Temps rose 50 percent since the recession ended to nearly 2.7 million the highest on records dating to 1990. Factors include economic uncertainty and a shift toward flexible payrolls with limited benefits and security.

Report questions JPAC failure in accounting for MIAs
An internal study, suppressed then released to the AP, condemns the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command as dysfunctional and corrupt. It cites reliance on faulty databases, costly boondoggles in Europe, and a North Korea operation that salted sites, wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars and compromising evidence. The report details leadership pushback and sets a broader challenge to account for 83,348 missing Americans from World War II Korea and Vietnam, including personal stories like Shelia Reese, whose father Kenneth Reese remains missing in North Korea.
