Podcasts about labor statistics

In this episode, I sit down with William Beach, former Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, to dig into how America's most important economic data are produced. We talk about the nuts and bolts of how the BLS jobs numbers are collected, processed, and released, as well as why revisions happen and what they really mean. Bill shares his perspective on the commissioner's role, the challenges of falling survey response rates, and how statistical agencies can rebuild public trust in their work. We also touch on his experiences working across two administrations and his ideas for the future of federal data. This conversation sheds light on a system that is often misunderstood, yet vital for understanding the economy.Subscribe to the PolicyViz Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.Become a patron of the PolicyViz Podcast for as little as a buck a monthFollow me on Instagram, LinkedIn, Substack, X, Website, YouTubeEmail: jon@policyviz.com

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming field service operations across skilled trades, and HVAC is no exception. AI in HVAC is reshaping how technicians access information, troubleshoot systems, and stay productive on the job. As the industry faces an ongoing labor shortage and rising equipment complexity, the need for smarter tools is urgent, especially as HVAC employment is projected to grow 9% through 2033, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Many experienced technicians are nearing retirement, leaving fewer experts to mentor the next generation and increasing the demand for AI-driven training support. How can AI reduce friction for techs in the field, deliver real-time support, and preserve decades of tribal knowledge before it disappears?In this episode of Straight Outta Crumpton, host Greg Crumpton welcomes Jerry Zhang, Co-founder of Keycard, to explore how AI in HVAC can streamline information access and help HVAC teams get smarter, faster, and more connected.In this conversation, Greg and Jerry discuss:How AI can turn product manuals into real-time, voice-activated troubleshooting guides.Why high-stakes technical work demands AI that cites exact sources—no hallucinations allowed.How data from past service tickets can drive future training, routing, and performance insights.Jerry Zhang is Co-founder of Keycard, an AI platform that transforms equipment documentation into searchable, technician-ready resources. Before launching Keycard, Jerry co-founded an AI company that predicted breakout music artists, which was later acquired by Warner Music Group. He served as SVP of A&R Platforms there before entering the HVAC space. He holds a degree in engineering and brings over a decade of AI innovation experience across industries.

"When you face bad economic numbers, you've got two choices: fix the economy or attack the numbers," says University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers. Today, we'll discuss what to make of how the Bureau of Labor Statistics collects data on jobs and inflation, as well as the doubts cast on BLS under the second Trump administration. But first, grocery prices jumped in August. Thing is, tariffs aren't to blame.

The Federal Reserve Board is meeting next week, where they will decide whether or not the country will cut interest rates—something President Trump has been very vocally in favor of. More recently, after the President fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there has been a downward revision to the number of jobs created to the tune of 911,000. FOX Business White House correspondent Edward Lawrence joins FOX's Jessica Rosenthal to discuss how dramatically wrong the recent labor market data was and the palace intrigue ahead of the September Fed meeting.

//The Wire//2300Z September 10, 2025////PRIORITY////BLUF: CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATED AT EVENT IN UTAH. RUSSIAN DRONES ENTER POLISH AIRSPACE, SEVERAL SHOT DOWN BY POLISH AIR FORCE. VIOLENT MURDER SUSPECT REMAINS FUGITIVE IN NEW YORK. // -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Poland: Yesterday evening multiple Russian drones were observed flying out of the warzone in Ukraine and into Polish airspace. Polish military authorities issued various airspace closures and scrambled aircraft to intercept these drones. U.S. Air Force aircraft were also observed responding to the crisis, having scrambled at least one F-35 to attempt to find the drones. As the crisis developed Poland issued a large-scale shelter-in-place order, encompassing much of the eastern regions of the country, home to roughly 9 million people. No one was killed, and none of the drones appear to have been targeting anything in Poland as roughly a dozen drones were discovered crashed in farmers fields in eastern districts of the country.Analyst Comment: So far, the number of drones that entered Polish airspace has varied. Most reports seem to settle on a figure of around a dozen drones of varying type, but the true number has not been confirmed. Poland did confirm that several drones were shot down inside their airspace, though the exact number was not provided.-HomeFront-Utah: This afternoon Charlie Kirk was assassinated at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University in Orem.Analyst Comment: This is a developing situation at the time of this report, and the situation remains very dynamic and multiple malign actors may be involved. After the shot, an elderly man (who was identified as George Zinn) was tackled in the crowd by those who thought he was the shooter. After some time, it became clear that Zinn was not the shooter but actually an agitator of some sort. While this is speculative, this individual behaved as though he may have been a spotter and/or an intentional distraction from the actual shooter, who may have taken the shot from an elevated position some distance away from the event. Some video evidence from the scene does indicate that an individual was spotted lying prone in a tactical position on the roof of an adjacent building. This afternoon, the FBI stated that they had one suspect in custody, other than the individual identified as George Zinn. More details to follow as information becomes available.North Carolina: Societal tensions remain extremely high following the release of the full murder tape of Iryna Zarutska. President Trump has called for the death penalty to be applied in this case, and the extremely shocking and disturbing nature of the murder is causing larger questions to be asked.Analyst Comment: In short, this horrific murder (and now along with that of Charlie Kirk) has moved the goalposts toward an acknowledgement of reality more than anything in recent memory. The defense is also trying to tee up an insanity defense, releasing statements that suggest the killer might have been mentally ill. However, the audio from the murder tape confirms that the murderer had planned and pre-established a story for the murder, stating that the victim had provoked him in some way (which the tape also confirms she did not do). Considering that the murderer will be tried by a jury of his peers probably *in Charlotte*, this is an important distinction to remember.Washington D.C. - Yesterday the Bureau of Labor Statistics posted the annual revisions to the jobs report, which revised the total number of jobs created last year. Out of the roughly 1.7 million jobs allegedly created last year, a little over 911,000 jobs were revised downwards, which is the largest recorded revision on record.Analyst Comment: This jobs report means that 51% of all of the jobs reported last year...never existed. The books were cooked to doub

The editors open with an analysis of the killing of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska by a repeat violent offender, and discuss what it reveals about crime, media spin, and a legacy media more fixated on “Republicans pouncing” than the literally pouncing criminal himself. Follow-up discussion ranges from Europe's disappearing crime stats to the Bureau of Labor Statistics's downward revision of nearly a million jobs during the Biden presidency, probing whether institutions still merit public trust and what a reality-based politics on immigration, safety, and the economy might look like. The editors also touch on an immigration sweep at a Georgia battery plant and the gap between GDP and lived experience before closing with fresh culture picks.Culture recommendations:* The Name of the Rose* Last Summer Boys* Alien: Earth* How to Be a Better Drinker: Cocktail Recipes and Boozy Etiquette This is a public episode.

Then, they run down the many ways the country is recognizing the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. And, they talk about today's inflation numbers released by The Bureau of Labor Statistics and next week's Federal Reserve meeting, when the Fed will vote on whether to raise short-term interest rates and if so, by how much.

The Paychex Small Business Employment Watch reports job numbers remain flat, while national hourly earnings stay below 3% growth for a 10th straight month. Gene Marks points to a continued slow down, citing the paltry 22,000 jobs reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and a national unemployment rate at 4.3%. However, Gene says this creates opportunity for small businesses to snap up top talent. Also, a survey notes that more than one-quarter of participating employees are seeking financial resources from employers, a perfect time for employers to offer added value. And can entrepreneurship be taught? Gene has some thoughts on to what degree this is possible.

The gang discusses the recent adjustment to job numbers in the US, which saw nearly 1,000,000 fewer jobs than previously thought over the waning days of the Biden administration and the earliest days of Trump's second time in office.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports that there will be more scrutiny of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The microwave first emerged in the 1950s and has since become a common fixture in kitchens worldwide. 2018 data from Statista showed that 93% of UK household now own a microwave, with that figure also being over 90% in the United States according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.  Love it or hate it; you can't deny that it's hard to beat the microwave for convenience when it comes to quickly reheating food.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics says the U.S. job market is much weaker than initially reported. More than 900,000 fewer jobs were added in 2024 and 2025 than previously reported. The BLS issues revisions every year, but this change is the biggest on record and comes after President Trump fired the BLS commissioner after a weak monthly jobs report.

Nathan Peterson with Charles Schwab is surprised to see markets higher after the Bureau of Labor Statistics revised U.S. jobs 911,000 lower from April 2024 to March 2025. He makes the case that A.I. remains the leading driver behind the bull market. When it comes to Wednesday's PPI print, Nathan expects markets to hold a "glass half full mentality" as long as earnings continue to come in strong. He adds that April's sharp sell-off added leverage against seasonal volatility in September.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

I'm joined by Erica Groshen, former Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics to talk about the latest jobs report and what the numbers really mean for the state of the economy, including why revisions are an essential part of getting the data right. Dr. Groshen explains how the BLS produces its trusted statistics, the commissioner's role, and what signals she watches for to spot potential recessions. We also discuss the importance of protecting federal statistical agencies, ensuring trust in their data, and what the future might hold for the BLS. It's a fascinating conversation that connects technical detail with big-picture implications.Keywords: data, data visualization, fPolicyViz Podcast, Erica Groshen, Bureau of Labor Statistics, BLS, jobs report, labor market, economic data, employment situation, job growth, job losses, unemployment rate, data revisions, economic indicators, recession signals, federal statistics, data trust, labor economicsSubscribe to the PolicyViz Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.Become a patron of the PolicyViz Podcast for as little as a buck a monthCheck out the BLS website for more data!Follow me on Instagram, LinkedIn, Substack, Twitter, Website, YouTubeEmail: jon@policyviz.com

Kennedy Jr.'s handling of vaccines and management of the CDC, we talk to Republican Senator Roger Marshall and the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence committee, Mark Warner, joins us to weigh in on the news of the week.

September 5, 2025; 6pm: A brutal new jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows hiring nearly stalling out, with only 22,000 jobs added in August. Plus, Trump is facing a string of legal defeats, including rulings on his sweeping tariffs, the deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles and his use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan immigrants. MSNBC's Ari Melber breaks it all down with Maya Wiley and Jelani Cobb.

The Washington Roundtable, hosted by the staff writers Susan B. Glasser, Jane Mayer, and Evan Osnos, is back in season. The co-hosts reflect on the news of this summer, discussing President Trump's imposition of tariffs on nearly every major U.S. trading partner; his deployment of the National Guard on the streets of the capital; and his purges of agencies including the Department of Justice, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They also discuss what Trump might use emergency powers to do in the near future. “You don't acquire all this power, and go to all this effort, and then not start to use it,” Glasser says.This week's reading: “How Many Court Cases Can Trump Lose in a Single Week?,” by Susan B.

The August jobs report shows the U.S. economy added just 22,000 jobs, far below expectations, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.3%, the highest since 2017 outside the pandemic.  In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, including which industries are adding jobs, where losses are showing up, and why long-term unemployment is on the rise. You'll also hear how markets reacted, with Treasury yields dropping, mortgage rates hitting new yearly lows, and investors betting on a Federal Reserve rate cut in September.
