The share of people without a high school degree who are in the workforce, meaning that they’re working or looking for jobs, hit a record high in July, capping an 18-month surge by that group into America’s job market, Paul Davidson reports.
Here's why that's good for the economy.

Speaking of football, you can prep for the season at home with USA Today Sports' power rankings for NFL's Week 1.

Here's what the study found.
