Last update: 3 hours agoWorkplace misconduct & accountability: The U.S. Department of Labor’s inspector general report says former Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer visited a strip club on the job, allegedly directed her driver to drop money on dancers, and also raised claims of harassment and other improper conduct—she later moved into a senior comms-advisory role. Hiring & pay signals: U.S. payrolls rose by 162,000 in August and unemployment held steady, reviving talk of a Fed rate hike—good news for job seekers, but it may keep hiring costs high.

Job openings in the real world: Crerar Hotels is recruiting a full-time kitchen porter on Scotland’s Isle of Mull (shift work, £13.45/hour). Career pathways in demand: Multiple pieces highlight instructional design as a fast-growing edtech career track, with hundreds of openings and pay often around the $93k range.
