US hiring and wage growth stepped down in June while the jobless rate rose to the highest since late 2021, bolstering prospects that the Federal Reserve will begin cutting interest rates in coming months. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 206,000 and job growth in the prior two months was revised down by 111,000, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for a 190,000 increase.

The Labor Department reported on Friday that the U.S. added a solid 206,000 jobs last month, slightly beating expectations and continuing a remarkably strong run. But the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.1%, a sign of slack in a labor market that has already shown some hints of gradually slowing down. There were other indications as well that the job market is continuing to cool. Average hourly earnings were up 3.9% in June from a year earlier, marking their smallest gain since...

Those searching for the moment Labour’s election landslide was confirmed should look no further than 3:15 a.m. on Friday. That was when the seat of West Bromwich flipped from Conservative to Labour with a majority of nearly 10,000 — despite Keir Starmer’s party only growing its vote share by four points. Most of the 27-point drop in Conservative support in the West Midlands seat was likely driven by Reform UK, the insurgent right-wing party led by Nigel Farage, which won 20% of the vote.

President Joe Biden is facing an uprising from some his own party’s wealthy donors, including an heiress to the Disney family fortune, who say they will no longer fund the Democratic Party until Biden drops out of the presidential race following his disastrous debate performance. Abigail Disney, granddaughter of Roy O. Disney, who co-founded The Walt Disney Co., told CNBC on Thursday that she plans to withhold donations to the party she has funded for years...

One of America’s political parties has a presidential candidate who is really old and showing it. The other has a presidential candidate who is a convicted felon, adjudicated sexual abuser, business fraudster and self-described aspiring dictator for a day. And also really old. One of the parties is up in arms about its nominee and trying to figure out how to replace him at the last minute. The other is not. The spectacle of the week since the nationally televised debate...

Elon Musk’s social media site X could face major fines over its alleged failure to police dangerous content – the latest move in an ongoing crackdown by European Union regulators against major tech firms. The commission had announced last December that they were probing X over the spread of illegal content and misinformation related to the Israel-Hamas war. The European Commission, the EU’s competition watchdog, is set to hit X with formal charges in the coming days, ...

President Joe Biden said he plans to stop scheduling events after 8 p.m. so that he gets more sleep. Biden’s remarks, first reported by The New York Times, came as a result of his performance debating former President Donald Trump last week. He sought to reassure a small group of Democratic governors amid growing calls to step aside from the presidential race. The 81-year-old has reportedly acknowledged that he “screwed up.”

Playing with the contrasts between generations has become a modern pastime, as baby boomers, Gen X, millennials and Gen Z see and experience the world quite differently. Generation gaps have always existed, of course, but the tech age has widened those gaps in big ways, sometimes creating challenges, but often resulting in hilarity.For instance, watching a Gen Zer try to figure out how to use a rotary phone is pure entertainment. The way emojis are used and interpreted varies vastly by age, making for some chuckle-worthy communication mishaps. Slang terms can be hard to keep up with the older you get, but they can also be manipulated by savvy elders to great comedic effect.And now, comedian Jake Lambert has compared how the different generations arrive at someone's house in a viral video that's been viewed more than 12 million times. "You've basically got boomers who will turn up completely unannounced any time from about 7:00 in the morning and they will knock on your door just slightly louder than the police using a battering ram carrying out a house raid," Lambert begins."And then you've got Gen X. They would have made the plans well in advance, and they would've also checked in a couple of days before just to make sure the plans are definitely still happening," he went on. "You see, Gen X is the forgotten generation and they're so scarred by this title they would've assumed that you'd forgotten not only about the plans but about their very existence." See on Instagram "Millennials will have hoped that the plans would've been canceled. There's no reason that a millennial will ever actually want to come to your house," he continued. "They will arrive late, but they will text you to let you know they're on their way, just as they're about to get into the shower. And a millennial will never knock on your door. You'll just get a text either saying 'here' or 'outside,' and that's your cue to go and let them in.""Similarly, Gen Z will never actually knock," he concluded. "But the chances are they won't have to, as they would have been documenting the entire journey from their house to yours, maybe even on Facetime using this angle [camera facing directly up at the chin] as they go along for some reason. Either that or they'll just send a picture of your front door or a selfie of them outside it. And again, just like the millennial, that's your cue to go and rescue them from the outside world."People felt alternately seen, attacked and validated by Lambert's assessments, with the most common response being "accurate." "I‘m a millennial, my husband GenX. Scarily accurate! ?""Described this millennial to a T.""This is surprisingly accurate ? I laughed slightly louder than the police using a battering ram…""Sooo accurate…guilty of the lateness and ‘here’ text ?""I must admit I'm a millennial. But knocking on the door feels so aggressive, uknow? ??""Millennial texting to say almost there but just started getting dressed to go out. Why do we do this? It's not intentional, at least not for me.""Honestly your observations are just brilliant! GenX-er here!""The Gen Z angle omg ??"Some people didn't resonate with their generation's description, but there are exceptions to every rule and some people will never fit a stereotype. However, judging by the wave of affirmative responses, Lambert nailed the generational generalities across the board—and did so in a way that allows us all to laugh at ourselves.You can follow Jake Lambert on Instagram.
