Court places McCloskeys' law licenses on probation - Axios

Two white attorneys who made global headlines in 2020 when they pointed guns at Black Lives Matter protesters in St. Louis were disciplined by the Missouri Supreme Court on Tuesday.

Driving the news: Mark McCloskey, a Republican candidate for Missouri's Senate seat, and his wife, Patricia McCloskey, had their law licenses suspended by the court, but this was stayed on the condition they do a year's probation.

Flashback: The personal injury attorneys pleaded guilty last year to one count of fourth-degree assault after pointing guns at anti-racism protesters outside their St. Louis mansion in July 2020, but they were later pardoned by Missouri's governor.

What they're saying: Mark McCloskey told AP he was disappointed with the court's decision but would comply with the order.

• "I think the reason why we were asked to be suspended had more to do with politics than anything else," he said.
• "But we respect the Supreme Court’s opinion, although we disagree."

Access to substantial real-time labor data could help the workforce more reliably follow employment trends.

The results: More roles get filled when employers and workers have a better understanding of which job skills are in demand — leading to a healthier economy.
