The Bureau of Labor Statistics published its February jobs report on March 9. Here is a link to their press release:

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm

Your job is the following. Read the press release and incorporate into a writing assignment containing the following elements:

Short run labor market

Is this job report a positive or negative one? How does this report fit into the trends of the last few months? What does it say about the state of the labor market and the economy as a whole? Support your opinion with evidence. Make sure to mention the number of jobs created and the unemployment rate. Include any other statistics that support your position, and explain how they do so.

Medium run labor market

You have drawn a conclusion about the state of the labor market and the overall economy. How does this trend of the last few months fit into the performance of the economy over approximately the last 10 years or so? Support your position using evidence, including any relevant statistics.

Long run labor market

The economy and the labor market fluctuate over time (this is the business cycle we have previously read about). But are there any long run trends over the past 20-30 years that have been consistent? What are these trends and what do they imply about the state of the economy in the future? Again, use statistics and evidence to support your view.

Section One:

Write a review of “Dirigible Dreams” that answers the following three questions:

1) What was the purpose of the book?

2) Did the author successfully complete the purpose of the book or did he accomplish less than the purpose? Thoroughly explain your positions and reference sections of the book that support your comments.

3) Did you find “Dirigible Dreams” useful in understanding the development of transportation (or not)? Be explicit, offer examples, and tell me what you liked and did not like about the book (and why).

Section Two:

Compare what you learned in “Dirigible Dreams” to the development of another form of transportation. First, identify specific points of comparison, then apply those points of comparison between the development of airships to your chosen “other” form of transportation.

You may choose a form of transportation that was successfully (or unsuccessfully) developed in the past, or a development(s) that is happening today. For example, compare “Dirigible Dreams” to the development of LNG-powered ships.
