US corporations’ hiring plans last year totaled 769,953 workers, the fewest since 2015, according to the labor research firm Challenger, Grey, and Christmas. Private sector data shows that the need to hire new employees for all of last year was the lowest in nearly a decade. The ADP report showed that there were just 122k jobs created in December.

In an Italian television interview, the pontiff said it would be a “disgrace” if Trump went forward with the plan, in unusually forceful language for the leader of the global Catholic Church. “It would make the migrants, who have nothing, pay the unpaid bill,” said the pope. “It doesn’t work. You don’t resolve problems this way.” The pope’s remarks were made during a video link from his Vatican…

NORTH CHARLESTON, South Carolina (Reuters) – U.S. President Joe Biden welcomed a ceasefire in Gaza on Sunday and said hundreds of trucks were entering the seaside enclave to help its civilians. “Today the guns in Gaza have gone silent,” Biden said in brief remarks during a visit to North Charleston, South Carolina. “We anticipate several hundred trucks will enter the Gaza Strip probably just as I am speaking.” Most civilians in the Gaza Strip have been displaced during 15 months of Israeli bombardment aimed at eliminating the Hamas militants who attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

By Trevor Hunnicutt NORTH CHARLESTON, South Carolina (Reuters) – U.S. President Joe Biden urged despondent fellow Democrats not to give up hope as he returned to the warm embrace of South Carolina’s Black churchgoing community to mark the final full day of his presidency on Sunday. Biden leaves office on Monday, ending a four-year term that leaves his Democratic Party in the political wilderness when he hands the office back to Republican rival Donald Trump, whom Democrats consider a threat to democracy. At the Royal Missionary Baptist Church in North Charleston, Biden was remembered fondly by political allies and received…
The path to financial independence is a journey, not a destination. There are lessons to learn along the way. Last year was one for the record books as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite each hit new record highs at multiple points throughout the year. Furthermore, the bull market continued to gain ground, passing its second anniversary in October, though it’s taking a well-deserved breather as we head into 2025. Closing the door on the old and ringing in the new year is a great time for reflection, and as an avid investor, my first stop…
