Show Notes
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.
