general motors ceo telling office workers they've got to come back to the office three days a week. originally the ceo had promised permanent flexibility. >>> it's jobs friday. we just got the numbers into the newsroom. we brought them to you at the top of the hour. 199,000 jobs added last month. you do have to figure in the returning strikers last month, but the two numbers that really stand out are unemployment and wages. the unemployment rate fell from 3.9% to 3.7%. wages increased relatively small, up 0.4% month to-month. for the average person, that's about 12 cents an hour. that's good news for the economy in general, but rising wages are a sign of inflation. we're looking for evidence of softening as the economy -- as evidence the interest rates are working and we don't need any more of them, thank you, fed. so conflicting data today. wall street is not quite sure what to make of it. >>> the 49ers play the seahawks this weekend. a lot of people, no doubt, betting on the game. you can bet on specific parts of the game called parlays. you can bet there will be a turnover on the
