Football fans: It’s time to kick back and relax with some Thursday Night Football as the Denver Broncos (3-3) face the New Orleans Saints (2-4) tonight at the Caesars Superdome.

The Los Angeles Chargers put an end to the Broncos’ 3-game win streak on Sunday, Oct. 13, with their 23-16 victory. Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton called it a “disappointing loss.”

“They ran the ball better than we did. We mustered up some offense late in the game. All of this starts with me. We have to be better offensively. We have to protect the ball better. That is what I saw. We will go from there. We have a short week,” said Payton, adding that the team will have to learn from the game and move forward.

Although hiring across the U.S. remains robust, some job sectors are positively red-hot.

Demand for health care workers — specifically physicians and surgeons — is up 87% compared with February 2020, or just before the pandemic, according to new data from job site Indeed. Hiring for other health care roles, such as mental health therapists as well as and personal care and home health workers, are also up substantially, by 82% and 67%, respectively. 

“No matter how the economy is doing, people are always going to want or need health care,” Indeed economist Cory Stahle told CBS MoneyWatch. “It’s interesting that we’ve been seeing this trend for a couple years, and we haven’t seen it turn around yet.”

By contrast, companies in other sectors that went on hiring sprees during the pandemic have pulled back. Demand for software developers has fallen 31% compared to before the pandemic, while jobs in information design and documentation — roles that are conducive to remote work — have also slumped, Indeed’s data shows. 

“They shot up so high during the pandemic when people were working from home, and now they are rebalancing,” Stahle said. “It has come down after a hiring spree.”

Of the 46 sectors Indeed analyzed, here are the five sectors with the biggest jump in job postings since February 2020:

• Physicians and surgeons (87%)
• Therapy (82%)
• Personal care and home health (67%)
• Civil engineering (65%)
• Sports (48%) (includes coaches, personal trainers, physical therapists)

Here are five sectors where job postings on Indeed have fallen sharply compared with just before the pandemic:

• Software development (-31%)
• Information design and documentation (-31%)
• Media and communications (-23%)
• Mathematics (-23%)
• Marketing (-22%)

Overall, the U.S. labor market remains healthy, government data shows. The nation’s unemployment rate in September fell to 4.1%, up from a 55-year-low of 3.4% in April of 2023, but low by historical benchmarks. 

Notably, hiring was strong across a range of industries, with nearly 58% of private industries adding jobs last month, according to Oxford Economics. 

Employee pay has also accelerated as the economy recovers from the pandemic. Between February 2020 and September of this year, wages for workers in production and nonsupervisory roles rose a total of more than 26%, according to a new analysis from the Center for American Progress. 

Consumer prices over that period climbed a total of 21.4%, the liberal-leaning think tank found. 

Liam Payne’s former One Direction bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik released a statement on Thursday saying they are “completely devastated” by his death. 

Payne died Wednesday after falling into the interior patio of a hotel in Buenos Aires, officials in Argentina said. He was 31-years-old. 

“We’re completely devastated by the news of Liam’s passing,” they wrote on Instagram. “In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say. But for now, we will take some time to grieve and process the loss of our brother, who we loved dearly. The memories we shared with him will be treasured forever. For now, our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and the fans who loved him alongside us. We will miss him terribly. We love you Liam.”

Formed in 2010 by “X Factor” judges including Simon Cowell, One Direction quickly became one of the biggest pop bands in the world — selling 70 million records by 2020.

After the band announced they were taking an extended hiatus in 2016, each member signed their own recording deals and released at least one studio album as a solo artist.

Tomlinson posted a detailed Instagram post on Thursday saying, “I am beyond devastated to be writing this but yesterday I lost a brother. Liam was somebody I looked up to everyday, such a positive, funny, and kind soul.”

He said the two met when Payne was 16 and he was 18, and Tomlinson was “instantly amazed by his voice,” praising him as an “incredible song writer with a great sense of melody.”

Tomlinson wrote that “we often spoke of getting back in the studio together to try and recreate the writing chemistry we had built up in the band.” 

Payne had a son in 2017 with former “X Factor” judge Cheryl Cole.

“I want you to know that if Bear ever needs me I will be the Uncle he needs in his life and tell him stories of how amazing his dad was,” Tomlinson wrote. “I wish I got chance to say goodbye and tell you one more time how much I loved you,” he said.
