America’s hiring boom continued last month as employers added a surprising 528,000 jobs despite raging inflation and rising anxiety about a recession. July’s hiring was up from 398,000 in June. The unemployment rate slipped to 3.5%. The U.S. economy shrank in the first two quarters of 2022 — an informal definition of recession. But most economists believe the strong jobs market has kept the economy from slipping into a downturn.

More than two years after police officers killed 26-year-old Breonna Taylor in a deadly apartment raid in Louisville, Kentucky, the Department of Justice has announced federal charges against four of the officers involved. Senior Investigative correspondent Catherine Herridge reports.

The Department of Justice has announced federal criminal charges against four former and current Louisville police officers over their roles in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor. The charges come after the state of Kentucky failed to prosecute any police officers for Taylor's death, despite nationwide Black Lives Matter demands to investigate. "How can it be that the federal government and state government are so far apart on this case?" says Sadiqa Reynolds, president and CEO of the Louisville Urban League, who calls the federal charges "a great step in the right direction." Reynolds is demanding an investigation into Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron's prosecution of the case — which she says was either "incompetent" or "in collusion" with the police.

CBS News senior investigative correspondent Catherine Herridge joined Nikki Battiste with more on the federal charges announced against four police officers in connection with Breonna Taylor's death, and the false warrant used to search her home the day she was killed.

Louisville Urban League Director Sadiqa Reynolds said any charges still held against protesters should be dropped.
