from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

First time jobless claims released Thursday were low but the jobs report showed nearly half a million fewer jobs were created than expected. The culprit? All fingers are pointed to the delta variant. And as much of the Philadelphia area and parts of the east coast is recovering from the remnants of Ida and the tornadoes and flooding that resulted, it's never been more clear that we need an infrastructure bill. David Fiorenza, economist at the Villanova School of Business joins KYW Newsradio In Depth to talk about what happened this week in the economy and what it means for all of us in our daily lives.
