Montclair Democrats To Kick Off 12 By 28 Campaign – A Call For Legislature and Governor Mikie Sherrill to Initiate Immediate Congressional Redistricting in New Jersey - https://t.co/hujoUVD9Ub
UPDATE: I was honored to erase from our triage clinic’s white board the 42nd detainee released and reunited with his family — a young man I met when I visited Delaney Hall two weeks ago.
As the Trump administration weaponizes immigration courts and expedites cases without regard to due process, our district triage center is holding the line to stand up for the rule of law and human dignity.
Thank you to my dedicated staff and our relentless partners who refuse to let our immigrant communities face this terror alone.
What does the job market look like today?
Let’s take a look at 3 stats that can give insight into this question — job openings, unemployment, and wages.
The latest jobs data shows us:
🔻6.87 million job openings in March: a drop of 86,000 jobs YoY
🔺4.3% unemployment rate in April: increased by 1.4 percentage points from 3.9% in April 2025
🔻$1,283 average weekly wages in April: down 1.7% after a recent peak in January 2026 ($1,305) and only down 0.2% compared to April 2025 ($1,286)
Hiring demand, unemployment, and wages all tell different parts of the same story. Based on these data, how do you think the labor market is doing?
