Title: Current Event
Article: In the Wall Street Journal this weekend, the article "U.S. Hiring Shows Traction for Recovery,"Mitchell and O'Connor's article of the Wall Street Journal explain that hiring increased, leading to the lowest unemployment rate in three years. The U.S. economy added 200,000 jobs in December demonstrating signs that the labor market is strengthening, although there are still signs of uncertainty.
Content Connection: Macroeconomics "examines the overall behavior of the economy-how the actions of all the individuals and firms in the economy interact to produce a particular economy-wide level of economic performance." (Krugman & Wells, 2015, The Nature of Macroeconomics section, para. 4). Mitchell and O'Connor's article describes the increase in U.S. employment, and the impact on the economy's recovery from the recession. Employment, recovery and recession are macroeconomics concepts, affecting the overall economy. An increase in hiring demonstrates an increase in economic activity.
