Not too hot, not too cold. But not, alas, just right.
The economy added a healthy 223,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department reported Thursday, but with other indicators showing wages flat and many Americans remaining on the sidelines, the overall economic picture for workers was not nearly as bright.
Although the unemployment rate fell to 5.3 percent, the lowest in seven years, that was driven largely by an exodus from the work force, rather than more people finding jobs. Moreover, the strong payroll gains for April and May, which had led many analysts to conclude that the economy might finally be gaining momentum, were revised downward by 60,000 jobs.
“This was an O.K. report, but the unemployment rate didn’t go down for the right reasons,” said Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab.
Perhaps most discouraging, average hourly earnings didn’t budge in June despite the drop in the unemployment rate from 5.5 percent in May, disappointing hopes that wages were finally increasing for most workers. It was a strong sign that plenty of slack remains in the job market, and that companies do not yet feel much pressure to raise pay to attract needed employees.

BATON ROUGE – An East Baton Rouge woman is suing a local janitorial service after slipping and falling in a restroom.
Ashley Verner filed suit against Jani King of Baton Rouge Janitorial Service in the 19th Judicial District Court on April 7.
On May 8, 2014, Verner states that she was working at Sage Rehab and she went to use the restroom where there were not any signs posted to indicate that there was a Jani King employee cleaning the restroom. The plaintiff claims that upon exiting the restroom she slipped on a liquid substance that was left on the floor by a Jani King employee. The plaintiff claims that she was severely injured and underwent knee surgery on Oct. 21, 2014.
The defendant is accused of failing to keep a proper lookout for leaking residue, failing to clean up liquid right away, failing to warn people of a wet floor, failing to properly inspect the floor, failing to have liquid merchandise under control to keep it from leaking on the floor and failing to properly train employees.

STATELINE (AP) — A Lake Tahoe casino employee has been arrested on suspicion of theft after police said he made off with a bundle of $100 bills totaling $10,000 that had been accidentally dropped by a gambler.
Douglas County sheriff's deputies say the gambler had won $70,000 and was walking to an elevator from the Harrah's Tahoe casino floor when he dropped the wad of cash early Wednesday.
Contract janitorial worker Richard Ferrer is accused of sweeping the money into a dustpan, then heading to the employee break room.
The Record-Courier newspaper of Gardnerville reports the entire incident was caught on tape and the suspect told security personnel he stashed the money in a garbage can, where all but $100 was recovered.
The 36-year-old Ferrer told deputies he intended to turn the money over to his supervisor at his next break except for $100, which he planned to keep to himself. That $100 was found under the same garbage can.
The policy for both the Stateline casino and the contractor calls for employees to turn such money over to security.

Lincoln mother of five who struggled with addiction and depression died Sunday in Nebraska City, apparently from inhaling a dust cleaner.
Rachel E. Novak was found in the bathroom of a Nebraska City apartment late Sunday morning.
Otoe County Attorney David Partsch said police found a can of Blow Off Duster near her. He said her death appears to be accidental.
Novak lived in Lincoln but had been staying off and on in Nebraska City for the past year, her mother said Tuesday.
"She always struggled in school and had learning and memory problems," Beth Novak said. "Rachel was really just a good kid until her senior year in high school."
That's when she stopped taking medication for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and started to self-medicate, her mother said.
"She needed someone with her all the time helping her, and when she was left alone she was overwhelmed," Beth Novak said.
Rachel Novak's sister Carolyn Weese said her sister was very outgoing and loved animals and kids, but she struggled with drugs and was depressed.
