We will, of course, review the week that was. We'll talk tariffs. We can't not really. But then we'll go to the movies. From American Public Media. This is Marketplace. In Los Angeles, I'm Kyle Rizzol.

It is Friday.

Today, this one is the 14th of November.

It is always to have you along, everybody.

Hey, the shutdown's over.

Everything economic is back to normal, right?

Okay, no, I know that. But that is where we're

going to start. Kate Davidson is at Bloomberg. Courtney Brown is at Axios. Hey, you too.

Okay. So, Kate, I'm going to start with you. The BLS, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, came out today

and said next Thursday, the 20th, will be September

Jobs Day.

So six, seven-ish weeks late.

While that is, of course, good news.

What's your sense of where we are with knowing where this economy is going?

Yeah, well, I think that we've obviously been paying very close attention to all the private sector data that we've still been getting.

It's not a replacement for the sort of gold standard government data.

But what we've seen and we've heard Fed officials talk about is that a lot of that data suggests the labor market has continued to cool.

Now, how worried should we be about that? How bad is it?

It's kind of depends on how you look at it. I mean, we have continued to get layoff data that is

filings for jobless claims from the states each week. And that gives us a sense that those claims,

the continuing claims, so people that are staying on uninsurance, they're trending higher, but they haven't spiked, new claims haven't spiked, even though we've seen all of these big layoff announcements from companies that are reporting earnings.

So I think that the labor market is, is, you know, not great, but hasn't drastically deteriorated since the last time that we saw a snapshot of it.
