A new proposed rule by the Department of Labor would close what the administration calls "loopholes" in retirement advice, potentially saving retirees billions.

Currently, the Securities and Exchange Commission has regulations mandating that investment advice needs to be in a saver's best interest.

Dobson told WRAL-TV on Monday he authorized removing the photo to make space for a new sentence on the elevator safety forms that mark each inspection. Predecessor Cherie Berry — a Republican like Dobson — pioneered the elevator inspection certificate photo, likely helping her at election time for nearly two decades. It earned her the moniker “elevator lady” and “elevator queen,” spurring a social media handle parody and even a song. Dobson attributed the delays to rapid growth in North Carolina and the challenge of keeping inspector positions filled.

New York’s job recovery has lagged behind other cities in part because the virus struck the city sooner, and vital industries, like hospitality and retail, remained closed longer and lost more jobs. The positions, mostly in clothing and department stores, paid an average of about $62,000 a year. In the same period, about 66,200 home health aid jobs were added, the most in any industry. Another 34,000 jobs were added in social services positions, which paid an average of $38,000. The third-fastest growing industry was management consulting, which paid an average $198,000, but only added 14,000 jobs to the economy, Dr. Parrott said.
