The U.S. economy put in a strong showing at the start of 2026, following a year of disruptions that depressed both the demand for labor and its supply. Employers added 130,000 jobs in January, the Labor Department reported on Wednesday, in a report delayed from last week by a short government shutdown. Mike Walden, N.C. State Economics Professor Emeritus, joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the report.
