AP Explains: 5 key takeaways from a strong June jobs report

โ€œTodayโ€™s announcement,โ€ President Donald Trump declared Thursday after the report was released, โ€œproves that our economy is roaring back.โ€Maybe.

Restaurants, bars, hotels and other leisure and hospitality businesses, hard hit by closures in the spring, added 2.1 million jobs in June. โ€œJob gains in June were broad-based across 75% of the private sector,โ€˜' noted Kathy Bostjancic of Oxford Economics.

Antibody tests could lead to job discrimination and encourage workers to play โ€˜Russian rouletteโ€™

One tool many are banking on is the antibody test. Rachel Horton, a lecturer in law at the University of Reading, told CNN that UK employees who felt they had faced discrimination due to their antibody status would have limited legal protections, as antibody status is not currently considered a protected characteristic under anti-discrimination law. Horton said an employer could in theory justify requiring someone to disclose their antibody status if they could prove it was necessary for health and safety. False reassuranceWhile many commercial manufacturers are rushing to produce antibody tests, at least some on the market are fraudulent or unreliable, producing false positive results that could lead people to mistakenly believe they have already been infected. Paul Hunter, a professor of health protection at England's University of East Anglia, also raised concerns about access to antibody tests.

And make sure you've nailed the security features of that technology so no one can Zoom bomb you or otherwise hack your meeting, Lee said. IT can't reach in remotely to wipe the person's laptop in the middle of your conversation, or when employees have turned off their Wi-Fi.
