    Employed persons (Current Population Survey)

    Persons 16 years and over in the civilian noninstitutional population who, during the reference week, (a) did any work at all (at least 1 hour) as paid employees; worked in their own business, profession, or on their own farm, or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers in an enterprise operated by a member of the family; and (b) all those who were not working but who had jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily absent because of vacation, illness, bad weather, childcare problems, maternity or paternity leave, labor-management dispute, job training, or other family or personal reasons, whether or not they were paid for the time off or were seeking other jobs. Each employed person is counted only once, even if he or she holds more than one job. Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted of work around their own house (painting, repairing, or own home housework) or volunteer work for religious, charitable, and other organizations.

    Yes, let's trust a Zero Hedge chart that looks like it was made on MS Paint. Very scientific!

  4. USA Today - 4 things we learned on MLB Opening Day: Mike Trout, Angels' misery will continue

    The Angels are pretty bad

    The first game of the Los Angeles Angels' life after Shohei Ohtani began Thursday much the same way that seemingly every other game has gone for the team in the past decade or so: Mike Trout homered and the Angels lost.

    The three-time MVP went long in his first at-bat of the season to give Los Angeles an early lead over the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. The Angels surrendered their advantage minutes later and wound up giving up 11 unanswered runs en route to an 11-3 loss.

    Opening Day starter Patrick Sandoval got five outs and gave up five earned runs. The Angels managed just one hit after Trout's homer. Should be a fun season!

    How else do you stream MLB. I use Firefox on my PC connected to TV with a HDMI cable. I have no idea how to watch other than that.

    There's an MLB app but not all TV platforms are supported (LG comes to mind as one that does not support the MLB app). I run the MLB app on Fire TV stick.
