OPM wants to crack down on federal job site spoofs with USAJobs data change

September 8, 2026 by AdminNo Comments

The Office of Personnel Management is looking to prevent data on the federal government’s public job board, USAJobs, from making its way onto misleading websites. Last week, OPM updated terms of service for users of its USAJobs application programming interface (API) to include prohibitions on several actions related to the sale or redistribution of data from the website “to third parties as a standalone product or feed.” “Data provided to you through the API is for the explicit use of the requesting company or individual identified on the USAJOBS Program Office API Registration Form. No other use of the data provided is permitted without prior approval, in writing, from OPM USAJOBS,” said an emailed notice sent to API users, including FedScoop. While the reason for that change wasn’t initially clear, an OPM spokesperson told FedScoop via email Friday that the policy change is aimed at preventing “unauthorized services that appear to be USAJOBS or allow users to apply for federal jobs outside USAJOBS.” “These...

On Labor Day, GOP hypes job growth, Dems praise unions

September 7, 2026 by AdminNo Comments

Sept. 7, 2026, 3:00 p.m. ETIt's Labor Day, but as the midterms near, politicians take no days off, and their holiday messaging is falling along partisan lines. The White House and Republicans took the day to celebrate a recent win with the stronger-than-expected August jobs report, crediting President Donald Trump as a champion for American workers. Democrats took the day to message support for unions and organized labor, a group that has long supported the more-left party. Notably, in 2024, the union group International Brotherhood of Teamsters broke ranks with their decades of tradition endorsing Democrats and chose to not endorse Kamala Harris nor to back Trump. The White House touts Trump After a stronger-than-expected August jobs report on Friday, Sept. 4, just before Labor Day weekend, Republican messaging on the holiday fell in line with celebration. The White House kicked off the weekend on Saturday, Sept. 5, posting, "This Labor Day, we celebrate that more Americans are working than EVER before," and then on Labor Day saying "President Trump will never stop fighting for MADE IN AMERICA."The Republican Party – which is also spending the day promoting its first-ever midterm convention this week in...

Trump keeps heralding an economic boom, but even a solid jobs report is causing problems for him

September 7, 2026 by AdminNo Comments

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has spent 20 months promising that America was on the cusp of an economic boom. But Friday's surprisingly positive jobs report ultimately provoked frustration from Trump. The August job numbers might have been a welcome break from after months of sluggish hiring and concerns about inflation that have been weighing on Trump and his party two months from Election Day. But speaking from the Oval Office, Trump instead launched into a grievance session about inflation and interest rates. His anger was aimed at the financial markets, the Federal Reserve and U.S. trade partners. He objected to the commonly accepted notion in economics that the surprise gain of 162,000 jobs in August could contribute to inflationary pressures. "Success does not cause inflation. Stupidity causes inflation," Trump vented in the Oval Office, as he declared it "crazy" that the stock markets fell Friday on inflation concerns. The combination over his second term of a drop-off in hiring and higher...
