An underwhelming June jobs report

The Labor Department’s June jobs report came in with just 57,000 new jobs added. Economists expected double that, and while the unemployment rate ticked down, we consider why job growth may be middling. Also in this episode, we look at stagnant wage growth, a start-up that’s looking to de-extinct the woolly mammoth, the “lump of labor” fallacy, Saudi Aramco’s World Cup sponsorship, and a social worker who leads tours to supplement retirement.

A confusing economy means a less confident consumer

Fresh data on consumer confidence shows a lot of mixed signals — Americans are feeling better about the economy and where inflation is headed, but worse about job prospects and family finances. Also in this episode, we look at the widening gender wage gap, a small business owner dealing with tariffs, how remote work is giving families more options, and growing natural gas infrastructure.

The AI inflation roller coaster

Economists are forecasting that AI is likely to cause prices to rise over the course of the next year. On Thursday, both Microsoft and Apple said they’re raising prices some of their flagship products thanks to skyrocketing memory and storage costs. But AI could end up making a whole lot of things cheaper — eventually. Also in this episode: how one union negotiated huge savings on healthcare prices, a look at the garage sale culture in Alaska, and the return of the restaurant matchbook.

Inflation sped up in May. What's to blame?

Inflation was up 4.1% in May, according to the BEA’s personal consumption expenditures index. We know hot energy prices, resulting from the war in Iran, were part of that spike. But cut out energy and food, and inflation still hit a three-year high, at 3.4%. So what else is driving the increase? Also in this episode: Q1 GDP is revised up, Wyoming navigates the consequences of property tax cuts, and Great Lakes cargo ships make up a vital branch of U.S. supply chains.

I never miss an episode

15 апр.

I’ve been a daily listener of Marketplace for years, and it’s one of the few podcasts I never miss. As someone who follows markets and the economy closely, I appreciate how the show consistently breaks down complex, often dry economic topics into stories that are clear, relevant, and actually enjoyable to listen to. Kai Ryssdal’s delivery is a big part of what makes it work—smart, approachable, and just the right amount of humor to keep things engaging without losing the substance. The show does a great job connecting macro trends to real-world impact, which makes it valuable whether you’re deep in the weeds or just trying to stay informed. If you want to better understand what’s happening in the economy without feeling like you’re sitting through a lecture, Marketplace is hard to beat

Here on Earth 1, the economy very OBVIOUSLY SUCKS. The experts and segments are so out of touch that it's almost unlistenable. If you can't see that a LOT of folks are struggling then you really should dig deeper.🫤
Too negative

Used to love this podcast, but it’s become too depressing and feels like it’s just pushing an agenda anymore. Too bad
Endless Shrimp at Red Lobster

More is at stake for the oceans than whether or not Red Lobster goes under offering endless shrimp. Who supplies this “endless shrimp” supply to Red Lobster? Likely, no one reputable. I recommend watching Seaspiricy.
