Mixed Messaging in the U.S. Economy; Why Kareem Rahma of 'Subway Takes' Is Hailing a Cab

from Here's the Scoop · host Yasmin Vossoughian, Christine Romans, Kareem Rahma

The May jobs report just dropped with some surprising data: 172,000 jobs were added last month, despite growing energy costs and inflation exacerbated by the war with Iran. Is the economy more resilient than people think, or are economists right to be worried about inflation outpacing wage growth? NBC News Chief Business Correspondent Christine Romans breaks down how these contradicting data points are confusing American consumers. Then, Kareem Rahma and his show “Subway Takes” — where guests share their hottest opinions while riding the subway — have become an internet phenomenon. Rahma talks to "Here's the Scoop" host Yasmin Vossoughian about why he’s trading the train for conversations in cabs for his new show, “Keep the Meter Running.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
