 La tasa de desempleo en Estados Unidos bajó una décima en marzo y se situó en el 3.5 %, una de las más bajas en los últimos 50 años, según datos publicados este viernes por la Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales (BLS, por sus siglas en inglés).En el tercer mes del año se crearon 236,000 nuevos puestos de trabajo, 75,000 menos que en febrero, de manera que 5.8 millones de estadounidenses se encuentran sin empleo.Con el aumento de las tasas de interés de la Reserva Federal para frenar la inflación, lo que se esperaba era ver un crecimiento laboral sostenido, por lo que el reporte de marzo es alentador para el gobierno de Joe Biden. Incluso, podría indicar que el país se está alejando de una posible recesión.Si se comparan los reportes de los últimos meses, las cifras de marzo podrían decepcionar a algunos sectores, teniendo cuenta que en enero se crearon 472,000 empleos y 326,000 puestos de trabajo en febrero. Esos 236,000 puestos de trabajo en marzo están por debajo de las expectativa...

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:11:48 GMT

VENTURA COUNTY, CA. (WSVN) – Two former teachers of Donda Academy, a private school, owned by Kanye West are suing for $1 million, claiming wrongful termination.“Things were just chaotic, there was no order, they didn’t have sound curriculum. My other serious complaint was that children were being given sushi every day, that was it. From January 17th until March 3rd the kids had sushi for lunch,” said Cecilia Hailey, one of the teachers suing. Hailey and her daughter, Chekarey Byers, claimed they were fired from Donda Academy in March in retaliation for reporting code violations. The suit also stated wages were often incorrect, the school didn’t have a nurse, and medications, sometimes expired, were stored in an unsecured closet.West has not commented on this matter.
