Shutdown Pain Spreads Across America

from WSJ What’s News · host The Wall Street Journal

A.M. Edition for Oct. 8. The federal shutdown enters its second week, with strain spreading across the U.S. A new Trump administration memo casts doubt on whether furloughed workers will receive back pay once the government reopens. Plus, with Federal data frozen by the shutdown, Wall Street’s own numbers point to a cooling job market and rising unemployment. And, WSJ’s Margherita Stancati on why Milan, Italy is becoming a home for the super rich. Caitlin McCabe hosts.  Sign up for the WSJ’s free What’s News newsletter.
