Job Growth Stalls In August As Trump Tariffs Strain Labor Market The US labor market slowed sharply in August, as President Donald Trump's tariffs, inflation, and lower consumer confidence grip the nation's economy. There were 22,000 jobs added nationwide in August, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said in a news release on Friday, Sept. 5. The weak numbers mark one of the softest hiring months in recent years, falling well below the Dow Jones estimate of 75,000 new jobs, CNBC reported. Unemployment also ticked up to 4.3%, its highest level since July 2024. A broader metric, which includes discouraged workers and those with part-time jobs fo…

Trump Admin Ends Plan To Make Airlines Pay For Disrupted Flights The Trump administration is abandoning a Biden-era proposal that would have required airlines to compensate passengers with cash, meals, and hotel stays for cancellations or long delays. The Transportation Department revealed that it plans to withdraw the rule, according to a document posted online on Thursday, Sept. 4. The DOT called the move "consistent with department and administration priorities." The proposal was first unveiled in December 2024, just weeks before former President Joe Biden left office. The regulation would have forced airlines to issue at least $20…

Teaneck Road Hot Bagels Named Among 15 Best Bagel Shops In America A popular Bergen County bagel shop has been named one of the best in the United States by Fodor’s Travel.

American Eagle Stock Soars 24% After Controversial Sydney Sweeney ‘Great Jeans’ Ad Sydney Sweeney may have just done for American Eagle what pumpkin spice does for Starbucks. The actress’s now-infamous “Great Jeans” commercial — the one where she purrs, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring... My jeans are blue” — has been roasted, memed, and accused of everything from being a “Nazi dog whistle” to shameless Calvin Klein cosplay.  But while the internet argued, Wall Street cheered. On Wednesday, Sept. 3, American Eagle Outfitters Inc. (NYSE: AEO) announced second-quarter earnings that smashed expectations: $103 million in operating income (up 2%), $1.28 b…
Daylight Saving Time Earlier End Coming: When To 'Fall Back' Daylight Saving Time Earlier End Coming: When To 'Fall Back'
Daylight Saving Time Earlier End Coming: When To 'Fall Back' Evening darkness will arrive a little sooner this fall. The annual time change is set, and there are a few things to know before the clocks move. Daylight Saving Time in the US ends Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025. At 2 a.m. local time, clocks turn back to 1 a.m., which effectively adds an extra hour of sleep and shifts more light to the morning. This year’s end date is a day earlier than last year, which ended on Nov. 3, 2024. Not every place changes. Hawaii and most of Arizona do not observe Daylight Saving Time, although the Navajo Nation does.  Since 2007, most of the country has followed a …
AG James, 19 States Slam Federal Policy Forcing Indefinite Immigrant Detention AG James, 19 States Slam Federal Policy Forcing Indefinite Immigrant Detention
AG James, 19 States Slam Federal Policy Forcing Indefinite Immigrant Detention New York Attorney General Letitia James is leading a coalition of 19 attorneys general in pushing back against a federal policy that would keep many undocumented immigrants locked up without the chance for a bond hearing. In a legal brief filed Wednesday, Sept. 3, the attorneys general argued that the US Department of Homeland Security’s new approach violates due process, harms families, and wastes taxpayer dollars. The new policy eliminates bond hearings for those who entered the country without inspection, meaning they could be held indefinitely — sometimes for months or years — regardles…

Kissing Bugs Spreading Deadly Chagas Disease In 29 States, Creeping North They bite at night and leave more than an itch.  Kissing bugs capable of spreading the parasite behind Chagas disease have been found in 29 states, and the often-silent infection can turn deadly years later.

Pennsylvania Needs Comprehensive Strategy for Energy Dominance Pennsylvania Needs Comprehensive Strategy for Energy Dominance
Pennsylvania Needs Comprehensive Strategy for Energy Dominance Pennsylvanians could be forgiven for feeling a bit whipsawed when it comes to recent energy-related news here in the Keystone State. On one hand, the recently signed federal “One Big Beautiful Bill” pulls back from recent progress that has been made in clean energy production, limiting our energy options instead of supporting an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy. That means fewer jobs, less economic growth and an electric grid that will become increasingly strained under continued and unprecedented demand for more power. On the other hand, U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick and President Donald Trum…
