President biden touting a surprising jobs report that rebuts concerns that the economy is headed towards a recession. According to the labor department, the economy added a half million jobs in july, more than double what economists predicted. In the meantime the Unemployment Rate dropped slightly and that matches a nearly 50 year low from before the pandemic. This is how Cnbc Jim Cramer reacted to the report this morning. Our country is a great growth country and the chinese would kill for it and for the europeans, it will never happen. He wants a hot labor market may force the Federal Reserve to raise Interest Rates to be back inflation. President biden acknowledged that americans may not feel the benefits of the job market as prices are so high. He called it one of the fastest recoveries in american history. Today there are more people working in america than before the pandemic began. There are more people working in america than at any point in american history. He went on to highlight progress and the file fight against inflation especially the drop of gas prices but it may not be enough to convince the american public. According to a new survey, 65 of americans disapprove of the way President Biden is handling inflation. 32 approve. The survey also found half of americans say they are worse off financially than they were one year ago. 15 say they are better off. Our economic correspondent, steve liesman. Is the hiring boom enough to shield the recovery from recession and it certainly would indicate that the economy is not in one. It is really hard to call this recession as the job growth is strong. If it was a typical recession that the economy would have shed hundreds of thousands of jobs and we would be well into the process of rising unemployment. Instead we added 3. 2 million jobs so if it is a recession it is one of the weirder ones. It may be that the job cuts are coming as the effect of high inflation as the rate hikes start to bite into the economy. But working against that is the idea that we have only just now recovered the 22 million jobs we lost in the pandemic and the economy has grown over two years and some industries remain well below the pre pandemic Employment Level so we can still have healthy job growth. What about wage growth . It was a little higher but still not keeping up with inflation. Exactly. It did not surprise me all that much. It is a tight labor market with plenty of and the total evidence and survey data showing businesses are still having trouble finding skilled and unskilled workers at the 0. 5 gain in july wages is still not keeping pace with inflation, price increases will fall in the next couple months to reverse the trend and the growth will start to rise and raising americans Living Standards and i think it may happen in the next couple months. Tanks, very much. Even with the strong jobs report, some industries are struggling to fill open positions. Leisure and hospitality is one of them. Summer travel season is back thanks to two years of pentup demand. Hotels and Tourist Attractions are looking to make up for pandemic shortfall and theres just one problem, staffing. Hotel and leisure staffing is still 1 million jobs below it was prepandemic and the shortage predates covid. 97 of hotel years said they had opening and 49 said to have severe shortages impacting operations. Half the hotels are impacted in a way that would interfere with operations. At the hotel on kettling i met eileen, the ceo said they are still able to provide a good experience despite workarounds to labor shortages. Across the owners properties, some are open five days a week and are limiting the number of items on the menu. The hotel part of the business is also impacted. We limit the number of items on the menu. And people are getting used to not a full Service Every day. If someone is staying with us for three days we are doing limited cleanings and we do a full service on checkout and checkin. They appear in new jersey as an outlier as its fully staffed for summer after getting ahead of the hiring crunch. It was not one Silver Bullet but we had a hiring campaign and worked with the Marketing Campaign and worked with the new Jersey State Legislature and Business Industry Association to change the regulations for minor employees come of those under 18 years old and to expand the amount of time they could work. To lure workers back, bonuses are becoming prevalent and some operators are trying out daily pay, but it may not be enough. The good news is that for those who want to work in the industry, there are many opportunities. If there is a better corporate name than eat, drink, sleep, i have not heard it.

Beijing considers taiwan a breakaway province that belongs to china. A recent drastic buildup by china has raised fears that it may be preparing an invasion. The senior white house correspondents has been tracking the administrations response. Today the white house told beijing that the military actions are responsible and the International Community sides with the United States in opposing escalation and that message was delivered directly to chinas ambassador for summoned in washington for the administration to register its pointed rebuke through formal diplomatic channels. The white house noting the senior channels between the chinese and u. S. Remain open even as the closure of other channels heightens risks. Saying today we are to time attention and things are tense but you want to be able to pick up the phone and talk to the other side so you can increase the level of understanding because when you have this much military hardware, the chances of miscalculations only increase. Speaker pelosis recent travel to taiwan threatens the policy and warns the recent actions and when the white house was asked repeatedly what the visit had achieved or if the administration wished she had not gone the message remain the same, members make their own decisions. We do not tell them what they can and cannot do or where they can travel and we provide a full thorough briefing when they do travel and so, there was no reason to have this escalation that we are seeing from china.

A reminder that georgia law bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy but there are exceptions. Greg bluestein is a political reporter for the atlanta journalconstitution. Ed georgia and republican governor seem to be the top target, why we in part because the antiabortion law that went into effect after the Supreme Court ruling overturning roe v wade but also in part because of proven expansions that democratic governors and other states are saying leave georgia and the governor is dismissing the attacks saying that, we have heard the threats before. But the Companies Want to come to georgia because of the business friendly environment, Logistics Network that the state has and the talented workforce. All these play into georgias advantage. Georgia lost the allstar game and 2021 over Voting Rights law that was a high profile loss for the state but hasnt lost any business this year from any backlash or companies reacting from this we we have not seen widespread evidence of major league back splash.

The latest on them and the video that appears to show that deadly strike. In colorado, environmental activists and ranchers are at odds over wolves wolves are pitting city dwellers against rural folks in colorado. About two years ago the state voted to reintroduce gray wolves into the colorado wilderness as part as a conservation effort to bring the species back to its historic natural territory. The vote narrowly passed, supported mostly by urban residents. Now, rural dwellers who would have to deal with the new visitors say the wolves will kill livestock and hurt their way of life. Valerie castro with the story from colorado. Reporter the state is considering bringing 30 to 40 gray wolves to the state at the end of next year and they are on the endangered species list the conservation efforts have raised the numbers to several thousand across the country and in some states he can even hunt wolves under certain federal guidelines but that is not the case here in colorado, at least not yet. Wolves are not efficient killers so things dont die from a wolf pleasantly. The thirdgeneration colorado rancher has seen it firsthand and lost nine cows to wolf pack and this is one of six wolves born to the pair that traveled from wyoming last january, the offspring is now learning to hunt. They eat almost everything, the hide, ribs and quite a few of the bones. They are listed as endangered beside the newly formed pack have not lived here since the 1940s when the last wolf was killed. Killing them now is illegal even on private property. Ranchers can be in verse reimburse for dead livestock that they need proof. I me to show the animal was a lie before they start to eat on it and for that happened we made the skin back in fun bruising underneath the hide. Where are the cows now . Summer back over here between. He doesnt always find the kills and time they almost have eaten all the evidence overnight. Ranchers now face to lose even more as the state gives up to implement a wolf reintroduction but signs like this make it clear how some people in the state voted. We are Small Community that thrives unwelcome hunters to our place in the world. We are being dictated to and imposed upon the people in our state that are not going to be affected. They are Hunting Outfitters who rely on the large oak population in the state, the perfect prey for wolves. We have seen what has happened in idaho and montana. All of these places that have drops of wolves on them. Outfitters do not exist there anymore. A Public Meeting this week implementing a federal guideline that would allow people to kill problem wolves on private land. It would not help us at all. We dont own the elk or the land. We have initiated stakeholder process made up of a variety of citizens that represent all kinds of people that are interested in wolf management. 2 million gray wolves once lived in this country. Defenders of wildlife and Environmental Advocacy group as part of the environmental panel. The ideas we could help restore the Natural Balance of the wild places. Finding balance between predator and prey is the ultimate goal. We merge with recommendations that will set colorado as a leader in wolf recovery. This rancher is not convinced. Colorado is way behind from where they should be in dealing with the laws. Not everyone is against bringing the wolves to the state but some just want reasonable ways to manage them. Ranchers are only allowed to use a few lot nonlethal methods to scare them off that the wolves have already begun to outsmart the tactics mess for ranchers compensated for dead livestock, the price they are given for the cow that day does not come close to what it wouldve sold for in the fall.

The Company Announced the first film for the iconic dc universe character will not be released at all, anywhere and had a reported 90 million budget, shot and set to go straight to streaming on hbo max but then warner media merged with discovery and with that came in a shift in strategy. According to variety the ceo wants to see movies to be blockbuster Theatrical Releases and not budgeted for the home stream. But now the merged company is left with the finished 90 million movie that has been shelved, never to be seen. That bellamy is with the Founding Partner of pup news and the former editor at the hollywood reporter. Why would warner bros. Or the new leadership do this after spending so much . The movie is caught in a no mans land. Its not expensive enough with big action sequences and big Character Development for it to play in theaters. But it is so expensive that it doesnt make sense economically to just drop it on the streaming service. So they said, we have this opportunity and we can take a Tax Deduction if we put it in the dumpster and never show it to anybody and we will just take the hit. How rare is it for a major studio to scrap a movie . Extraordinarily rare on this scale. Movies are and releasable and sometimes caught in legal limbo where there are problems that require it to never be released but not on this scale and this is a batgirl movie based on the intellectual property that is the most prized possession of warner bros. So this movie was supposed to be part of an interlocking series of dc comic and theyre taking that out of circulation. You were very careful to say did not thread the needle between a Theatrical Release and streaming release, is it another minute way of saying that the movie was horribly bad . It was not good. I talked to people at cnet who said it was not a great movie but there are a lot of movies that are not great, especially in the dc realm. It wasnt that it was not good but not theatrical meaning there was no amount of re shoots or extra money put in that they could do to movie to make it feel like there was value in theaters. So they look at the streaming service and its too expensive for that because they would like at the return on subscribers so it falls into this chasm where they have no use for it. It has been a messy couple of weeks for warner bros. Thank you for joining us. The lords house is made into the metaverse. Worship, communion and even baptisms are headed to a virtual world. Some pastors say its cheaper because they dont have to pay for brickandmortar church and allows congregants who cannot leave their home to join in. This is the pastor on a sunday morning. And this is the pastor on a sunday afternoon. His avatar, anyway. He is the lead pastor of Cornerstone Church in california and now also of the metaverse. All of these people from all different tribes. Each sunday after leaving two services in person, he pops on his headset and preaches to another congregation. Volunteers in the Digital World want them to look just like the real one even down to the stainedglass windows and with the beauty of the metaverse, you can design it however you would like. I like how here you could do church outside. 15 years of i rl pastoring. And what makes you decide, we should get this church in the metaverse . A lot of craziness. I have always loved tech but people come there to connect with others and try to deal with some issues they are facing so i was like, thats my bread and butter and i want to help people who are hurting. For him its a form of missionary work as he is reaching people who never wander through the doors of a physical church. Take a wanted application and program to hang out and they see there is a church. Where they probably would not come to a brickandmortar church which is maybe awkward, that they can click in and click out, if its weird. So its easy to jump in. Now the visitors are becoming fullfledged members like alice who joins in from the uk every week. I used to hide from wolves but im not hiding from wolves anymore because there are none here. We have ever have found it in the real world . I would have been reluctant. They offer everything the real windows, small groups, fellowship and sometimes better conversations than the real world.

The even key practices that might surprise you like baptism and communion. Those who are curious, have plenty of options. Over the last six months, the number of churches entering vr up 500 and has grown in popularity so quickly. There was even a Metaverse Church summit. One major benefit it is a lot cheaper. Churches have to spend a lot of money to have a building and other stuff that comes with it and the metaverse is 300 for the headset. For those who cannot physically make it to the church that they love, the headset can make all the difference in the world and that was the case for this longtime member of Cornerstone Church i rl now helping the virtual community. I had a heart attack and cannot make it back to church. It was to make difficult to walk and get around. How much has the church in the metaverse meant to you . Everything. It gives me purpose and is an outlet that i could never imagine. A volcano in iceland is putting on a show and it is not just the law that that people are risking to get a closer look.
