Description

The economy added 943,000 jobs in July, the best pace in nearly a year and nearly 100,000 more than economists expected. Kate Moore, head of thematic strategy for BlackRock’s global allocation team, Austan Goolsbee, former Council of Economic Advisers chairman, break down the numbers. CNN has terminated three of its employees for lying about their Covid-19 vaccination statuses and coming to the office, according to a memo sent to staff internally. Tom Gimbel, founder and CEO of staffing firm LaSalle Network, and Kate Kelly, reporter at The New York Times, discuss return to work policies and corporate America’s role in leading the next wave of vaccinations. United Airlines will require its 67,000 U.S. employees to get vaccinated against Covid by no later than Oct. 25th; those unwilling to comply will risk termination. CNBC’s Phil LeBeau says this move will likely ramp up pressure on other major U.S. carriers to follow suit. CNBC’s Kate Rogers reports on the teacher shortage ahead of a new school year. Plus, Virgin Galactic announced it will sell seats for space tourism flights, starting at $450,000.
