[CutID: <Cuts> JOBLESS-RATE-house-q-FRIam.mp3
Time: 25s
Title: JOBLESS-RATE-house-q-FRIam
Out-cue: to pre-pandemic levels]

TAG: Correspondent Jeremy House reporting. The stronger hiring demonstrates the job market’s resilience after more than a year of rapid interest rate increases by the Fed.

——————————–
VERBATIM: The number is well above expectations and evidence of strength in an economy that the Federal Reserve is continuously trying to cool. The unemployment rate rose to 3.7%, from a five-decade low of 3.4% in April. Many industries, from construction to restaurants to health care, are still adding jobs to keep up with consumer demand and restore their workforces to pre-pandemic levels.

Biden praises Speaker McCarthy for role in debt talks

Fri, Jun 2, 2023 at 7:36 pm

President Biden is complimenting House Speaker McCarthy for his role in raising the nation’s debt ceiling and averting a default. The president used an Oval Office address to tout congressional passage of the budget and debt ceiling legislation. And he went out of his way to praise the Republican House speaker. The president said “both sides operated in good faith and both sides kept their word.” Passage of the bill before Monday’s deadline averts a first-ever default by the federal government.

Former President Trump Kicks Off Campaign Events

Sat, Jan 28, 2023 at 10:16 pm

The former President is kicking off his 2024 campaign with two stops along the East Coast. More from Correspondent Bernie Bennett.

Former President Donald Trump kicked off his 2024 White House bid with a stop Saturday in New Hampshire before heading to South Carolina, appearances in early-voting states marking the first campaign events since announcing his latest run more than two months ago.

Those states hold two of the party’s first three nominating contests, giving them enormous power in selecting the nominee.

Mr. Trump and his allies hope the events will offer a show of force behind the former president after a sluggish start to his campaign. In recent weeks, his backers have reached out to political operatives and elected officials to secure support for Mr. Trump at a critical point when other Republicans are preparing their own expected challenges.

The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty is taking the state to court, stating that the new restriction is “not only patently anti-religious; it is also against the law.” Michael Harrington, SRN News.
