Extra caution advised for motorists in wake of winter storm
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) is urging motorists to exercise caution following a winter storm that left ice on roads, bridges, and overpasses across southern counties. Crews are actively treating these areas with de-icing materials. However, low temperatures tonight may refreeze treated surfaces, leading to potential black ice, particularly on bridges. Despite improvements in conditions, MDOT warns that hazardous driving conditions persist in the affected coastal counties. The agency advises safe driving practices, including slowing down, being cautious near shaded areas, and avoiding distractions. For updates, visit GoMDOT.com/winter or follow MDOT on social media.

SUMMARY: In January, the U.S. added 143,000 jobs, below the predicted 169,000, but the unemployment rate fell to 4%, better than expected. The Bureau of Labor Statistics revised previous months’ payrolls upward by 100,000 and lowered 2024 job growth estimates to 166,000 per month. Hiring rates are slowing, but the job market remains stable with positive executive sentiments regarding potential business improvements from tax cuts and deregulation. However, concerns about trade tariffs may impact economic growth, potentially leading to a GDP contraction of 1.5%. Despite challenges, overall employment indicators remain strong with low unemployment rates.
