Polarized response to April unemployment data noted
Pelosi and others frame the April jobless rate at 4.7 percent amid a slower 138000 job creation, with Republicans and Democrats accusing each other of cherry picking statistics to fit their arguments. Moody's economist Mark Zandi says the economy works for higher income households but hurts lower and middle incomes due to stagnant wage growth and rising debt.

Last Titanic survivor Lillian Asplund dies at 99 in Massachusetts
Lillian Gertrud Asplund, the last American survivor with memories of the Titanic sinking, died at age 99 at her Shrewsbury home. She was five when the ship went down in 1912, losing her father and three brothers, while her mother Selma and younger brother Felix survived. Asplund, who kept a low public profile, was one of the few survivors with firsthand recollections. The family had sailed from Southampton as third-class passengers returning to Worcester from Sweden.
