Nobel laureate on jobs, Pulitze winner on fisticuffs
Jobs, FYI... Quote of the Week — "Suppose that the economy were to keep growing at 3.5 percent. If that happened, unemployment would eventually start falling — but very, very slowly. The experience of the Clinton era, when the economy grew at an average rate of 3.7 percent for eight years (did you know that?) suggests that at current growth rates we'd be lucky to see the unemployment rate fall by half a percentage point per year, meaning that it would take a decade to return to something like full employment." — columnist and Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman in The New York Times. By the Numbers — 600,000: The projected number of nurses the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts will be added to payrolls between 2006-16. Last Word — "Back when I got into journalism, the idea that a fist fight in a newsroom would turn into a news story was unthinkable. The guys in the sports department at the New York Daily News, they had so many, you wouldn't even look up." — Henry Allen, 68-year-old Washington Post editor and a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter, responding to accounts that he threw a punch at a reporter.
