JEFFREY BROWN:And now: the tough labor market for younger workers. A new report finds underemployment among recent college graduatesthat is, young adults working in a job that does not require a degreehas jumped to 45 percent. The terrain is especial
JEFFREY BROWN:There was good news today on the jobs front. The Labor Department reported that U.S. employers added 195,000 jobs in June, well above forecasts. The unemployment rate remained at 7.6 percent, as more people came into the job market, ano
Well, we got to see Edward Snowden for the first time in some time, publicly, on camera. Now that that day is ending in Moscow, are we any clearer about what his situation is? ELLEN BARRY, The New York Times: I think so. I mean, for one thing, we kno
Today, Snowden met with human rights activists and Russian politicians at the airport. A Russian news Web site showed video of the first time he had been seen since arriving from Hong Kong on June 23. Tatiana Lokshina of Human Rights Watch was at the
KWAME HOLMAN: Detroit declared bankruptcy today, the largest American city ever to do so. The city's state-appointed emergency manager made the filing with a federal judge. It would let him liquidate assets in a bid to pay off creditors and city pens
JUDY WOODRUFF: And we turn to the government's probe of financial giant J.P. Morgan, and specifically two former employees charged today with covering up huge losses. The case is tied to more than $6 billion in trading losses early last year. A team
JUDY WOODRUFF: And to the analysis of Shields and Brooks. That is syndicated columnist Mark Shields and New York Times columnist David Brooks. Welcome, gentlemen, together again. So we -- we start with a pretty tough story, Mark, and that is what's h
JEFFREY BROWN:And now to the continuing debate over the government's role in the economy and the decisions taken in the aftermath of the financial crisis. Earlier this week, we aired a conversation with David Stockman, a businessman and former White
MARGARET WARNER:Five days and counting with plenty of tit-for-tat charges, but no agreement in sight, that, in short, summed up the state of affairs in Washington today as the fiscal cliff deadline loomed, Jan. 1. It would mean more than $600 billion
JUDY WOODRUFF:Negotiators in Washington signaled publicly today that there had been little progress in reaching a deal to avert the fiscal cliff with 19 days to go until a year-end deadline. REP. JOHN BOEHNER, R-Ohio: I remain the most optimistic per
JEFFREY BROWN:Whither the economy? That's been the question for quite a while now. Today, there was a surprising and perhaps confusing new twist. The Commerce Department reported that gross domestic product actually shrank in the last quarter of 2012
HARI SREENIVASAN: And to another NewsHour correspondent overseas, Ray Suarez in Davos, Switzerland. He's moderating panels at the World Economic Forum, where there's been talk about the future of the European Union. We spoke earlier this evening. Ray
JUDY WOODRUFF:Finally tonight: The U.S. Senate turned its attention to huge trading losses at J.P. Morgan Chase, the country's largest bank. Ray Suarez has the story. INA DREW, Former J.P. Morgan Chase Executive: The fact that these mistakes happened
MARGARET WARNER:For more, we turn to Liz Alderman of The New York Times in Nicosia, Cyprus. And, Liz, thank you for joining us. Tell us more about these depositors who are going to take the hit for this, who are going to finance this, essentially. Ho
JUDY WOODRUFF:American employers added 88,000 jobs in March, the smallest gain in nine months, raising new fears that the recovery may be slowing down. New hiring last month was a sharp decline from the previous two months; 268,000 new jobs were adde
JEFFREY BROWN:Yes, taxes are due on Monday. And, yes, once again, tax reform is in the air. It's been more than a quarter-century since the last overhaul, and now President Obama and key leaders in both parties say they'd like to work on simplifying
JEFFREY BROWN:And next to the Bangladesh building disaster. It's now the worst ever for the country's booming clothing industry, with more than 300 killed. Ray Suarez has the story. RAY SUAREZ:Wailing relatives tried to console one another as the dea
GWEN IFILL:Since the earliest days of the Web, buying goods online has often come with one often-not-quite-legal perk: no sales tax. But that may be about to change. The Senate has cleared the way for a new law that would allow states to collect taxe
JEFFREY BROWN:Solid job growth in April and positive revisions to previous months. Today's Labor Department figures eased worries about the U.S. economy. In all, the economy added 165,000 jobs last month, primarily in the private sector, retail, rest
RAY SUAREZ:Overall, it was the best jobs report since 2009. To help us look at developments big and small behind the numbers, we turn to Diane Swonk, senior managing director and chief economist for Mesirow Financial, a diversified financial services
