There were 103,000 jobs created in September, yet unemployment remained at 9.1 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Tiffany Carter believes she picked a safe career path. The CCBC Essex student is studying to be a nurse. The trouble, Carter believes, won’t be keeping a job but just trying to land one out of college. “I know nursing is a great field, but everything I’m hearing is that it’s harder and harder to get your foot in the door as a new grad,” said Carter, 19, of Essex. Whether job-seekers are recent college graduates, experienced professionals or people exploring new career options, finding work in America continues to be difficult. The unemployment level held steady at 9.1 percent as the U.S. economy added 103,000 jobs in September, according to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The growth exceeded expectations from …

America should be more willing to engage other countries and less reliant on military spending, said U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin during a speech at CCBC Essex on Tuesday. Cardin was the guest speaker at the community college as part of the school’s Constitution Week celebration. The Pikesville Democrat used the platform to speak on the evolution of the Constitution over the 224 years since it was adopted on Sept. 17, 1787. Cardin’s speech also centered on how the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks have changed America during the last 10 years. He likened that attack to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941 that led to America entering World War II. “Americans understood [after Pearl Harbor] that if we were going to protect our people …
