About 19 total have left Rep. Mike Haridopolos.One was escorted out by Brevard County Sheriff’s deputies after raising concerns about what was happening inside the office.Another quit after about a month. Staff say he refused to go along with the chief of staff running taxpayer-reimbursed purchases through her personal rewards credit card.House records show $181,975.84 in office expenses paid directly to Chief of Staff Hannah Fraher in just 18 months (on top of her $210,000 salary).She’s also alleged to have used a subordinate’s Social Security number to add her to that personal card without permission.Meanwhile, veterans calling the district office for help are being told the veterans services position is vacant.The congressman’s office has not answered a single question surrounding the allegations and mass departure of staff from his office. We’re publishing every one of them so you can read them and decide for yourself.The full investigation is in the comments. Have you had problems contacting Rep. Mike Haridopolos' office for help?#FL08 #BrevardCounty #Haridopolos ...

Another round of layoffs is coming to Kennedy Space Center.Aetos Systems, a NASA subcontractor, has warned that up to 126 workers at KSC could lose their jobs by Dec. 31 as NASA brings their IT and communications work in-house.This comes on top of the 70 Amentum layoffs announced earlier this month. That puts as many as 196 contractor jobs at Kennedy on the line before the end of the year.Affected positions include communications engineers, electronic and network technicians, instrumentation specialists and training coordinators. Some workers may be offered jobs directly with NASA.Full story linked in the comments.#kennedyspacecenter #NASA #SpaceCoast ...

The U.S. Added Only 116,000 Jobs in 2025, Not 1.2 MillionWhen the monthly jobs reports came out in 2025, they added up to about 1.21 million new jobs. After revisions, the U.S. economy added just 116,000 jobs that year, roughly 90 percent fewer than first reported.The figures were highlighted Thursday by economist and former Obama administration official Steve Rattner, using Bureau of Labor Statistics data compiled by the St. Louis Fed. "First reported" sums each month's initial jobs estimate, while "after revisions" reflects current data, including the annual benchmark revision.That works out to an average of about 9,700 jobs per month in 2025, compared with roughly 100,700 per month in the original reports.Several months flipped from gains to losses. January 2025 was first reported as a gain of 143,000 jobs and now shows a loss of 48,000. June 2025 went from a gain of 147,000 to a loss of 20,000, and August 2025 went from a gain of 22,000 to a loss of 70,000.Much of the drop came in February, when the BLS annual benchmark revision lowered the March 2025 employment level by 898,000 jobs. At that point, 2025's total gain stood at 181,000. Later monthly revisions brought it down further to 116,000.2024 was also revised sharply, from 2.59 million jobs as first reported to 1.46 million, a 44 percent drop. For 2026, January through September, the first reported total of 730,000 jobs has been revised to 612,000, about 16 percent lower.The BLS says revisions are a normal part of its process, since many businesses respond to its monthly survey after the initial report is released, and the annual benchmark is checked against state unemployment insurance records. Economists note that revisions tend to be larger when the economy is shifting quickly.The agency's numbers drew national attention in August 2025, when President Trump fired the BLS commissioner after a jobs report that included a large downward revision.#JobsReport #Economy #FloridaNews ...
