At least five times this year, oil trains have deraild and caught fire. National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Christopher Hart has expressed concerns about the tank cars used to carry crude. Unfortunately, were using the same cars to move crude oil as to use corn oil. That is not acceptable. The percentage is amaze allege lg low 99. 99 of cars get across our Network Without an accident. Edward hamberger says the industrys Safety Record is sound. We wont be satisfied until we can get it to 100 safety, but right now were at 99. 995.

Pelley Mark Strassman thanks very much mark. Today, the Unemployment Rate fell to 5. 3 , the lowest in seven years. But its a mixed picture. The Labor Department says 223,000 jobs were created in june, fairly healthy. But hourly wages were flat. And Anthony Mason reports the Unemployment Rate fell for the wrong reason. Reporter the Unemployment Rate dropped in june but only because more people dropped out of the workforce. The socalled Labor Force Participation rate is now at its worst level since 1977. 34yearold Katherine Zaleski is trying to change that. Shes president of power to fly a new hiring web site for women who want to work remotely from home. How are the enterviews going today . Reporter zaleski and her cofounder, milena berry, have no office space. Its very much a brand built around placing more women on jobs. Reporter they and their 35 employees all work remotely themselves. The percentage of women in the workforce is going down in the u. S. Because were telling women they need to be in the office all the time and thats clearly not work. Reporter in 2000, nearly 59 of women 20 and older were employed, an alltime high. But since then, that ratio has fallen back to 55 . A lot of women i know, they disappear in their 30s because they physically cannot be in an office. Reporter nearly 1,000 companies have posted job listings on power to fly including heft, buzzfeed, and the washington post. For positions positions and in technology, marxing, sales, and customer service. And the web site is growing so quickly, power to fly itself plans to hire another 60 workers over the next six months. Its this idea that you can continue to be just as productive just as valuable as a team member but you can do it remotely. Reporter its not just women who have been withdrawing from the job market. Only 71 of men have now participating in the labor force, and scott thats an alltime low. Pelley anthony, we saw yet again in the jobs data today that wages are flat. Reporter basically 2 over the last year, scott. Thats barely above the rate of inflation. Economists keep saying we think this is going to happen, wages are going to start to grow, but they havent. Basically, employers wont race raze wages until they have to get the workers they need which suggests theres still slackness in the labor market. Pelley Anthony Mason thank you anthony.

Reporter his poll numbers are on the rise. Recent surveys of Republican Voters show trump has gone from an alsoran to second place in iowa, new hampshire, and nationwide which has not gone unnoticed by democrats.

Republicans told the country they had learned from the last camcampaign that we need a more inclusive society, we need to be welcome will. This send the opposite message. Reporter and g. O. P. Candidates know it. It was former Texas Governor rick perry today. I dont think Donald Trumps remarks reflect the republican party. Reporter new Jersey Governor Chris Christie took trump on, too. There have been certain elements of our matter have been unfriendlily to elements of our population, including the latino community, and we need to change that. Reporter trumps republican opponents were initially reluctant to weigh in, worried he would turn that sharp tongue on them. Clearly, scott they decide staying silent carries the own risks.

Costell oh, the 67yearold former editor of the boston hearld, was airlifted to a hospital where he is listed as being in good condition. The recent spate of shark attacks has left many beachgoers nervous. The carolinas is not particularly a place where would would expect reporter dr. Samuel gruber is the director of the bimini sharklab in the bahamass. I think something triangle is going on because the trend is normally zero or one attacks in that area in any one year. Reporter theories as to why this is happening range from time of day to bait fishing sea turtle migration, lunar cycles and global warming. Gruber says there is more than 500 ciens of sharks inhabiting every Marine Environment and fresh water too. There are some sharks that are highly coastal that will swim right up on the beach. Theyll even chase fish out on to the beach out of the water to get the fish. Reporter the data we do have is based on human not shark behavior. But the real question you have to ask yourself is where do people swim in people swim in warm waters like florida, and so you have more people in the water with more sharks, youre likely to get more shark attacks. Reporter the Florida Museum of Natural Science says your chance of being bitten by a shark are one in 11. 5 million. Still, the National Park serves has sent out a shark warning.
