US applications for jobless benefits rise last week, but layoffs remain historically low
WASHINGTON (AP) — More Americans filed for unemployment benefits last week, but U.S. layoffs remain in the same historically healthy range of the past few years. Applications for unemployment benefits for the week ending Aug. 16 rose by 11,000 to 235,000, the Labor Department reported Thursday. That's slightly more than the 229,000 new applications that economists had forecast. Weekly applications for jobless benefits are seen as a proxy for layoffs and have mostly settled in a historically healthy range between 200,000 and 250,000 since the U.S. began to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic more than three years ago. While layoffs remain low by historical comparisons, there has been noticeable deterioration in the labor market this year and mounting evidence that people are having difficulty finding jobs. U.S. employers added just 73,000 jobs in July, well short of the 115,000 analysts forecast. Worse, revisions to the May and June figures shaved 258,000 jobs off previous estimates and the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2% from 4.1%. That report sent financial markets spiraling, spurring President Donald Trump to fire Erika McEntarfer, the head of Bureau of Labor Statistics, which tallies the monthly employment numbers. The BLS does not contribute to the weekly unemployment benefits report except to calculate the annual seasonal adjustments. The BLS reported earlier this week that the unemployment rate in Washington, D.C. eclipsed 6% in July, the third straight month that it was the highest in the U.S. The rising D.C. jobless rate is a reflection of the mass layoffs of federal workers by Trump's Department of Government Efficiency earlier this year. An overall decline in international tourism — a main driver of D.C.'s income — is also expected to have an impact on the climbing unemployment rate in the District. Neighboring states of Maryland and Virginia, where many federal employees reside, also saw an uptick in unemployment rates in July. Since the beginning of Trump's second term, federal workers across government agencies have been either laid off or asked to voluntarily resign, spurring lawsuits from labor unions and advocacy groups. Another recent report on the U.S. labor market showed that employers posted 7.4 million job vacancies in June, down from 7.7 million in May. The number of people quitting their jobs — a sign of confidence in finding a better job — fell in June to the lowest level since December. Some major companies have announced job cuts this year, including Procter & Gamble, Dow, CNN, Starbucks, Southwest Airlines, Microsoft, Google and Facebook parent company Meta. Intel and The Walt Disney Co. also recently announced staff reductions. Many economists contend that Trump's erratic rollout of tariffs against U.S. trading partners has created uncertainty for employers, who have grown reluctant to expand their payrolls. The Labor Department's report Thursday showed that the four-week average of claims, which softens some of the week-to-week swings, rose by 4,500 to 226,500. The total number of Americans collecting unemployment benefits for the previous week of Aug. 9 jumped by 30,000 to 1.97 million, the most since November 6, 2021. Solve the daily Crossword

Economic impact of US tariffs will be key for US rating, says S&P analyst
By Davide Barbuscia NEW YORK (Reuters) -S&P Global Ratings' decision to affirm its U.S. credit rating reflected the impact of tariff revenues, but questions remain on the economic outcome of U.S. trade policies that could influence the country's rating in the next few years, the primary analyst on the U.S. said. S&P on Monday affirmed its "AA+" credit rating on the U.S., saying the revenue from President Donald Trump's tariffs has the potential to offset the fiscal hit from his massive tax-cut and spending bill. S&P, which became the first ratings agency to cut the pristine U.S. government rating in 2011, said the outlook on the U.S. rating remains stable. "Outcomes are what's really going to weigh and inform the rating," Lisa Schineller, primary U.S. analyst at S&P Global Ratings, said in an interview. "The outcomes of how you execute the budgetary legislation, how the tariff revenue comes, their combined impact on growth and investment that leads to either better or worse or similar fiscal out-turns, that's our focus," she said.

Columbus-area Rep. Allison Russo to run for Ohio secretary of state in 2026
A top Democratic lawmaker will run for secretary of state in 2026. Rep. Allison Russo, D-Upper Arlington, announced her campaign Aug. 21, weeks after she stepped down from her position as House minority leader. Ohio's current secretary of state, Republican Frank LaRose, is term limited next year and running for state auditor. Russo told the statehouse bureau that she wants to restore public trust in elections and depoliticize the secretary of state's office. "I think there's a lot of justified distrust in many of these offices, especially the secretary of state, because time and time again this office has tried to manipulate voters," Russo said. "It starts there with taking the partisanship out of it, not putting thumbs on the scale." Russo is the second Democrat to announce a bid for secretary of state, setting up a primary if both candidates remain in the race. Cincinnati doctor Bryan Hambley launched his campaign in January and has the backing of Senate Minority Leader Nickie Antonio, D-Lakewood, according to his website. Hambley welcomed Russo to the race, saying democracy thrives on a 'competition of ideas.' 'My fellow Ohioans have told me, loud and clear, that Ohio needs new voices in state government and a less partisan secretary of state,' he said in a statement. 'This is why I am running: to make our elections fair and ensure Ohioans can hold politicians accountable.' Ohio Treasurer Robert Sprague, who is term limited in his current role, is running on the Republican side. "They are playing musical chairs because they've been blocked out of running for governor, which is what most of them wanted to do," Russo said of Ohio's GOP officials. "Regardless of who my opponent is, I'm in this to restore transparency and integrity back to the secretary of state's office." Russo was first elected to the Ohio House in 2018 − flipping what used to be a Republican seat − and served as minority leader for more than three years. She worked in health care policy before launching her career in public office. What does Ohio secretary of state do? The secretary of state wears multiple hats, chief among them being the role of Ohio's top election official. That person also sits on the Ohio Redistricting Commission and chairs the Ohio Ballot Board, which approves the ballot language for statewide issues. Russo credited LaRose for his focus on cybersecurity, but she contends he mismanaged the office in other ways. During his tenure, LaRose has faced criticism for voter purges and approving ballot language that differed substantially from the proposed amendments. LaRose is also a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, who recently floated plans to crack down on mail-in voting and voting machines, Reuters reported. LaRose repeatedly says Ohio elections, which allow absentee voting by mail, are effective and secure. "Many of the actions that we see coming from the president of the United States have been to prevent people from voting, period, and to rig elections," Russo said. "I think Ohioans have seen the damage that gets done when elections are rigged." State government reporter Haley BeMiller can be reached at hbemiller@ or @haleybemiller on X.
