The U.S. economy added 162,000 jobs in August, well above forecasts and marking the strongest monthly gain since March, while July payroll growth was revised up to 21,000 from an initially reported loss of 23,000. The unemployment rate held at 4.1%, labor force participation edged up to 61.6%, and average hourly earnings rose 3.1% from a year earlier to $37.75. Hiring was led by food services and drinking places, local government education, construction, manufacturing, and health care, while information-sector employment declined. Despite the stronger headline figures, economists described the labor market as stable rather than accelerating, with job openings little changed and many workers reluctant to switch jobs. The report could give the Federal Reserve more scope to raise interest rates at its September 16th meeting, although policymakers are expected to weigh the upcoming August inflation data before deciding.

Phillippa O'Connor, UK chief people officer at PwC, says graduates are more enthusiastic about office working than older employees, particularly parents and carers who became accustomed to remote work during the pandemic. She says younger staff value being in the office for networking, learning from colleagues and gaining exposure to senior employees and clients. PwC expects staff to work in the office at least three days a week, while offering parents and carers greater flexibility. Research from PwC and the Social Market Foundation think-tank also found that the quality of a person’s first job can have a major impact on their career. Those starting in roles offering strong training, support and progression opportunities earned an average of £55,000 by age 35, compared with £27,000 for those entering lower-mobility roles.

The American Statistical Association has called for a major overhaul of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), recommending that it become a modern, data-focused partner to states rather than simply return to its previous structure. The report proposes stronger data governance, greater interoperability, and expanded technical capacity to help connect and improve education data collected across state and federal systems. NCES’ ability to support states has been severely reduced after its workforce fell from 103 employees to three in early 2025, and roughly three-quarters of its contracts were canceled. The report argues that rebuilding the agency could restore its role in providing technical assistance, promoting common data standards, and enabling nationally comparable education statistics. States are already developing more sophisticated approaches to data sharing, including California’s Cradle-to-Career Data System, Virginia’s Commonwealth Data Trust Portal, and Ohio’s statewide data-sharing compact. However, differences in governance, resources, and technical capabilities continue to limit nationwide comparability. The report envisions NCES serving as a bridge between state education systems and the broader federal statistical infrastructure. It also sees potential for privacy-enhancing technologies and AI to improve data discovery and linkage, although researchers stress that NCES must first rebuild its staffing and capacity before taking on major new initiatives.

Finance executives have reported differing preferences for where they work most productively, with many favoring a hybrid approach that combines focused work at home with collaboration in the office. A CFO.com LinkedIn poll of 110 respondents found that 50% considered their home office their most productive location, compared with 31% who preferred the company office, while 11% said they could work effectively anywhere. Several CFOs said home working is better suited to analysis, modeling, and other concentration-intensive tasks, while offices provide greater opportunities for spontaneous conversations, faster problem-solving, and team collaboration. Overall, executives emphasized flexibility, suggesting productivity depends more on the type of work being performed than on a single preferred location.

Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay has called for greater action against lawyers and accountants who allegedly help organised crime gangs launder money and disguise the proceeds of drug trafficking. He accused successive SNP governments of failing to tackle professionals who provide criminal networks with legitimacy. Former justice secretary Kenny MacAskill backed calls for action, saying lawyers and accountants had sometimes been linked to suspicious property dealings. The Law Society of Scotland said it took a “zero-tolerance approach” to solicitors involved in criminal conduct and cited three lawyers jailed in 2023 over a £1.5m money-laundering operation, while the Faculty of Advocates said its members could not hold third-party funds. The Scottish Government and Police Scotland said tackling organised crime remained a priority.

Elon Musk’s xAI has failed to block Minnesota from enforcing its law banning the use of AI tools for generating nonconsensual nude images. The state’s first-of-its-kind law prohibits websites, apps, and software programs from allowing users to generate nonconsensual fake nude images or videos with AI. Advertising such services is also prohibited. The law went into effect on August 1st, and imposes civil penalties of up to $500,000 for each unlawful access, download, or use. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, a Democrat, said the state's law was "overwhelmingly bipartisan and nearly unanimously approved" by state lawmakers. He added: "These nudification apps have been used to generate child sexual abuse materials and harass people in the vilest ways imaginable . . . That repulsive behavior is not welcome in Minnesota."

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog, has said the misuse of informal banking networks, including hawala and other similar service providers (HOSSPs), which move payments through agents rather than regulated financial institutions, is a growing worldwide problem. FATF President Giles Thomson warned that sophisticated, commercially run networks now act as a “serious risk multiplier,” and make it easier for criminals to hide activities that harm people and communities around the world. FATF said in its report that professional service providers, including lawyers, accountants, auditors, consultants and real estate agents, are increasingly involved in facilitating the schemes.
