May job gain led by government census hiring slows private hiring
Private employers added only 41,000 jobs in May as Census Bureau hiring surged. The overall 431,000 new jobs marked a decade high on paper, but most gains came from temporary census work that will fade. Unemployment dipped to 9.7 percent as jobseekers dropped out.

SpaceX Falcon 9 reaches orbit in first test flight
The multimillionaire founder Elon Musk announced SpaceX's Falcon 9 reached Earth orbit nine minutes into the maiden launch. NASA and the White House hailed the milestone as proof of Obama era plans to privatize cargo and crew transport to the International Space Station. Musk projected future flights and hinted at citizen access to space, calling it the dawn of a new era. The Dragon capsule aimed for a 155 mile orbit and will stay aloft a year before reentering. A prior ignition anomaly caused a brief abort before liftoff.
