| 0:00.0 | Hey, there brain stuff listeners. This is not your normal episode. We've teamed up with the long |
| 0:05.9 | running podcast on the job to bring you a few samples of what they do, which is engaged with |
| 0:11.2 | professionals from all kinds of businesses about what they do, from teaching to butchery to |
| 0:16.8 | cybersecurity. Through these stories, the team tries to help explain and explore different |
| 0:23.3 | aspects of what's going on in our economy. They're sponsoring us to run these samples, |
| 0:28.5 | and I think it's a good fit because you may notice that I don't do many episodes about economics |
| 0:33.9 | here. There's a reason for that. Like, if you want an explainer on quantum physics, I've got you, |

| 0:46.8 | so we're sharing it today. The will feature some previews of future episodes in the future, |

| 1:22.8 | of On The Job, our seventh, in fact. So over the next eight episodes, I'll be speaking with folks |
| 1:29.2 | who have finally folded up those pandemic sweatpants and are back out there doing what they love |
| 1:34.8 | and keeping America moving forward. This season on The Job is on the move. So come along for the ride. |
| 1:46.4 | It's become a bit of a tradition here at On The Job to start the season by speaking with an |
| 1:50.8 | economist, someone who can help us understand the current state of our labor market. |
| 1:56.3 | So to kick things off, I gave a call to Raleigh North Carolina to speak with Dr. Michael L. Walden, |
| 2:02.8 | Professor Emeritus of North Carolina State University, and veteran economist with over 40 years |
| 2:08.8 | of expertise. But before you go thinking, oh no, an economist hit the fast forward button. |
