The U.S. labor market grew emphatically last month, adding 256,000 jobs and taking down the unemployment rate to 4.1 percent from the anticipated 4.2 percent. While that would be an enticing picture of an economy in health, it puts a damper on households and businesses who could have hoped for quick interest-rate cuts to lower the cost of borrowing for houses, cars, or even appliances. According to the Labor Department, the biggest job gains were notched up in healthcare, at 46,000; retail, at 43,000; and government jobs at the federal, state, and local levels, at 33,000. The unexpected surge underlines the resilience of the labor market, even as interest rates sit significantly higher than pre-pandemic…

Confetti rained down on him as he stood with raised arms and shut eyes, seeming to say, “See? I told you I could do it!” That had always been a dream come true for Sawyer, who as a kid in a scarlet-and-gray jersey played catch behind his yard. A dream came into reality during a Friday night college football playoff semifinal at the Cotton Bowl. Changing of GameWith just more than two minutes remaining, Texas was an inch away from tying the game and maybe heading into overtime.
