State and federal data show a stabilizing but still soft labor market, with Virginia launching a new monthly "Jobs Day" report to help residents track trends and opportunities.
   

• Your Immigration Hearing May Have Moved to a Secret Building — Here's How to Check: REPORT (latintimes.com) — Some immigration hearings from Maryland and Virginia are now being quietly shifted to a little-known federal office in Falls Church, where judges often appear only by video and mailed notices can be delayed or missing.
