ECONOMY NEWS
- ➤ On Friday, a weak national jobs report showed the U.S. economy added only 22,000 jobs in August and revised June figures, raising concerns in Virginia over tariffs, federal workforce cuts, cancelled grants, and rising inflation — factors that have left the state’s job market soft. Virginia officials noted the uncertainty may lead the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in future meetings while experts warned that the job market will likely remain weak as unemployment has risen for seven consecutive months.

For those tracking hydration, sodium intake is key. A growing wave of research suggests that optimal health may require sodium levels two to three times higher than traditional guidelines.
That’s where LMNT comes in. This zero-sugar electrolyte mix offers a science-backed boost without the additives. Popular among athletes, intermittent fasters, and wellness-minded parents alike, it's redefining how people stay hydrated.
Try LMNT totally risk-free and get a free LMNT Sample Pack with any purchase. Pro tip: If you don’t like it, they’ll refund your order, no questions asked.
