Show Notes
Fridays jobs report anticipated, with economists predicting sixty thousand new jobs and unemployment holding steady at four point four percent. This follows Februarys surprising job loss and Januarys robust gain. Wild swings in job numbers can be attributed to weather, strikes, and methodology changes. The Middle East war has increased gas prices and shipping costs, potentially spreading economic pain. Layoff claims remain low, but March announcements jumped to sixty thousand six hundred twenty planned cuts, with AI behind fifteen thousand three hundred forty-one of them. Economists now predict unemployment climbing to four point seven percent by mid-to-late year.
