A dramatic slowdown in the labor market; America’s aging crisis: Homeless seniors
The latest jobs report is out, the first since President Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, accusing her of “fudging” the numbers.

NBC News Correspondent Stephanie Gosk reports on what she saw firsthand.

“Unschooling” 101: A new lesson in learning
It’s back-to-school season across the U.S., but for a growing number of kids, the first day of school never comes. Instead, they’re part of the “unschooling” movement, a form of self-directed education where children decide what, when, and how they learn. Supporters argue that it fosters independence and creativity. Critics warn it could leave significant gaps in core subjects, with little oversight or data to track outcomes.
