U.S. employers added jobs in May for the third month in a row, and Pierscott Horsesley reports that the unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%.
In a sign, the labor market is finding its footing.
Job gains from March and April were also revised upwards. Much of the hiring in May was in restaurants and local government, health care, which has been a steady source of job growth added another 35,000 jobs last month. Construction companies also added workers in May while banks and insurance companies cut jobs.
The share of people working or looking for work held steady during the month and the labor force grew slightly. Average wages in May were up 3.4% from a year ago.
“That may not be enough though to keep pace with rising prices.”
We'll get an update on May's inflation rate. Next week, Scott Horsesley and Pyrenees, Washington. The Democratic Republic of Congo is reporting more than 70 new confirmed Ebola cases, increasing the total number to just over 450. As Michael Coloky reports, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control Prevention wands the outbreak
could become the largest on record. Congolese authorities said that the new cases were in the country's Aatory and North Kivoprovinces, with officials warning that the latest figures demonstrated, quote, "rapid and continuous community transmission." Meanwhile, the CDC cautioned that without large-scale and sustained public health interventions,
this Ebola outbreak in DRC and Uganda could surpass the outbreak that started in West Africa in 2014. Earlier, the World Food Program said that unless they are enhanced response measures to the outbreak in Congo, the country's health and food crisis could worsen. For NPR News, this is NPR.
A new poll from NPR and Ipsos finds teachers across the U.S. are concerned about how artificial intelligence will affect students as AI plays a larger role in the classroom, Lee Gaines reports. Nearly three and four educators say they believe AI has bigger implications for education than past technological innovations like the internet or computers. Mallory Newell is a senior vice president with Ipsos.
We're in an environment where teachers feel like this is going to fundamentally reshape the future of education moving forward. The poll shows students aren't widely using AI in the classroom, at least not yet. Meanwhile, a majority of teachers say they've used AI to help with their
own work tasks. But more than half say AI makes it harder for students to learn critical thinking
skills. And the majority also think AI is mostly just a shortcut for students to avoid doing more work. For NPR News, I'm Lee Gaines.
