The record number came during a month in which there were 10.4 million job openings, a near-record sum that marked a slight decrease from the 10.6 million in August, AP reported. The numbers reflect a job market in which workers faced with more opportunities than ever are empowered to leave positions in favor of others with higher pay and other benefits, while employers grow increasingly desperate. The Labor Department report follows last week’s jobs report, which showed that U....

China has been known for its strict coronavirus “zero-tolerance” rules that have closed down college campuses and even Shangai Disneyland, and now faces issues of losing business and tourism from its strict international borders. In a recent American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong survey, 40 percent of members said they may leave Hong Kong and live in a different country with fewer restrictions. For many workers who travel to China for business reasons, the restrictions are discouraging, making them leave their families for longer periods of time....

A recent survey conducted by the National Association of Pupil Transportation found that 50 percent of districts in the U.S. categorized their bus driver shortage as “desperate” or “severe.” These shortages came as schools began to welcome back students for in-person teaching, necessitating swift action.

So far, this has involved raising wages, offering complimentary training, and offering major sign-on and retention bonuses....

The announcement was made today on the game’s official Twitter page, and answers a question fans of Team17’s chaotic cooking game series have had for a while. It was recently confirmed that Overcooked: All You Can Eat is a launch title for the PS5, but the Xbox Series X version was merely stated to be “coming soon,” suggesting that it might launch on Microsoft’s console at a later time. Luckily for fans on Xbox, that won’t be the case, and in fact they’ll be able to jump into it before PS5 players can....

Sony has an exciting future ahead of itself and even though the new console has put out some strong titles so far, it was 2022 that really allowed the PlayStation 5 to shine. There are some highly anticipated games that are set to hit in 2023, but there are also many that have a much looser release window or are just rumored to be in development. What PS5 games are coming out in 2023?...

She’s also madly in love with Ainz, to the point of obsession. Although, that’s only because he jokingly made it one of her character quirks, unaware that all the NPCs would gain self-awareness, and he would be unable to remove that trait. In some ways, Albedo has grown more daring, while in others she’s grown more disciplined, but just how much has she changed through the series?

According to the unknown Blizzard support team member, Mercy is not exactly on the market. On the contrary, she is apparently in a relationship with the brutal Roadhog, who is, in many ways, her exact opposite. Whereas Mercy focuses on healing her teammates and bringing them back to life, Roadhog only worries about healing himself, and is a powerful killing machine. The pairing may come as a shock to Overwatch fans, but as they say, opposites attract....

The core of Blizzard’s first-person team shooter relies on fast-paced PvP action between two teams of 6. For those who want to show off their ability, Overwatch’s competitive mode matchmaking places competitors based on a skill rating. Of the 6 players, Aspen fell into the support category, which involves heroes that heal and buff allies. Though this role relies heavily on the team, the streamer managed to make it to the top....

Fortunately, Overwatch developers have been monitoring behaviour not just by getting player reports, but also by monitoring streams outside the game such as the ones on Twitch and YouTube. 18,188 accounts have been banned according to a post on their forum. Game director Jeff Kaplan has addressed the issue of toxicity last year in January 2018. In South Korea, where boosting was recently made illegal (through the Game Industry Promotion Act), even the government has been closely working with game developers to curb such behaviour....

Purely speculation, the director of the first two God of War games said that “I am sure the new God of War will be PS4 [and] PS5,” adding that “Jim Ryan has pretty much said as much.” Referring to several interviews where the PlayStation CEO refused to comment on the God of War sequel’s cross-gen status, despite claiming that the PS4 will continue to be supported, Jaffe’s educated guess makes perfect sense....

The Academy Awards has faced its fair share of criticism, ultimately leading to the collapsing viewership. The ceremony’s biggest outing of the 21st century came in 2014, which drew 43.7 million viewers. Numbers for the Oscars have decreased since then, and several factors have played a role in the decline. Notable celebrities boycotted the 2016 ceremony due to the absence of Black nominees in the acting categories. Fast-forward three years later, and the ceremony would be without a host for consecutive years until this most recent ceremony....

LONDON (Reuters) - French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko battled her misfiring game and stubborn qualifier Francoise Abanda before securing a 4-6 7-6(4) 6-3 win to reach the Wimbledon third round on Wednesday. For the second match running the 13th seed’s level fluctuated wildly but she finally made her extra firepower count to see off the Canadian as darkness descended on Court 12. Fans could have been excused for wondering what all the fuss was about as Ostapenko, who blazed to the Roland Garros title last month, flailed forehands high and wide in a scrappy first set against her fellow 20-year-old....

However, the setting not only provides Skydance the breathing room to get creative, but it also offers ample potential to tap into Marvel’s history. Since the game takes place during WW2, it’s more than likely that characters such as Bucky Barnes will make an appearance. However, Skydance should seize the opportunity to dig deeper for classic Marvel characters to compliment its protagonists and elevate stories that otherwise might not have been seen....
