In today’s news update we discuss the March unemployment rate, autism awareness and the top 7 health care fears.
March Unemployment Rate Unchanged
The official U.S. unemployment rate in March remained unchanged at 9.7 percent, the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday.
A total of 162,000 new jobs were created on non-farm payrolls–the biggest one-month jobs gain in the past three years, but still well below what economists were predicting.
The cover of The Lakeland Times has gone blue today to mark World Autism Awareness Day, and to usher in April as World Autism Awareness Month.
It’s a reminder to “Light it up blue” this month and put the spotlight on autism and the seriousness of the neurodevelopment disorder.
The sweeping health care overhaul signed into law his month by President Barack Obama is more than 2,000 pages long and has been dissected by analysts, politicians and pundits. It’s no wonder that some consumers are confused – and perhaps frightened – about how the law might affect them. Some concerns were raised during the congressional debate or have been swirling around the Internet.
