than anybody thought. what we re seeing is a big summer hiring boom completely fizzled in september. it was a hurricane, don t forget. there was a delta variant that really was picking up speed and people are going back to school trying to get their kids back to school at the same time. you have an unemployment rate that fell to 4.8%. which is in a normal time would be almost full employment. that s a number on the surface that looks good. you don t see the massive hiring you need to go along with that. couple of things happening here. people still leaving the labor market, especially women. and we have got the participation rate fell, meaning fewer americans are actually considering themselves in the labor market. and we also have seen a lot of new business creation, so could also be that the government surveyors are calling households and saying are you employed and they say, yes. but when they call companies, companies aren t necessarily adding the big jobs. so that could
with the investigation, cnn reports this, questions asked of two recent witnesses indicate smith is focusing on how money raised off those baseless claims of voter fraud was used to fund attempts to breach voting equipment in several states won by joe biden and squarely in jack smith s sights, unindicted co-conspirator number three, that s trump co-defendant attorney sidney powell. cnn reports this, quote, according to sources, witnesses interviewed by jack smith s prosecutors in recent weeks were asked about powell s role in the hunt for evidence of vote fraud after the 2020 election. including how her nonprofit group defending the republic provided money to fund those efforts. if team trump was literally trying to break into the voting machines after the fact, then the truth spun by chris krebs about the security of the 2020 election was a real fly in the ointment. there is no foreign power that is flipping votes. there is no domestic actor flipping votes. i did it right.

We re seeing major outbreaks in schools throughout our entire state. kids in general do not get as severely ill as often and we should acknowledge that. they can also serve as major sources of spread in the community. so that we do have to worry about grandpa and grandma and mom and dad and older brothers and sisters getting infected from them. getting those 28 million kids 5 to 11 years old vaccinated wouldn t be really helpful. we got a job on our hands to get that done, because turning a vaccine into a vaccination in that group is going to be harder than it had been for the 12 to 17-year-olds. it is such an essential message, the pandemic throughout, right, the vaccination is not just about protecting yourself, right, but protecting others and stemming the spread. let s hope it get lose it tow m let s hope it gets through to more people. several of state s largest school districts will be punished for defying a rule banning mask mandates.
