The latest U.S. jobs report makes it clear that Donald Trump will be inheriting the same two-track economy that plagued his predecessor. Hiring is solid, and the unemployment rate is low — but some long term problems persist. They include a stubbornly high number of men who are out of work and have given up looking. The jobless rate dropped from 4.9 percent to 4.6 percent last month, mainly because of those who are jobless but are no longer looking for work.
