March 31 Gallup Poll on the U.S. job market HERE:

"The Data: In Q4 2025, 19% of college-educated workers said it was a good time to find a quality job, compared with 35% of workers without a college degree.

The Trend: This marks a reversal from prior years, when college-educated workers were the more optimistic group. In addition, just 19% of Gen Z workers are optimistic about the job market, compared with a third of Gen X workers and 42% of baby boomers."

This affects us all: U.S. Tomahawk Hit Naval Base Beside Iranian School, Video Shows
