“The risk of workplace violence is a serious occupational hazard for nurses and other health care workers,” a recent study by National Nurses United found. “Countless acts of assault, battery, aggression, and threats of violence that routinely take place in health care settings demonstrate a frightening trend of increasing violence faced by health care workers throughout the country.”

Last week’s shooting that left four people dead at a Tulsa medical center is an all-too-familiar scenario for health care workers across the nation. In another hospital attack, a man stabbed a doctor and two nurses at Encino Hospital Medical Center’s emergency department and barricaded himself inside. On the same day as the Tulsa shooting, a county jail inmate receiving treatment at a Miami Valley, Ohio, hospital stole a security guard’s gun, killed the guard and escaped before fatally shooting himself. And that’s just one of at least six deadly assaults in medical buildings that happened in Texas, California, New Jersey, Minnesota and elsewhere in the past three years.

And, the May jobs report showed the US economy added a robust 390,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate held steady at a low 3.6%. May’s jobs growth is the weakest pace of hiring in more than a year, but wage growth fell to 5.2% in May from 5.5% in April. This suggests the crippling labor shortage is easing up and inflation is starting to tick down across the economy.

Finally, July Corn traded at $7.27, and July beans $17.00. July Chicago wheat traded at $10.40, down more than $1.00 per bushel.
