Painful Jobs Report, Painful Podcast

from Moody's Talks - Inside Economics · host Mark Zandi, Marisa DiNatale, Cris deRitis, Dante DeAntonio

There was nothing redeeming in the July jobs report, and the podcast crew covered all the pain points: weak job gains, downward revisions, fewer hours worked, slowing wage growth, and a worrisome drop in labor force participation. Fittingly, we had to battle through our own painful series of technical problems while recording - curious whether you’ll notice.
