The March unemployment rate fell — but there's a catch
The U.S. economy added 178,000 new jobs in March, and the unemployment rate went down. That’s a big improvement from last month’s disappointing jobs report, but there’s more than meets the eye to these numbers. We’ll explain in today’s episode. Also: SpaceX filed paperwork for an IPO, and the company’s high predicted valuation isn’t the only thing making waves. Plus, some food for thought before this weekend’s Final Four basketball games and inevitable betting ads: “This Is Uncomfortable” host Reema Khrais explains the effects of prediction markets on our wallets and our brains.
A new tariff on imported medication
President Donald Trump signed an executive order yesterday that threatened tariffs of up to 100% on imported medications. The executive order also overhauls steel, copper, and aluminum tariffs. We’ve got all the details. Also in this episode: a breakdown of the new March jobs report. Plus, David Brancaccio speaks to a vintage car converter who turns old cars into electric vehicles.
About that presidential address...
The president made the case for the Iran war, and markets were not impressed. After President Donald Trump's address to the nation last night, the price of oil went up, and stocks went down. This is a total reversal of what markets were doing going into the speech, when stocks rallied, and oil prices fell. We'll get into it all and provide some key takeaways. Then, Marketplace’s David Brancaccio takes a trip to a West Hollywood pawn shop.
