Welcome to the Jill on Money Show. It's Friday, May 8th, and we are here talking about whatever is on your mind financially.

Maybe that is about a house. Maybe it's about a job. It just so happens. We are expecting a jobs report today.

And the labor market is so weird. It is actually like kind of

crazy making in some respects because it's not really bad, but it's not really good. And so many of you

have been thinking about what is it about this job market that leaves you kind of stale. Maybe it's

just that. That doesn't feel like there's tons of churn, not a lot of opportunity.

If you're thinking about starting your own business, hey, guess what?

It's Small Business Week.

And I put a long blog post up on the website about how to start a small business.

And there is inevitably going to be like follow up questions about people saying,

oh, you didn't talk about these 25 other things. I know. It's just like a cursory reading.

If you are ready to start your own business, Mark and I would love to talk to you. All you need to

do is go to our website, Jillonmoney.com, click the contact us button. Write us a note. Tell us

what's going on. And if you want to join us live, check the box. We'd love to have you on the air

live with us while you are on the website. Subscribe to the free weekly newsletter because what happens

with that newsletter, you kind of get a recap of what's been going on for the week.

And then you'll also get blog posts. So you'll be able to get that how to start a small business

blog post right in your inbox. So it's very convenient. Okay, right now, let us talk to Patty.

She joins us from New York, not New York City, but the state of New York. Patty,

welcome to the program. How can we help you out? Hi. Thank you so much for having me. Of course.

So I am going to graduate from graduate school next week. And so I'm kind of transitioning back into the

workforce. And I just want to see, you know, how I'm doing, where I'm going and things like that.
