Thank you for listening to the 12th episode of "This Week's Economy," where I briefly recap and share my insights every Friday morning on key economic and policy news at the national and state levels. Today, I cover: 1) National: What the new market data and latest jobs report indicate about the current economy, insights from the Establishment and Household Surveys, and my thoughts on the recently passed debt ceiling deal; 2) Texas: Discussion on the latest efforts in Texas to eliminate property taxes with a buy-down of school M&O property taxes using state surplus funds for what’s called compression (details here), and why this is the best path forward for Texas to prosper; 3) Other: Sneak peek of next week's exciting podcast episode with Leslie Ford discussing safety net reforms.
