Many employers continue to hire, suggesting a recession is not on the horizon. The Unemployment Rate remains at 3. 8 , close to that 54year low. President biden today said americans are enjoying the benefits. I think that the American People are smart as hell and know what their interests are. I think they know theyre better off financially than they were before. Its a fact. Reporter yeah, the july and august jobs numbers were also revised up more jobs added. Hourly wages have increased moderately the feds Interest Rate hikes do appear to be having the effect. Inflation is trending down, but the fed wanted to see fewer jobs created as a sign inflation is truly cooling, so will it continue to hike rates next month or hit pause . The higher rates have helped push 30year fixed Mortgage Rates to 7. 84 , the highest in 23 years, and that has slowed the Housing Market lester. All right, tom costello, thanks ahead, what do you do when the big company in town shuts its doors . Inside one small towns fight for survival right after this you heard about todays robust job numbers, but not all americans are feeling that momentum with some towns facing a daunting challenge as the business that kept them going for decades pulls up stakes. Brian cheung went to one such town in missouri. Reporter the sun is about to rise over the tyson chicken plant in noel, missouri, population, 2,100. Down the road at the cliffside cafe, one of the few restaurants in this town, workers past and present gather can i get a large coffee, please to go or for here for here, please. Reporter Jimmy Lassiter just wrapped up her overnight shift, a job shes held for 11 years. I would really like to keep coming by here because i want to support the local businesses, and with the plant closing, theyre going to lose a lot of business. Reporter in a few weeks, the tyson plant will close for good. The town says a third of its population works there. This closure is going to affect us, but weve been through covid. Weve been through floods were going to get through this. Reporter for jimmy, 1 of the 1,500 people losing their jobs at the plant, its the end of an era. Four generations of her family worked there, and without a job, she may not meet her car payments. I dont want to lose this car. Reporter without a car, jimmy says she cant commute to places where manufacturing may be growing and theres few other opportunities if she stays here a lot of the bigger towns, you know, people are like, well, why dont you just go to mcdonalds . Where is a mcdonalds . Reporter this plant has been a fixture in noel for over 50 years. Tyson bought it in the 1990s, but now it says it has to close this and five other plants to improve performance. This as its opening up new facilities in kentucky and virginia. Tyson tells nbc news it has offered a thousand dollars to those who stay on through the plants closing, made plans to relocate about 250 workers to other facilities, and host job fairs to help the rest in noel, mayor terry lance has fielded interest from one company to take over the plant.

Im afraid were going to end up losing close to 100 of the african population reporter set on the elk river, noel is a summer tourist stop known for fishing and kayaking mayor lance says tourism should be the towns big bet do you think that its time for this town to move past the plant . I do, yeah. I mean, its hard to lose that big an employer, especially for a town this small, but ive always felt like tourism was the right future for this town. Reporter jimmy is now bracing for change. If you end up leaving noel, do you think thats it, or would you ever come back i dont think that i would. I think that once if i were to leave and move over near my children, i dont think i would come back. Why theres not really anything here. Reporter a cautionary tale of a small towns reliance on a single big employer brian cheung, nbc news, noel, missouri. Coming up, its a 911 lifeline, texting your emergency instead of calling, but theres a serious problem with the system, next in some lifeanddeath situations, its dangerous to call 911, and texting is the safer option in other cases, texting is the only option, but Candice Nguyen of our nbc bay area station in california reveals a major problem with our emergency texting system i was teaching, and the pain was making me literally bend over. Reporter in 2015 College Math Professor william wong had a lifethreatening emergency with his gallbladder. Being deaf, calling for help wasnt an option he texted me to call 911 for him, but i was not near my phone at that time. So, i decided to drive myself to the emergency room the doctor said that if it had ruptured, i could have died. Reporter since then texts to 911 has been seen as a solution to these lifeanddeath situations when a person cant call. In 2021 emergency dispatchers received more than 400,000 911 texts, but theres still a major problem. A lot of people dont realize that when they send a text message to 911, 911 does not necessarily know exactly where theyre located. Without knowing the location, nothing else can happen. Reporter Mark Fletcher specializes in location data from my home in new jersey, i sent a test text message to 911. They had no location at all i had to tell them where i was. Fletcher says when you call 911, theres constant data flowing between your phone and a cell tower helping that tower locate you, but when you text, the data is a snapshot in comparison your text first gets forwarded to a separate entity called a text control center, which then tries to communicate with your cell phone carrier to then try and establish your location. This problem doesnt just impact the Deaf Community. There are emergencies where calling 911 can be dangerous, and texting is the safer option for instance, in a Domestic Violence situation or an abduction where the victim has no idea where they are Brian Ferguson is the spokesperson for the agency in charge of californias text to 911 rollout. We understand that being vulnerable or being disabled, being older, maybe speaking english as a second language, that shouldnt change your ability to receive services in a time of crisis. Reporter in our interview, ferguson wasnt aware of the geolocation issues, but in a followup email said, it is accurate that with Current Technology text to 911 does not offer the same level of location accuracy as in voice calls. The Deaf Community is yelling, no, this doesnt work you need to fix this. Reporter wongs daughter, gabriella, is working on a solution her app, access sos, locates a user through wifi or phone data and then streamlines that information in a text to an emergency dispatcher the app now in use in three cities, already helping to save lives. My wife and i are so grateful for her, and our community so needs this reporter a need now heard loud and clear. Candice nguyen, nbc news, fremont, california.

Reporter tonight the Nobel Peace Prize shining worldwide attention on longtime activist Narges Mohammadi for fighting against the oppression of iranian women her brave struggle has come with tremendous personal cost. Reporter currently in prison, mohammadi releasing a statement that the Nobel Peace Prize will make her more resilient and determined. President biden in a statement celebrating mohammadis remarkable courage adding, she has endured repeated arrests, persecution and torture. Mohammadi has been a leading voice in the unprecedented protest sparked by the death last year of mahsa amini arrested for not fully covering her hair what effect do you think this could have on the regime and on the crackdown against the women protesters . Its crucial that the International Community stand in solidarity with the iranian people, and this is extremely symbolic and hopefully helps us highlight the iranian peoples aspiration for secular democracy. Reporter irans president raisi blamed the protests on the u. S. And others. Translator some European Countries and the u. S. Were making use of this incident as a project against the republic of iran. Reporter just this week, 16yearold Armita Geravand was hospitalized human Rights Groups say shes in a coma after being attacked on a subway by police for leaving her hair uncovered, fresh evidence for why Narges Mohammadi has been making this her lifes work.
