BREAKING
Abu Zaid: I believe that the Iranian operation was multi-layered, combining cyber and electronic attacks with coordinated on-the-ground infiltrations by agents
Abu Zaid: Usually, archives of such sensitivity are typically protected by a full-scale security system, but it appears that Iranian intelligence managed to make use of a gap in it
Strategic military expert Nidal Abu Zaid: Iran has stripped "Israel" of the superiority and deterrence long boasted by its security minister, chief of staff, and other top officials
Fallahpour: Iran may use these documents in its battle with the United States and Western countries over its nuclear program
Fallahpour: Iran may have obtained additional documents related to "Israel's" regional projects, not just its nuclear program
Fallahpour: The coming weeks will be full of surprises, as Iran has forced Israeli intelligence agencies into a state of psychological exhaustion
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Tehran, Siavash Fallahpour: Iran has redefined the concept of deterrence, shifting it away from traditional military balance toward a new strategic framework
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Number of documents so great that merely studying them, along with accompanying images and footage will require a great deal of time.
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Large data trove was confirmed to have arrived to "safe sites".
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Operation had taken place in past, but large size of documents and need to transfer entire batch inside Iran necessitated secrecy.

On Friday, the labor department reported disappointing results that raised concerns about the speed at which economic recovery is proceeding in the US, amid the spread of the delta variant and lagging vaccination rates.

According to a report by the Washington Post, the United States added just 194,000 jobs in September, well below analysts' forecast of 500,000. Although the unemployment rate dropped from 5.2% to 4.8%, the pandemic still takes a toll on workers as at least 6 million Americans last month. 

The United States has 5 million jobs less than it did pre-pandemic. Low-wage jobs register the worst scores, as skilled labor almost recovered from the pandemic job loss by May, according to the report. "We'd like it to be that easy. But Thornton has been easy in the pandemic. The challenges are still substantial to getting people back,” stated Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thorton, to the Washington Post.

COVID-19, Hurricane Ida and wildfires are contributing factors

Other economists said that some positive signs can be noticed despite the series of "unfortunate crises." The nation's coronavirus spread, Hurricane Ida and wildfires in California can be considered as contributing elements to this result. 

Since the pandemic began, millions of workers have left the labor force; women are more affected by the circumstances as child care is one of the main causes. Employment declined in the state and local government education sector by 161,000, although this might be attributed in part to "seasonal adjustments made by the statisticians who compile the report that are based on pre-pandemic hiring trends, like school staffing surges in September."  

Biden: Congress needs to support spending proposals

The cessation of unemployment benefits did little to stimulate hiring, as people are less willing to take lower-paying jobs amid pandemic "complexities like health concerns or child care worries are still an issue."

Biden joined other Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in claiming that the employment data underscored the need for Congress to support his spending proposals, which include infrastructure improvements and early childhood education.

Numbers of jobs created 

Despite the negative data, many sectors started adding job opportunities to the economy, for instance, bars and restaurants contributed to creating 29,000 jobs. Moreover, technical consulting services and computer systems design added 60,000 jobs for the month, retail added 56,000 jobs, and transportation and warehousing maintained its growth, increasing by 47,000 jobs.
