These 4 states have fully regained the jobs lost during the pandemic
New York (CNN Business) America's job market hasn't fully recovered yet. In November, Texas and Arizona joined Utah and Idaho in recouping all their pandemic job losses, according to a report by ratings agency Fitch. In comparison, California and New York were at only 70% and 60% of their pre-pandemic employment levels, respectively. States that were more affected by the waves of the pandemic and had tighter restrictions to fight the outbreak are lagging behind in recovering from their Covid job losses. After record job losses at the start of the pandemic, nearly all states have recovered at least half of those lost jobs, with the exception of Hawaii and Wyoming, according to Fitch.

Opinion : Why I’m opposed to Ilhan Omar’s bill against Islamophobia
But the U.S. government is already doing these things, and without needing to establish a new office of the kind that Omar is calling for. The bigger risk is that creating a mandate to monitor Islamophobia comes with its own risks. The legislation does not provide a clear definition of Islamophobia, nor does it make any clear effort to exempt the crimes of Islamist states against their own people. Is criticism of the Taliban a form of Islamophobia? Can one criticize Hamas or Hezbollah as terrorist organizations?

Biden administration to withdraw Covid-19 vaccination and testing regulation aimed at large businesses
(CNN) The Biden administration is withdrawing its Covid-19 vaccination and testing regulation aimed at large businesses, following the Supreme Court's decision to block the rule earlier this month. The US Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration said Tuesday it will be withdrawing the vaccination and testing emergency temporary standard for businesses with 100 or more employees, according to a statement on the agency's website. "Although OSHA is withdrawing the vaccination and testing ETS as an enforceable emergency temporary standard, the agency is not withdrawing the ETS as a proposed rule. The agency is prioritizing its resources to focus on finalizing a permanent COVID-19 Healthcare Standard," the statement read. OSHA has made no determinations at this time about when or if it will finalize a Vaccination and Testing rule.

Analysis: US enemies are lining up to test Joe Biden
(CNN) President Joe Biden is confronting a series of distinct but interlocking global crises and hotspots with US foes lining up to test the mettle of an under-pressure leader and their own sense that the United States is a retreating global power. And foreign leaders understand domestic US politics too. Some foreign leaders might look at events in Washington on Monday and wonder whether the stress is beginning to weigh on the President. The Russian leader's timing is no accident as he tries to probe divisions between European powers internally and with the United States over the crisis. "I had a very, very, very good meeting -- total unanimity with all the European leaders," Biden told reporters afterward.

EU wants test-free travel for vaccinated residents
(CNN) — Traveling around Europe may be about to get less complicated for fully vaccinated travelers from countries within the European Union. The EU is recommending that vaccinated residents should not be required to undergo testing or quarantine measures when entering member states. This means that fully vaccinated travelers could be allowed to move freely around the bloc's 27 member states provided each country follows the guidance. The update guidance, which was announced on Tuesday, stresses that "a traveler's Covid-19 vaccination, test or recovery status, as evidenced by a valid EU digital Covid Certificate, should be the key determinant" for travel within Europe moving forward. Those who do not hold a digital certificate may be required to undergo a test no later than 24 hours after their arrival.

Intel brief: Electric grid is ‘attractive target’ for extremists
A federal indictment in the case alleges that a handwritten list of transformers, substations, and other components of the power grid in the northwest was discovered among one of the defendant’s possessions. The suspects were charged with conspiracy to damage and destroy by fire and explosive and with possession of unregistered firearms. The US national electric grid is large and diverse — composed of more than 6,400 power plants, 55,000 substations and 450,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines serviced by 3,000 companies, the memo notes. The DHS intelligence brief found that use of encrypted messaging platforms and simple tactics will likely make these attacks difficult to detect. Some domestic extremists believe that largely remote and dispersed nature of the electric grid “will allow sufficient time to conduct an attack while evading detection by law enforcement,” according to a body of DHS, state, and media reporting.
