11/4/22 On The Mark: Mark & John Shipman host Financial Friday (jobless numbers and childcare), then Ryan Mock (Dem candidate 107th) and open phones

Financial Friday focuses on the latest jobless numbers and the childcare crisis in The Valley. Robert Garrett, President, and CEO Greater Susquehanna Valley Chamber of Commerce, and Art Thomas, Chairman GSVCC, President Meck-Tech and Diversified Construction Inc., with their reaction to the latest US and PA jobless numbers. We’ll also got an update on how the childcare issues are having a big negative impact on the local economy. They said the teacher, worker and caregiver shortage at the childcare facilities, long waiting lists for the parents, and the need to get more (expensive?!?) stars at the facility, are all combining for a big drag on families and business. Ryan Mock, Coal Township, Democratic candidate for state house 107th district, on his background, why he is running for office and what he sees as the big issues in the campaign. We chatted about how he is campaigning and how people can contact him. We discussed jobs, abortion, Convention of States, education, and the pandemic. John returned with his commonsense conservatism only to find we’ve sunk further into the abyss. We discuss government spending, changes, solutions, Universal Pre-K, federal subsidies, private business subsidies, as well as government censoring Facebook and Twitter.
