Wages also rose 4.1 percent from a year ago, beating expectations. The new numbers suggested that the job market continues to be robust: Americans have plenty of options for work. But the report wasn’t all good news. The unemployment rate, which remains historically low, ticked up to 4 percent for the first time since January 2022. Our economics reporter Ben Casselman said the report’s mixed signals were frustrating but not unusual. [He explained what to make of the conflicting pictures](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRoRgEFP0T-aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wNi8wNy9idXNpbmVzcy9lY29ub215L3doYXQtdG8tbWFrZS1vZi10aGUtam9icy1yZXBvcnRzLW1peGVkLXNpZ25hbHMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDI0MDYwNyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMjU3MTQmbmw9dGhlLWV2ZW5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE2OTAzMiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZlUFfGNmCRATc1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD). More concerning for the Fed, the reported wage and job growth complicates the path toward the steadily cooling economy that policymakers have sought. Instead, the data hinted that inflation might not yet be vanquished. President Biden celebrated the strong labor market — which would have gotten almost any of his predecessors re-elected. But for him, it appears, the job-creation boom [may not be enough](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRoRgEFP0TqaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wNi8wNy9idXNpbmVzcy9iaWRlbi1qb2ItbWFya2V0LWVjb25vbXktaW5mbGF0aW9uLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAyNDA2MDcmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTI1NzE0Jm5sPXRoZS1ldmVuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNjkwMzImdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmZVBXxjZgkQE3NSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~).

The new standards are part of the president’s effort to transform the American auto market into one dominated by electric vehicles. Under the new regulations, cars sold in the U.S. would have to achieve an average fuel economy of 65 miles per gallon by 2031, up from 48.7 miles per gallon today. Light trucks, including pickups and S.U.V.s, would have to achieve an average mileage of 45 miles per gallon, up from 35.1 miles.

Migrants in the border towns of Mexicali and Ciudad Juárez have been turned away.

The border would only open to asylum seekers if illegal crossings drop significantly. The bigger question is how broadly Biden’s order can be enforced. There are still ways for people to illegally cross the 2,000-mile border. In related news, Latinos near the border were once reliable Democrats.
