## Resource

The Bureau of Labor Statistics is releasing its August jobs report today. But what the numbers might not show are tens of thousands of people who stopped working last month after losing their work authorization. Many of those who immigrated to the U.S. had their Temporary Protected Status expire at the end of July. We look at why that won’t be reflected in the data this morning before discussing how the NIL landscape is changing the game for college athletes. Every story has an economic angle.
