sg7771 Former officials urge closed-door Senate hearings on Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's pick for intel chiefJob cuts in the United States accelerated in November, with employers announcing 57,727 layoffs, a 3.8 percent increase from October and 26.8 percent higher than the same month last year, according to a report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a Chicago, Illinois-based global outplacement and career transitioning firm. The November figure marks the fourth-highest for the month since the financial crisis of 2008–09, as economic pressures mount across key industries. In terms of industries most affected by layoffs, the automotive sector led with 11,506 job cuts in November, the highest monthly total since April, as the industry faces challenges such as potential tariffs, competition from Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers, and shifting government subsidies. While still significant, layoffs in the technology sector have slowed somewhat compared to last year. Employers in the tech sector announced 10,231 job cuts in November, according to the Challenger report, for a year-to-date total of 130,701—a 20 percent drop from the 163,562 cuts through November last year. “November saw downstream cuts to automotive suppliers and parts manufacturers, as well as ongoing cuts in consumer and industrial manufacturing. Technology also saw a high number of layoff announcements, as that sector continues to undergo significant changes,” Andrew Challenger, senior vice president of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, said in a statement. The health care and health care products sector, excluding hospitals, has also been a notable contributor to job cuts this year. Employers in this sector announced 47,249 layoffs through November, an 18 percent decline compared with the 57,758 cuts announced during the same period in 2023. “Health care is experiencing similar challenges to the automotive industry, in that regulatory and policy changes, as well as leadership changes, has led to increased volatility. Labor disputes and new technologies are also causing workforce realignments,” Challenger said. The media industry—encompassing television, film, streaming, and news—announced 1,017 layoffs in November, the highest monthly total since February. Year to date, media layoffs reached 14,549, down 28 percent from the same period last year. News organizations, a subset of the media category, reported a sharp 48 percent increase in year-to-date layoffs compared to the same period in 2023, reflecting ongoing challenges in digital and traditional publishing. Regionally, the Eastern United States saw the largest rise in layoffs, with job cuts increasing 20.4 percent compared to 2023, driven by significant cuts in the District of Columbia and Rhode Island, according to Challenger. The South, by contrast, experienced a 23.5 percent decline in job cuts, led by sharp reductions in Florida and Tennessee. “Claims remain low by long-run standards, but still high enough to perpetuate the rising trend in the unemployment rate, given very modest hiring,” said Samuel Tombs, chief U.S. economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics.

North East sees increase in green jobs, report saysFormula 1 legend Michael Schumacher’s family is celebrating the happy news he is set to become a grandfather for the first time with the racing icon’s son weighing in. Daughter Gina and her husband Iain Bethke took to social media this week to reveal they were expecting their first child, a baby girl, next year. Gina, a professional horse rider, shared the news with a series of adorable photos on Instagram . Know the news with the 7NEWS app: Download today The photos showed a pony next to a saddle, mini cowboy boots, a denim jacket and a bunch of pink balloons. “My new rider, coming April 2025,” a sign says in front of the pony. The post is captioned: “Impatiently awaiting the arrival of our little girl.” It will be the first grandchild of Michael and Corinna Schumacher, who also have a son, Mick, together. The news was celebrated by the entire family, including by soon-to-be uncle Mick, who commented “so excited” and a love heart on his sister’s post. Mick, who followed in his father’s footsteps to become a professional race car driver, recently left the Formula 1 to pursue a career in the FIA World Endurance Championship. Gina shares memories of her father on his birthday each January. “Happy birthday Papa! Throwback to one of many of our adventures,” she wrote this year, sharing a photo of herself with Mick and Michael before a skydive. Last year’s post included the trademark hashtag #keepfighting. Gina and Iain married in September in Mallorca. There were initial reports that Schumacher attended the ceremony, but former F1 star and friend Johnny Herbert called those rumours “fake news” . Schumacher has not been seen by people outside his extremely strict inner-circle since the fateful ski accident that almost took his life in 2013. His exact condition is unknown, at the will of Corinna, who has kept it notoriously and meticulously private since the accident in the French Alps. So the recent wedding sighting obviously created a huge stir. The wedding was held in a $50 million Spanish villa, and security was also hired to, supposedly to protect Schumacher from “the possibility of attention from outside the wedding”. The villa was reportedly converted into “a medical sanctuary” that could provide hospital-level care around the clock for the seven-time F1 world champion. Doctors and nurses were also reportedly present, and details about guests having their phones confiscated at the door all added fuel to the fire. But Herbert has hosed down the flames last month . “It (Schumacher’s life) will always be a closed shop,” Herbert said. “The most recent rumour was he attended his daughter’s wedding. “Unfortunately, from what I understand, that was all A1 fake news and no truth in it.” In May this year the Schumacher family settled a high-profile dispute with a German magazine. Schumacher appeared on the front cover of German publication Die Aktuelle in April 2023 under the headline “Michael Schumacher, the first interview”. The publishers left a small hint on the front page that it wasn’t real, with a strap saying the interview “sounded deceptively real”. But the article otherwise appeared real, with artificially generated ‘quotes’ from Schumacher about his health and family. The Schumacher family received compensation payment of 200,000 euros ($327,065 AUD) for the fake interview which used artificial intelligence.

Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Arc. Ahmed Musa Dangiwa, has reaffirmed the commitment of the Federal Government to renovating, safeguarding and optimising the value of its assets nationwide while enforcing strict compliance with land administration laws. The Minister made the declaration during a Stakeholders-Citizens Engagement on Land Administration held at Victoria Crown Plaza Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, on Friday.

Arc. Dangiwa, in his remarks, emphasised the resolve of the Ministry under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu to restore order in federal land and asset management. “In line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, the Ministry is resolved to ensure strict adherence to the provisions of the law regarding the control and administration of its assets to maintain order. “We have resolved to optimize these facilities and put them to good use so they can provide value to the government and Nigerians. Our aim is to fast-track the completion of housing projects to increase the stock of affordable housing for Nigerians in Lagos,” he noted. The Minister also noted that the interactive session was a critical step toward improving land administration in Lagos and delivering on the ministry’s promise of affordable housing and urban development for all Nigerians. Issues that came up during the stakeholders engagement amongst others were payment of double ground rates, issuance of C of Os, canal discharge and flooding in some Federal Government Estates, land ownership litigation and compensation, and deplorable road infrastructure in some estates. “The Ministry is ready to address the myriad of such challenges, hence the stakeholder – citizens engagement for the ministry to understand the needs and concerns of the citizens with the view to identifying areas for improvement,” Dangiwa stated.ILO empowers Nigerian communitiesChatGPT Projects announced — and it's one of the most important AI releases this yearKalen DeBoer knows what’s at stake for Alabama against Oklahoma
