Stocks Jump on Strong Job Gains, Easing Worries About a Trade-Induced Recession
While equities reeled early in the week, President Donald Trump declared, “I don’t watch the stock market,” contrary to his many tweets touting records set by the major indexes since he has been in the White House. “Jobs are what I watch,” he added, quite presciently, as it turned out, when the Department of Labor on Friday morning delivered boffo employment numbers for November. The headline unemployment rate ticked down a tenth, to 3.5%, the result of a rather tepid 83,000 increase in the separate survey of households and a smaller, 40,000 rise in the labor force.

The next generation of threats to U.S. security could come from cyberattacks, and a potential worst-case scenario is an attack that completely shut down U.S. internet access nationwide. It may seem like a far-fetched idea that the entire nation could lose internet access for 24 hours or longer, but Russia is preparing for just that scenario. Back in May, Russia passed a law to create an internal parallel mirror of the internet that could be used to keep the country’s internet access up and running in the event of a cyberattack. How Much Does The Internet Add To The Economy?
