After a weak start to the year, hiring rebounded strongly in Colorado in February. But the number of people joining the labor force outpaced the number of jobs added, resulting in a slightly higher unemployment rate, according to a monthly update from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. The state lost a revised 700 jobs in January, reversing the initially reported gain of 800 jobs and putting Colorado in a group of only four states to suffer a decline in nonfarm payroll jobs that month. Those losses were likely caused by a colder and snowier start to the year, said Ryan Gedney, a senior economist with the CDLE on a press call Friday morning.

  • The hidden story behind one of SpaceX’s wettest and wildest launches
    Ars Technica, Thursday - 04/18/2024 - 08:30 AM

    Enlarge / Is that sooty rocket lifting off with the CRS-3 mission in 2014 a reused booster? No, it is not. (credit: SpaceX) Ten years ago today, when a Falcon 9 rocket took off from Florida, something strange happened. Dramatically, as the rocket lifted off, a fountain of dirty water splashed upward alongside the vehicle, coating the rocket in grime. Following the ultimately successful liftoff of this third cargo Dragon mission to the International Space Station, SpaceX founder Elon Musk was asked about the incident during a news conference.

(credit: Samuel Axon) Apple's Vision Pro headset holds the promise to be a powerful extension of your Mac workflow, but the Mac integration it shipped with is just neat, not a big step forward.
