open jobs when the money printer gets turned on and the fed gives money away like an unattended box of candy on Halloween. Only problem now is inflation. So while jobless claims might be low, people are still struggling with inflation which will take awhile before it really hits hard. Hopefully businesses can stay open and people can stay employed and prices can work back down. Time will tell.

So why is there still material shortages if the labor market is so great?
Why is inflation continuing to increase at rapid rates?
Are we really in a great shape?

Trump didn't want to force people to stay home. Democrats FORCED BUSINESSES TO CLOSE AND FORCED PEOPLE TO GO ON UNEMPLOYMENT. You lefties are so confused and spun.
Keep that money printer burning. Just wait for your loaf of bread to hit $30bucks while wages stay stagnate. What's the economic term for that called again?
