Back in May 2015, the US Office of Personnel Management — the agency in charge of coordinating the recruitment of federal employees — quietly discontinued a mobile app meant to make it easier to find and apply for government jobs. The app, which was designed as an extension of the official USAJOBS.gov online job search site, had previously been touted as evidence of the Obama administration’s push to adopt a path-breaking digital government strategy. The app no longer exists. The system was taken offline, a spokesperson for OPM told FedScoop, after a redesign of the regular USA JOBS website incorporated a new, mobile-first design. Today, a page that used to focus on mobile apps like the USA JOBS app redirects to the USAJOBS.gov help center, while a link to usa.gov site touting the system now displays a “Page Not Found” notice. The OPM spokesperson did not say how many used the original app before it was shut down.  But a fake with...

Agencies have a new way to connect with qualified early-career workers and move them from the Pathways Program into full-time federal jobs. Two new “talent programs” on USAJobs, which the Office of Personnel Management launched this week, aim to connect agency hiring managers with Pathways Program graduates eligible to transfer to a different agency once completing the program. Hiring managers can use the new platform to find lists of both interns and recent graduates who have finished the Pathways Program and are now looking for a permanent federal position. The lists of candidates are available to federal HR staff once they log in to the agency talent portal on USAJobs. “These talent programs allow agencies to reach out to promising individuals eager to advance their federal careers,” OPM Associate Director for Workforce Policy and Innovation Veronica Hinton wrote Wednesday in a memo to agency HR directors. “They facilitate a way for agencies to effectively identify Pathways interns or recent graduates to provide them...

The U.S. economy saw job creation cool sharply heading into the summer, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Thursday.Nonfarm payrolls for June increased by a seasonally adjusted 57,000 for the month, slower than the downwardly revised 129,000 added in May and worse than the 115,000 Dow Jones consensus forecast.The unemployment rate, however, dropped to 4.2%, slightly ahead of the 4.1% where it was a year ago.The move lower was largely due to a slump in the labor force participation rate, which dropped 0.3 percentage point to 61.5%, the lowest since March 2021. Household employment plummeted during the month, with 507,000 fewer people reported at work. A broader unemployment measure that includes discouraged workers and those holding part-time jobs for economic reasons declined by 0.2 percentage point to 7.9%.Prior months also saw significant downward revisions — the May total, which had been much stronger than economists had anticipated, was cut by 43,000, while April's figure came down 31,000 to 148,000 as...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump promised that 2026 would be a bumper year for economic growth, but instead it has kicked off with job losses, rising gasoline prices and more uncertainty about America's future. In his State of the Union address less than two weeks ago, the Republican president confidently told the country: "The roaring economy is roaring like never before." The latest batch of data on jobs, pump prices and the stock market suggests that Trump's roar has started to sound far more like a whimper. There is a gap between the boom that Trump has predicted and the volatile results he has produced — one that could set the tone in this year's midterm elections as he tries to defend his party's majorities in the House and Senate. With Trump's tariffs drama ongoing, the war in Iran has suddenly created inflationary concerns regarding oil and natural gas. To the White House, it is still early in the year and...

After a week of a nasty trade war with Canada, a worse-than-expected inflation report and a hawkish speech from Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh, the economy deals with something more prosaic this week.Multiple reports from the private sector and the federal government will provide updates to the state of the labor market. Friday is the big day, with the August jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics expected to show a gain of around 50,000. That would be a shift from the unexpected loss of 23,000 jobs in July.But some see the possibility for another negative number.“Payrolls likely fell for a second consecutive month in August,” Comerica Bank Chief Economist Bill Adams wrote on Monday morning. “The government ended temporary protected status for over 300,000 Haitians on July 27, also canceling their work authorization; 100,000 to 200,000 had been in the labor force.”The Best Cartoons on Donald Trump“The unemployment rate probably held steady despite lower payrolls because the workers...
