CARL AZUZ, cnn ANCHOR: Welcome to cnn STUDENT NEWS. We are glad to see you this Tuesday. The show begins with the report involving the issue of

profiling. It`s defined as making generalizations about people based on their behavior or characteristics like race or gender.

The U.S. government is expanding its law enforcement guidelines regarding profiling. Previously, it was banned when it came to race and ethnicity.

The new rules announced yesterday billed on that making it illegal for law enforcement to profile people based on religion, country of origin, gender

or sexual orientation.

Outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder calls profiling ineffective and says it waists resources and undermines the public trust. The new rules apply

to federal law enforcement operations, and anyone involved in them. They don`t apply to state and local operations. They also don`t apply to U.S.

intelligence gathering, or to security screenings at borders and airports. Some critics are calling these guidelines too loose, and saying they will

allow the FBI and border security officials to continue profiling people. Airline security experts have said that profiling behavior, but not race or

religion can help reduce travel risks.

2014 has shaped up to be the best year for hiring since the 1990s. The U.S. unemployment rate stayed at 5.8 percent in October and November. But

employers added 321,000 jobs last months. A major increase. Some of these jobs were likely due to seasonal hiring. Temporary retail positions that

will end after the holiday season.

And wages are still a week spot. The median income, what Americans are making, is about the same as it was in 1995.

CHRISTINE ROMANS, cnn CORRESPONDENT: The job market is gaining momentum. 321,000 net new jobs added in November, the most since January, 2012. The

trend - encouraging. Ten months of job growth over 200,000, the best year now for job growth since 1999. Digging inside these numbers, I see the

quality of jobs starting to improve. The first several years of this recovery featured low paid work, but now the Labor Department calls jobs

strength wide spread, spanning professional and business services, retail, health care. Yes, the economy is adding fast food workers and low wage

work, but hiring is also picking up in warehouses, factories, office parks, hospitals and labs.

Now, the jobless rate is 5.8 percent, still the lowest in six years. Wages grew slightly in November. But this has been a missing part of the

recovery for several years now. Even as demand grows for skilled and unskilled labor, wages haven`t risen. That makes workers feel this

recovery less. And balance this week taught us a lot about the health of the economy, the best November auto sales in years, record high stocks,

very strong job creation and the lowest gas prices in more than four years. All pretty good signs for the American economy and the American consumer.
