The number of discouraged workers — people who believe no jobs are available for them — jumped by 144,000 in a single month, to 510,000. Discouraged workers are not counted in the official unemployment rate because they have stopped actively looking for work. Older workers who exit the labor force, whether by choice or exhaustion, disappear from the reported number entirely.

Which simple action can significantly reduce the number of prescreened credit card offers in your mailbox?

You can opt out of prescreened credit and insurance offers by visiting OptOutPrescreen.com or by phone at 888-567-8688.​

Question 7 of 9

According to experts, which habit is especially harmful to joint health?

Staying active can help keep your joints lubricated so you can keep moving, which in turn can lower inflammation and boost muscle around the joint. Frequent sitting also leads to muscle tightness in the hips and legs, and weakness of core-stabilizing muscles.

Question 8 of 9

When filing taxes for a deceased loved one, who is typically responsible for filing the final return?

An executor, estate administrator, surviving spouse or personal representative of the deceased can file and sign a final tax return. Typically, an executor is named in a will to administer someone’s estate when that person dies. If a person dies without a will, a court will appoint an estate administrator to handle the individual’s legal and financial affairs, including filing their tax returns.

Question 9 of 9

What prompted actress Sharon Stone, who stars in the new season of Euphoria on HBO, to return to painting?

“I started painting when I was little,” Stone told Today. “In the ’90s, I was pretty busy being a movie star. I stopped painting almost entirely. Then COVID happened and I had all that free time. I decided to pick up the brush again. It was a really wonderful time. It allowed me to process the impact of what had happened to me — not only having the stroke but then not being able to go back to work.”
