Strong US growth likely drove healthy job gain in July
Christopher Rugaber Associated Press Published 10:56 p.m. UTC Aug 3, 2018 Washington – With a robust economy at their backs, optimistic employers likely added jobs at a solid pace in July. Economists forecast that employers added 191,000 jobs last month, down from 213,000 in June but easily enough to lower the unemployment rate over time. The jobless rate is projected to decline to 3.9 percent, near an 18-year low, from 4 percent. The Labor Department’s monthly jobs report will be released at 8:30 a.m. Friday. Consumers are spending freely and businesses are stepping up their investment in buildings and equipment, boosting growth even as the economic expansion enters its tenth year. That’s raising demand for workers in industries ranging from manufacturing to construction to health care. The economy expanded at a 4.1 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter, the strongest showing in nearly four years. Oil and gas companies were a big driver: They nearly … [Read more...] about Strong US growth likely drove healthy job gain in July

Fortnite tutors are a thing. And yes, parents are paying them
Caroline Blackmon Detroit Free Press Published 3:46 p.m. UTC Aug 1, 2018 It's turned kids into couch potatoes. It's caused pro-athletes to crash and burn at their jobs. It's even infiltrated daily conversations with its own vocabulary. Fortnite arrived on the scene last July as a free-to-play shooter by Epic Games. But it started off as less than a success when it was first released. Then, in September 2017, Epic added a free-to-play "battle royale" mode,where 100 players on a large island fight for survival. That's when it exploded. It captured the Minecraft generation with its free play, bright graphics and ridiculous costumes.
