The contrarian jobs report

Overall employment dropped last month, according to the monthly jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. At the same time, employers added jobs to the economy. Weird, right? Well, two surveys make up the monthly report — one of households and one of employers. And they can disagree. Plus, more part-time workers want full-time jobs, Gap is on a roll, and professional basketball has become a game regulations.

This isn’t the 2018 trade war

The Federal Reserve may be steering the economy through another trade war. But this time, the inflation of the last few years complicates its task. Also in this episode: Unemployed Americans struggle to snag new positions, banks’ unrealized losses jump, and an aerospace tech startup sets up shop in Cumberland County, Tennessee.

Uncertainty is a certainty

Ask an economist what’s driving decision-making right now, and the answer may well be “uncertainty.” In this episode, the unpredictable environment fuels a range of change: The labor market softens, surveys of the service sector point in opposite directions and Treasury yields sink. Plus, the Commerce Department just dissolved two expert advisory groups, putting the trustworthiness of future federal data into question.

Tariff pain and retaliation

They’re here: President Donald Trump’s 25% tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico begin today, as well as an additional 10% tax on goods from China. In this episode, we hear from business owners who are caught in the middle of trade policy chaos and explain why Texas is likely to suffer in particular. Plus, Forest Service layoffs devastate rural western mountain towns, and small warehouses are in demand but hard to come by.

Bird flu spreads its wings

As bird flu proliferates across U.S. farms, infecting chickens, cows and even humans, some public health experts worry that that funding to deal with it has been inadequate. Above all, they say we need stronger incentives for farmers and farmworkers to test for and report cases of the virus. Plus, the manufacturing sector’s outlook remains mixed, two-thirds of Americans say they have been victims of a financial scam and what could happen if we removed government spending from GDP calculations.

Will Hollywood’s behind-the-scenes workers stay?

In the past decade, filming outside of Los Angeles has become a cost-effective option for many major studios. And lower housing costs are driving many lighting techs, grips and gaffers to follow. With roughly 13,000 homes lost in January’s wildfires, staying in LA will be even harder for those workers. Also on the show, the rising cost of utilities and a second act for frozen foods.

Hope or fear?

Capital goods orders picked up in January — that’s stuff businesses buy that’ll last a while, like tools and equipment. Is it a sign business owners have money to spend? Or, have tariffs fears and economic uncertainty spooked them into buying things before it’s too late? Also in this episode: Unemployment claims tick up (and that’s not even counting laid-off federal workers), architects stress fire resilience in rebuilding and used car prices rise.

The GDP equation

The second Trump administration has made spending cuts a priority — already, the president has enacted a funding freeze and laid off thousands of federal workers. Reduced government spending will have major ripple effects, though, like shrinking the nation’s GDP. Also in this episode: Trump’s move toward Russia threatens longstanding relationships with European allies and Instacart forecasts a growth slowdown.

Informative show with valuable reporting on all aspects of the economy

Marketplace and its sibling shows from APM are an invaluable resource to listeners. They offer thorough coverage of the American and world economy, have explainers that are both timely and don’t insult your intelligence and a bench of wonderful reporters that have continued to hone their skills over the years. This includes hosts such as Kai Ryssdal and David Brancaccio who are very insightful while keeping it fresh, funny and upbeat, even in the face of difficult times (I started listening prior to the 2008-2009 financial crisis. Highly recommended.
Excellent Program

I’ve listened to this show for years and love it for my economic news. However since Trump 2.0, Kai Ryssdal has become insufferable to listen to always bashing Trump and making this show more political than economics. Unfortunately I’m going to be unfollowing and trying to find an unbiased economics podcast.
Done with this podcast

I’m a longtime listener of this podcast but am done with it. The political bias has gotten worse and I am done dealing with it. They take shots at the Trump administration all the time. I’m done. I just want an unbiased daily report and have found other alternatives. Why did you have to mess this podcast up? It’s not difficult.
Far too much political commentary

I’ve been listening to this show every day for several years and had enjoyed it, especially the Adventures in Housing and My Economy pieces. However, Kai’s political bias has always shown through and it’s gotten old. I’m not a fan of the Trump administration either but can’t listen to four years’ worth of complaining about it. Every. Single. Episode bashes this administration. What happened to presenting unbiased financial news?? I’m unsubscribing from this negative energy
The switch has been flipped

Where were all these stories of inequality and economic doom and gloom when Biden was president? Four years of “transitory inflation” and “not a recession” and “the economy is strong” and now every story is about wealth inequality and the price of eggs. Marketplace is Government propaganda plain and simple.
Thanks

Kai is a “national treasure.” Thanks for the clear statement yesterday about what is going on in the federal government. The program is notable for its consistent honesty and integrity.

Undue I OCD. H uihnch h

As a longtime listener to NPR, over 40 years, I’ve seen the station gradually move more to the left. I suppose they have to cater their base. Even so I just can’t do it anymore . The latest clutching of pearls about Elon Musk. For a podcast to be about money and about the marketplace to completely ignore the actual figures of misappropriated funds and outright theft to the American taxpayer is just a bridge too far.
Want Facts Not Commentary

Kai’s political leanings have not been hidden, but I’ve followed this show for 10 years because of factual reporting. Thursday’s commentary stated opinions as facts without supporting the facts. That is not why I listen. I’m unfollowing as I look for a source of balanced financial news.
Solid sources and telling

I really enjoy the perspectives of actual business owners, and the use of out of the way places to bring anecdotes or even full stories like the one in Crossville. Thoughtful, resourceful, thorough reporting.
