The U.S. job market slumped last month, NPR Scott Horsley reports employers cut 23,000 jobs in July.
“>> The job cuts came in restaurants and retail shops as well as local government last month.”
Job gains for May and June were also revised sharply lower. Healthcare continued to add jobs last month, but at a modest pace.
The unemployment rate dipped to 4.1 percent, but only because more than 260,000 people dropped
out of the workforce. July was the second month in a row, the jobs report was weaker than four casters had expected. It suggested sluggish economic growth and rising prices are taking a toll on the labor market.
“Average wages for people who are working climb 3.2 percent over the last 12 months, but”
that's likely not enough to keep pace with inflation, so workers' paychecks aren't stretching as far as they used to.

General Judge did Smith's lawsuit filed by Apple, and PR's John Ruich reports the case alleges that former Apple employees who went to work for the AI company stole trade secrets. Open AI is developing consumer devices for artificial intelligence.
“Apple says former employees involved took confidential information, and that open AI soldered out Apple sued in July.”
In a motion filed in federal court, open AI says the Apple lawsuit is, quote, "rotten to its core and based on meritless claims." It says Apple launched the case without adequate investigation, and built it on selectively excerpted communications and lawful conduct presented out of context. It accuses Apple of trying to make up for its shortcomings in the market for talent and failures on the AI front by launching the lawsuit. The case highlights growing macaroni between one-time partners, and it could take years to play out, John Ruich and PR news.

About seven million people in the US are living with Alzheimer's disease, a degenerative brain condition for which there's no cure.
NPR's ping-long reports on a new development that could point towards a new direction for treatments. One of the primary markers of Alzheimer's disease is a protein called Tao in its long-tangled form. New research in the journal Neuron shows that under stress, Tao proteins enter mitochondria, the part of the cell that converts nutrients to energy. They reverse the process causing the release of toxic molecules. Bingway Loo is a professor at Stanford Medicine and senior author on the paper.
In Asia, we think this may actually help with organisms cope with this stress, but too much of this thing, you might actually kill neurons and cause this cognitive deficit. Loo and his colleagues conducted research on flies, mice, and lab grown neurons with signs of Alzheimer's. When the scientists blocked this process, each recovered and was more resilient to future stress, ping-hong and PR news.
