Australia’s economy added 76,000 jobs last month as employers defied signs of slowing demand to expand the national workforce beyond 14m for the first time. The drop in the unemployment rate came even as the participation rate rose to a record 66.9%, meaning more people were looking for work.

Our research shows that aged care work is burdened by three types of stigma – physical, social and moral.

Physical stigma refers to work performed under particularly dangerous conditions, or being exposed to dirt, bodily fluids and death. Examples of jobs with high physical stigma include firefighting, working with sewage and being an undertaker.

Social stigma is associated with work seen as low-status, because it involves being in a servile relationship and working with people belonging to marginalised group – in this case, older people.

Moral stigma involves work that is viewed as deceptive or unethical. Examples include used car salespeople and loan sharks. Our findings point to a moral stigma around aged care work, which is reinforced by media coverage of elder abuse and neglect.

The Neumann Drive will be used by space companies in the US which carry devices on their satellites such as nets or robotic arms to capture orbital waste.

The thruster would then enable those satellites to return to Earth with the waste to be melted down into more fuel.

"It helps the satellites to de-orbit when the lifetime is complete, it could be after three years or five years, so we're helping de-orbiting or reducing space junk," Mr Baig said.

Well nothig really, since our beloved media are run by the same Americans anyway...
