Podcasts about Unemployment

As the mainstream media and deep state (same thing) throw every bit of shade they can at President Trump and his administration, the economic data doesn't lie. And it's good. REALLY good. Childhood poverty is at its lowest level. Hispanic poverty.. lowest level. Wages are up. Unemployment is down. Will Cain with the Trump vs Biden side-by-side record on inflation. James Talarico's weirdo church thing just got weirder. Listen to one of his ministers admit on undercover audio what his crazy congregation actually believes in. Bless their hearts.  

What happens when the people building the world's most powerful AI systems start warning that they may not know how to control what comes next?At the same time those warnings are getting louder, the AI race is doing anything but slowing down. New autonomous agents are launching across major platforms, companies are pouring staggering amounts of money into compute, and AI is moving from answering questions to taking actions on our behalf.For business leaders, the takeaway isn't to panic—or to sit on the sidelines. It's to understand how quickly the landscape is shifting, where the real opportunities are emerging, and why governance, security, and responsible adoption need to evolve just as quickly as the technology.In this episode of Leveraging AI, Isar Meitis connects the dots between three major developments shaping the next phase of AI.In this session, you'll discover:Why the resignation of Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon ignited a massive debate about superintelligence and AI alignment.What current Anthropic researchers are saying about the possibility of controlling recursively self-improving AI.Why competition between AI labs may be making meaningful coordination and slowing down increasingly difficult.What OpenAI's own leadership is saying about alignment, monitoring, and potentially pacing future AI development.How AI is rapidly moving beyond chatbots and into autonomous agents that can perform real-world tasks.Why new agentic products from Meta, OpenAI, Alibaba, Instacart, Microsoft, and others matter for businesses.How agents could reshape everything from personal assistance and software development to shopping and digital workforces.Why security, governance, and control remain the biggest gaps as autonomous AI becomes more capable.How enormous investments in chips, data centers, and compute reveal just how much further the AI industry expects this expansion to go.What the accelerating demand for AI infrastructure means for the scale of the transformation still ahead.About Leveraging AIMulti-Agent Orchestration Course: https://multiplai.ai/multi-agent-orchestration-course/YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/eventsIf you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!

Canada's housing market is becoming more affordable, but just as buyers are getting some relief, a new set of risks is emerging.The latest RBC affordability data shows condo affordability nationally has improved all the way back to late-2019 levels, reversing much of the deterioration that followed the pandemic. Toronto and Victoria are now even more affordable than they were in 2019, while Vancouver is only a few percentage points away.Renters are also gaining ground. Average Canadian rents have fallen 4.8% year-over-year to $2,035, marking the 23rd consecutive month of annual declines. Vancouver rents are down 2.4% to $2,729, while record levels of purpose-built rental construction continue adding competition for tenants.But affordability is only one side of the equation.Canada unexpectedly lost 41,700 jobs in August, compared with expectations for a 15,000 gain. Unemployment remained at 6.4%, but wage growth slowed to just 2%, its weakest pace since 2017. The question now is whether this was simply one weak month or the beginning of tariffs and slowing growth showing up in employment.Meanwhile, mortgage borrowers face a very different problem.Canada's five-year government bond yield reached 3.63%, a 27-month high, as bond yields surge globally amid inflation concerns, enormous government borrowing and geopolitical instability. Because five-year Canadian bond yields heavily influence fixed mortgage pricing, mortgage rates can rise even while the Bank of Canada keeps its overnight rate unchanged.Markets are also increasingly contemplating Bank of Canada rate hikes. At the time of recording, market pricing implied a 42% probability of an October hike and 78% by December, with additional increases being priced into 2027. Those probabilities can change rapidly, but the dramatic shift illustrates how quickly the interest-rate narrative has reversed.Development is providing equally dramatic examples of the market reset.CURV, the proposed 60-storey luxury Vancouver tower once marketed as the world's tallest Passive House and famous for offering a Porsche promotion, entered receivership after selling only 41 units. Presale contracts have now been terminated, and the 1075 Nelson Street development site is back on the market. The land had reportedly been appraised between $169 million and $183 million in 2024, illustrating just how dramatically development economics have changed.And even completed projects aren't immune to problems. Owners at Coquitlam's 567 Clarke + Como have filed a lawsuit alleging defects involving waterproofing, windows, HVAC, concrete, balconies and elevators. None of the allegations have been proven in court, and the developer disputes the claim, but the case provides an important reminder for condo buyers: new does not automatically mean risk-free.Finally, Vancouver's fall market is beginning under a cloud of uncertainty. Only 447 homes sold during the first nine days of September, compared with 539 during the same period last year, a roughly 20% decline. It's far too early to call the month, but the initial numbers point toward an unusually slow start.The contradiction is becoming impossible to ignore: housing and rents are becoming more affordable, but employment is weakening and borrowing costs threaten to rise again.For Vancouver real estate, the next phase may be determined by which of those forces wins._________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

More Americans now believe unemployment will rise than at any point since April 2020. Not inflation. Unemployment. And that's according to, yes, the Federal Reserve. At the same time, consumers believe that if they lose a job, finding another one quickly will be nearly impossible. That fear is already showing up in what households are already doing - and how rates are really being priced. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis---------------------------------------------------------------Want to understand what this data (and so much more) means for your portfolio?

In this economy it is boom times and doom times all at once. The statistics aren't really capturing it. K-shaped only goes so far as a metaphor. So … we asked you to help. And you delivered! One one hand, the stock market is on a prolonged, upward trajectory. Unemployment is low and inflation has come down from its peak. But on the other hand, inflation is frustratingly sticky and higher than we want, job turnover is extremely low making looking for work an endless grind, and more than 75% of Americans say they're stressed about money. So we asked you – our listeners – how is the economy working for you? We got a range of responses. Some people are going to great lengths to save money and make ends meet, others are thriving and feel kind of guilty about their good fortune. We also heard from a new generation being shaped by this economic moment into hyper cost-conscious shoppers. You might call them the inflation generation. Each story helps us understand what's actually going on in the economy and what the stats aren't capturing. Read: Our book: Planet Money: A Guide to the Economic Forces That Shape Your Life Our Game: Sell Me A Sasquatch about the hilarious chaos of monstrous dealmaking.Our weekly longform Planet Money newsletterOur weekly Indicator round-up newsletterFollow: InstagramTikTokYouTubeFacebookSupport public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.

FED HIKE ODDS RISE - Warsh said the Fed still has “work to do” if officials are not confident inflation is returning to 2%. - Fed Governor Christopher Waller has left open the possibility of holding rates steady if inflation cools. - The September decision is increasingly being dictated by incoming inflation data and oil. -  It is kinda funny.... The “data-dependent Fed” is now apparently oil-dependent, jobs-dependent and whatever-CPI-says-next-week-dependent. OIL KEEPS PRESSURE ON INFLATION - Renewed U.S.-Iran tensions have pushed oil higher and revived fears about supply through the Strait of Hormuz. - The Strait remains one of the most important chokepoints for global energy flows. - Oil is working directly against central banks trying to bring inflation back toward target. -  Basically, central banks can raise rates all they want yet it is too bad that the the Strait of Hormuz does not attend FOMC meetings. SCHWAB VOLATILITY TRADE - Barron's argues low market volatility may not last as fall seasonality and macro risks build. - Schwab could benefit if volatility drives heavier customer trading activity. - The suggested trade used an October risk reversal built around $110 puts and $120 calls.

WEIRD ONE: SHEIN'S UPSIDE-DOWN IPO - Shein is looking to raise about $1.8 billion in its Hong Kong IPO while paying roughly $3.6 billion in cash and stock to early investors. - The payouts stem from investor protections triggered after Shein's valuation collapsed from about $98 billion in 2022 to roughly $26.8 billion. - Some of the same early investors receiving compensation are coming back as cornerstone buyers in the IPO. - Essentially: raise $1.8 billion from new investors while sending twice that amount back to older ones. GOOD GOOD GOES BAD - Good Good Golf's controversial Callaway ad showed co-founder Garrett Clark shoving a female creator in a movie spoof, triggering immediate backlash. - Callaway ended its partnership, Dick's and Golf Galaxy pulled Good Good merchandise, and Golf Channel canceled the current "Big Break x Good Good" season. - Good Good also stepped away as title sponsor of the PGA Tour's November event in Austin. - WOW - the company had more than 2 million YouTube followers and become one of golf's fastest-growing media and merchandise businesses before the blowup. ARGENTINA BEEF PRICE FIX - Trump expanded lower-tariff beef imports by 300,000 metric tons in an effort to bring down record-high U.S. beef prices. - The U.S. cattle herd is at its lowest level in 75 years, while USDA expects beef production to fall roughly 4% this year. - Argentina is one source of additional supply, but U.S. ranchers argue cheaper imports could undercut domestic producers just as they are trying to rebuild herds. - Trump says imported beef could help lower prices; farm-state lawmakers and ranch groups say the short-term consumer fix could make the long-term supply problem worse. EUROPE GETS GROWTH AND INFLATION - Euro-zone manufacturing is expanding at its fastest pace in more than four years as headline inflation moves back above 3%. - Stronger factories give the ECB more room to tighten without immediately crushing economic activity. - Much of the new inflation pressure is energy-driven, which higher ECB rates cannot directly fix. - Europe finally gets better manufacturing numbers, so naturally the reward is another rate hike. CHINA'S TWO-SPEED ECONOMY - The private manufacturing PMI showed expansion while the official factory reading remained in contraction. - Export orders strengthened, but services and domestic demand remain weak. - The divergence shows the improvement remains concentrated in exporters. - Alternative Facts: Depending on which PMI you prefer, China's factory sector is either expanding or contracting. Two economies for the price of one. THE $50 BILLION DATA-CENTER IPO - SB Energy is reportedly seeking a valuation above $50 billion despite having no operational data centers. - It reported about $139 million of first-half revenue against a $3.21 billion net loss. - The company claims roughly $439 billion of project backlog. - OpenAI is an investor, warrant holder and major future customer; Nvidia is also providing capital while supplying the chips. - Soooooo......

The latest U.S. jobs numbers are out—and apparently the labor market didn't get the memo that it was supposed to be slowing down! The U.S. economy added 162,000 jobs in August, well above expectations, while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%. Even better, June and July payrolls were revised higher by a combined 55,000 jobs. So...good news, right? Well, this is Wall Street, where good economic news can quickly become bad news for the markets.

In a scathing critique, the speaker takes aim at the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, highlighting a staggering case of mismanagement and incompetence. The department's inability to accurately track and distribute unemployment benefits has left thousands of people waiting for their rightful checks, with some facing financial ruin.This episode delves into the shocking story of a woman who paid into the unemployment insurance fund, only to be left waiting for her benefits due to a bureaucratic nightmare. The speaker reveals the department's staggering errors, including a discrepancy of over $1.5 billion in owed claims, which was later corrected to a mere $86 million. The auditors' report also uncovered a pattern of understating bad debt, revenue, and expenses, with a total adjustment of $10.6 billion needed to fix the department's books.The speaker questions the department's excuses, pointing out that the pandemic may have caused difficulties, but it's no excuse for the repeated failures to correct their mistakes. The department's inability to get the job done is not just a one-time issue, but a systemic problem that has been ongoing for years. The speaker highlights the contrast between the department's performance and other states, which have managed to distribute benefits efficiently despite similar challenges.The speaker argues that the real issue is not just about accounting errors, but about remembering who the money is for – the people who need it. The episode is a call to action, urging listeners to demand accountability from their government and to remember that the money is for the people, not just a number in a report.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Economic headlines can make investors feel like they need to react immediately. A consumer sentiment index "crashes." Unemployment claims "spike." The market reacts. But what do these economic indicators actually mean for your portfolio? In this episode of PIVOT with Darryl Lyons, Darryl explains how to interpret economic indicators without letting dramatic headlines drive emotional investment decisions. Using the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Survey as an example, he walks through how investors can follow the "breadcrumbs" from an economic reading to the broader economy and ultimately to the markets. Darryl also uses the story of Hansel and Gretel and the concept of the Five Whys to explain why individual economic indicators should be viewed in context rather than in isolation. Some indicators may provide meaningful insight into the economy, while others may be little more than temporary noise. Most importantly, Darryl explains why investors should learn to "get in front of their future selves" by preparing for market ups and downs before emotions take over. You'll learn: ●      How economic indicators influence investment markets ●      Why financial headlines often create unnecessary fear ●      How to interpret the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Survey ●      What the Five Whys can teach investors about economic data ●      Why one economic indicator rarely tells the whole story ●      How to distinguish meaningful signals from market noise ●      Why taking a long term perspective can help investors avoid emotional decisions Whether you're a longtime investor or simply trying to better understand the economic headlines you see every day, this episode offers a framework for putting economic data into perspective and making more informed financial decisions.

In the headlines today, Thailand's unemployment rises as inflation continues to impact pay, then, the Chao Phraya river is set to rise as seven provinces are told to prepare, also, a Chinese tourist jumps from a moving car in order to escape an alleged abduction in Bangkok, over in Pattaya, a paring argument turns violent as a Russian man confronts and Indian national, and a little later the tourism authority of Thailand is looking to turn famous film sets into new tourism routes.

New political disclosure complaints are escalating Washington's battle over ballot initiatives and campaign activity. Radio host Ari Hoffman, acting as a private citizen, has filed a Public Disclosure Commission complaint involving the Seattle Times and several organizations, alleging that coverage surrounding the 2024 campaign over Initiative 2117 and the Climate Commitment Act amounted to undisclosed political activity. The organizations named in the complaint had not responded to The Center Square's requests for comment by the time the episode was recorded. Meanwhile, Arthur West has filed a separate PDC complaint targeting Washingtonians for Ethical Government, alleging the organization should have registered as a political committee. That organization was behind the earlier complaint involving Let's Go Washington and podcaster Brandi Kruse. Also today, questions are being raised about workplace conditions at Seattle's Plymouth Housing, with state and federal workplace-safety officials being asked to investigate potential employee exposure to drug-related hazards. Finally, Washington received some positive economic news: the state's unemployment rate declined from 5.2% to 5.0%, with 21,100 seasonally adjusted jobs added in July. But questions remain about whether some recent hiring connected to Seattle's World Cup activity will prove temporary.

In 2025, more than 300,000 Black women reportedly left or were let go from their jobs within the first few months of President Donald Trump’s return to the White House. Many of those jobs were cut as the Trump Administration downsized the federal workforce. Now, a year after Closer Look’s special programming on this topic, we revisit the issue again with an update on Black unemployment numbers, which remain higher than all other racial groups. This, despite President Trump falsely claiming Black unemployment is at an “historic low.” We also discuss solutions and resources to help Black Americans who are trying to find their next employment opportunity. Guests Include: Dr. David McMillon, assistant professor and economist with Emory University Nancy Flake Johnson, CEO & president of the Urban League of Greater Atlanta John Moye, senior director of legislative policy, social justice and civic engagement with the Urban League of Greater Atlanta Milton Jones, Jr., chairman of the board for 100 Black Men of America Sherry Sims, career and leadership strategist and founder of Black Career Women’s NetworkSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gene Marks shares insights from White House advisor Kevin Hassett regarding the validity of government economic data, with Hassett favoring durable goods orders and unemployment claims over revised surveys. Marks reports a generally positive outlook for small businesses, citing an uptick in optimism and a four-year high in manufacturing activity driven by the AI and data center explosion. He notes that while tariffs and $4 gasoline remain concerns, many businesses are absorbing costs without significant impact on sales. Marks characterizes the United States as an "entrepreneur's paradise" because of the ease of starting a business and the high availability of capital. He highlights that nearly half a million new business applications are filed monthly, supported by record levels of private debt and venture capital. Marks concludes that despite various uncertainties, the small business sector remains resilient and is continuing to hire. (2)

P.M. Edition for Aug. 14. Money managers have a problem: Clients are holding near-record amounts in cash—by one estimate more than $3 trillion. Miriam Gottfried, a reporter and co-host of WSJ's Take On the Week podcast, explains why this is happening and what financial planners are pushing their clients to do instead. Plus, two pieces of data—July retail sales and the preliminary August reading of the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey—came in lower than expected. WSJ economics reporter Matt Grossman says that is painting a picture of a weaker U.S. economy. And AI slop is everywhere, making it hard to know what's real online. We hear from WSJ personal tech columnist Nicole Nguyen about the inspiration for her recent special Tech News Briefing podcast series, “AI and the Blurring of Reality.” Alex Ossola hosts.

Liz Ann Sonders and Collin Martin begin this episode by analyzing the powerful role earnings are playing in driving the U.S. stock market higher and what that means for investors. Liz Ann highlights that S&P 500 earnings growth is tracking around 51% for the second quarter, an unusually strong pace outside of a post-recession recovery. Collin explains why Schwab expects a "higher-for-longer" rate environment, with short- and longer-term Treasury yields likely remaining elevated as the economy stays resilient and inflation remains above the Fed's target. Then Collin sits down with former Federal Reserve Vice Chair Dr. Richard Clarida. They discuss how the Fed thinks about inflation, labor markets, supply shocks, productivity, and AI. Clarida argues that policymakers are trying to determine whether today's inflation pressures are temporary or indicative of a higher underlying trend. He also discusses the transition to new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, potential changes to Fed communications, and why AI could be inflationary in the near term but ultimately disinflationary through improved productivity over the next several years.

Bull markets don't last forever. The problem is... nobody rings a bell at the top. With the major indexes pushing near record territory, optimism remains high and investors continue pouring money into stocks. But a great viewer question got me thinking: What could actually cause this bull market to end? There isn't one simple answer. In today's episode, we'll break down the biggest threats facing the market and identify the warning signs traders and investors should be watching before sentiment changes. We'll discuss: Inflation – Could another acceleration in prices force the Federal Reserve to become more aggressive? Interest rates – At what point do higher rates become too much for stocks to handle? Bond yields – Could rising Treasury yields finally pull money away from equities? Unemployment – How much deterioration in the labor market would signal genuine economic trouble? Corporate earnings – Ultimately, stock prices need profits. What happens if earnings growth begins to stall? Valuations – How expensive is too expensive, especially in AI and technology? Geopolitics – Could an unexpected global event become the catalyst that finally changes investor sentiment? Market psychology – When everyone becomes bullish, complacency itself can become a risk. The key is understanding that none of these indicators exists in isolation. Inflation impacts interest rates. Interest rates impact bond yields. Higher borrowing costs impact businesses and consumers. Economic weakness impacts employment. And eventually, all of it flows through to corporate earnings. That's why calling the end of a bull market based on one indicator can be a huge mistake. Bull markets rarely die because of one headline. They end when the underlying conditions supporting higher prices begin to change. So what are those conditions telling us right now? That's what we'll break down on today's show. Listen now:

8.7.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered:Trump White House Targets Lisa Cook Again. 23,000 Jobs Lost. Black Unemployment Gap Persists The White House is renewing its efforts to remove Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors. The job market numbers for July have been released, showing a loss of 23,000 jobs, which could indicate a slowdown ahead. Black unemployment rates continue to reflect a persistent gap compared to other racial groups. Economist Morgan Harper will join us to break down the numbers. A newly released report highlights the lack of high-quality math education for Black children. We'll speak with the author of "Calculated Barriers: Examining the History Behind Math Inequities Facing Black Students" to discuss how historical policies and structural practices hinder math literacy, college access, and opportunities in tech fields.

There was nothing redeeming in the July jobs report, and the podcast crew covered all the pain points: weak job gains, downward revisions, fewer hours worked, slowing wage growth, and a worrisome drop in labor force participation. Fittingly, we had to battle through our own painful series of technical problems while recording - curious whether you'll notice.

With Liz Ann Sonders away, Collin Martin is joined by Schwab Head of Macro Research and Strategy Kevin Gordon for an in-depth conversation on the economy, Federal Reserve policy, bond yields, equities, and global markets. The episode opens with the idea that "good news can be bad news" for markets. Kevin explains that strong economic data, particularly in the labor market, can sometimes hurt stocks because it increases the likelihood of tighter monetary policy. The conversation then turns to interest rates and the surprising resilience of markets despite elevated bond yields. Collin and Kevin discuss the Fed's increasingly hawkish tone, the unusual presence of multiple dissents favoring rate hikes, and concerns about communication from Chair Kevin Warsh.  Looking ahead, Collin and Kevin identify inflation data, labor-market reports, Fed commentary, retail sales, and inflation-expectation surveys as the key indicators investors should monitor in the weeks ahead.
