What does that mean for the economy . Lets begin right there with Cnn Business Anchor julia chatterly. Good morning, jim. Make no mistake, this was a strong Jobs Report. The u. S. Economy adding back 943,000 jobs in the month of july, not the only good news today, though, too, we saw positive revisions to the prior two months adding back around 100,000 extra jobs we werent expecting.

What youre looking at is 38 states seeing at least a 50 increase in cases. Those are the deep red states there on the map. 38 of them. And while that is bad, the director of the cdc said things can still get worse. Los angeles county, a place that has seen that had seen Cases Drop to low levels, is now reinstating its indoor Mask Mandate regardless of ration status. An effort to battle this new surge in cases. Health officials say this. Note this. All Covid Patients now in hospitals there are unvaccinated. Unvaccinated. All the patients in the hospitals.
