Here’s the latest at the end of Friday. - Some good news in the jobs report - The U.S. gives Ukraine cluster munitions - Plus, cottage cheese is trendy Hiring in many sectors, like construction, has been resilient despite higher interest rates.Jim Wilson/The New York Times The job market cools but is still strong U.S. employers added 209,000 jobs in June, which was the 30th consecutive month of job growth, according to data released today.

Analysts saw the report as more or less good news, especially following slowing inflation. Some experts have warned that the Federal Reserve’s moves to fight rising prices could result in significant job losses, while policymakers have expressed concerns that the job market remains too hot. Today’s report may reflect a middle ground. “If we continue to see this ‘immaculate disinflation’ — inflation falling while employment holds up,” my colleague Talmon Joseph Smith said, “then we may collectively be able to finesse a ‘soft landing’ in which there is no recession at all in the near future. This jobs report — not too hot but not too cold — gave more life to that possibility, previously unimaginable to many powerful people in this country.” Still, as is always the case with the economy, outlooks remain far from certain.

President Biden made the decision to send the weapons rather than risk letting Ukrainian forces run out of the conventional artillery rounds they desperately need to fight Russia. Biden’s national security adviser defended the move, arguing that Ukraine would be using the cluster munitions on their own land against a Russian military that has been using them since the beginning of the war. Over 100 nations have signed a treaty prohibiting the weapons; the U.S., Russia and Ukraine have not. Several Democratic lawmakers [denounced the decision](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmiwWUP0T0aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wNy8wNy93b3JsZC9ldXJvcGUvYmlkZW4tY2x1c3Rlci1tdW5pdGlvbnMtdWtyYWluZS1kZW1vY3JhdHMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDIzMDcwNyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD05Njk5NiZubD10aGUtZXZlbmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTM4NjU5JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpkpZSAqGS2wtQUUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~).
