And welcome to juggling chainsaws. I'm your host, Tara Clemsadon, joined by my illustrious co-host, Kim Henderson. Kim, how's it going today? Talk to me,

girl. Tara, we're back. It's going great. It's going tremendous. I like to hear that. That's good

news. You doing well? There are no complaints. We've got a lot of good stuff to get into today.

We sure do.

I'm excited.

And I want to have some fun.

Like, let's have some fun.

I know we'll get to the business, kind of the updates from the labor statistics.

I think that's always a good touch point because at the end of the day, this podcast is about juggling life, career, work, family, you know, just sort of everything, a broad base.

But I thought we could have some fun and get into some of the airplane horror stories that we discussed last podcast, but also just some life etiquette. I've,

I've been out and about a little bit more just running errands and doing, you know,

doing life stuff and just seeing, you know, just seeing the changes of, of, uh, the humanity,

I will say is it without sound sounding like a bitter, beddy, block-rocking boomer,

it's just like a little shocking sometimes.

So I want to get into some of that, ask you some fun questions and some fun scenarios.

But let's first touch base about what's going on in the

workforce and the labor market. I know the statistics for this, I think August were released

a few weeks ago, and I know it's grim, but talk to me on what the latest and greatest

stats are and, you know, what we're looking at in terms of broad-based outlook.

Okay, you got it.
