Hope you had a great weekend and are off to a really solid start to your week. We actually had a really busy weekend of news, a really busy 72 hours, in fact. So I thought, let's just catch up a little bit on some of the news that you may have missed. Hopefully you were able to relax a little bit over the weekend. And we'll get you ready for the week ahead. As I look into different schedules, I sort of see, you know, what does the economic data calendar tell us? What does the White House schedule tell us about what to watch for this week? I'm going to knock on wood. I mean, we really,

1:28.7

maybe twice. We don't see a bunch of really important landmark events that I want to call your

expected a leaked opinion from the Supreme Court and that changed the new cycle for the entire week ahead. So we'll leave a lot of room, but I think that's why it's important to kind of catch you up on these stories that happened over the weekend because any number of them could ignite into further storyline. So let's start off with what happened on Friday. We got a jobs report. A jobs report is our monthly report card about what does the job market look like

bit because some of the data will sort of rise to the surface in the hours that follow. So overall,

2:11.1

this is a really solid jobs report. We had more than 428,000 jobs created in America last month

2:16.8

in April. That was better than expectations of 400,000.

2:20.6

And there's always a game of expectations.

2:22.4

So when it's better than expectations,

2:24.0

that's also an added plus to this number,

2:26.4

at least when Wall Street looks at it.

2:28.0

You have the unemployment rate right in that mid 3% range,

2:31.2

which is historically very low.
