Everybody needs money. That's why they call it money.

From full global headquarters, this is Motley Fool Money.

Welcome to Motley Fool Money. Thanks for being here.

I'm your host, Chris Hill, and I'm joined by Motley Fool's Senior Analyst, Seth Jason James early and Ron Gross.

Guys, good to see you. Good to see you, Chris.

Chris, we've got the latest from Microsoft, Apple, and more.

We'll talk about the business of happiness and the future of pro sports with tech mogul and professional sports owner Ted Leonesis.

Plus, as always, a look at the stocks on our radar.

But we begin with the big macro. Unemployment fell below 9% for the first time in nearly two years as private sector employers added 222,000 jobs in February.

And retailers posted a 4.2% sales increase compared to a year ago.

Ron Gross, let me start with you. What did you think of the unemployment numbers?

Yeah, these look pretty good, actually, unlike maybe previous weeks where there were some shenanigans going on with the numbers.

This actually looks relatively strong. Let's not start celebrating yet. We're not out of the woods.

But the numbers look good. I think it's important to remember the real unemployment rate.

If you take the people that are working part time instead of full time and the people that have stopped looking because they're frustrated, the real unemployment rate is almost 16%.

But the good news is that number is coming down as well. So I like the report.

But you're not popping the champagne just yet.

Yeah, James.

Let me ask Ron this. I'm a macro skeptic.

I don't pay maybe as much attention to the employment rate as Ron does.

But when it is time to start celebrating, how should I celebrate?

That is an excellent question. I'm going to give you five minutes.
