WASHINGTON — The U.S. economy added 818,000 fewer jobs from April 2023 through March this year than were originally reported, the government said Wednesday. The revised total adds to evidence that the job market has been steadily slowing and likely reinforces the Federal Reserve’s plan to start cutting interest rates soon. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The Labor Department estimated that job growth averaged 174,000 a month in the year that ended in March — a drop of 68,000 a month from the 242,000 that were initially reported.

  • Fox News Comes To Trump's Rescue
    The Daily Dot, Thursday - 09/12/2024 - 07:25 AM

    At the conclusion of the first presidential debate between Trump and Harris, Fox News host Martha MacCallum attacked the ABC News debate moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis signifying Harris won. Host Bret Baier opened by discussing the overall debate and said VP Harris was clearly prepared. BAIER: Well, the topics, inflation, abortion, immigration, January 6th, it took about 40 minutes to get to a question, pressing Vice President Harris on the list of changing policies from when she ran for president in 2019, about an hour before foreign policy came up. The first question of the debate, are you better off than you were four years ago, never fully received an answer there. However, Vice President Harris was clearly well-prepared, practiced on the offensive much of the night.

  • DeSantis Orders Elected GOPers To Oppose Abortion Amendment
    The Daily Dot, Thursday - 09/12/2024 - 07:24 AM

    Bootsy DeSantis has quite the dilemma on his hands. He knows Amendment 4 will be a catastrophe for Florida's Republican Party, and he's ordering fellow Republicans to follow him over the edge of that cliff. I don't think they're gonna go for it. I think they'll wait until after the election, dig through the wreckage, and see where the real power centers are.
