Number of Open Jobs Surges, but Employers Are Hiring Less

Job openings soared 8 percent to 5.75 million, the most since records began in 2000, the Labor Department said.

When inflation gets to 4% annually the economy will be recovering.
Employers are not offering higher wages. Labor remains in surplus.

In California, Olive Oil Tourism Is on the Rise

Many makers of artisan olive oil in California are opening their estates to the public, providing tours and oil samplings.

Minnesota: Five in Family Found Dead in Home

Three children were among those found dead in an upscale Minneapolis suburb in what police said appeared to be a murder-suicide.

There will be a further report.
I can wait for the details.

Food

Sussman Brothers Expand in Berg’n

Ed & Bev’s Detroit-Style Coney Island is serving Sussman versions of diner dishes like saganaki and Greek salad.

I have not spent much time in Detroit.
I got to the Ford museum and the art museum and walked a few blocks.

I was not impressed by the food.
A Greek diner is a good bet in a strange town.

For Others Left Standing, a Tall Challenge in Serena Williams

Odds are that it will require something resembling the match of a lifetime to deny Williams’s bid for a Grand Slam: The other U.S. Open semifinalists have a combined one victory against her.

Serena is defeated.

Questions Arise as the United States Is Beaten Handily by Brazil

Brazil’s victory over the United States national team was little more than a full-speed workout for its players.

"I have no dog in this fight."
The U.S. will improve as we play more.

Virginia Sheriff Releases Video of Effort to Subdue Inmate Who Died

The case added to the recent outcry about the treatment of African-Americans by the police and raised questions about treatment of the mentally ill in prison.

New Data Gives Clearer Picture of Student Debt

The increases in debt and default rates are concentrated among students at for-profit and community colleges, even though those students borrow less on average.

Knowing more does not help.
High risk students are high risk.
