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.

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.

The uncertain economic environment could be the reason for climbing unemployment and declining job ads. The latest Seek data shows job ads fell 0.8 percent last month, the third consecutive month of decline. It suggests conditions remain strongest in the South Island, while centres like Auckland, Wellington, and Waikato face greater headwinds. Westpac Chief Economist Kelly Eckhold says the labour market has not emerged unscathed from the Iran war. "Perhaps at the start of the year, they were looking forward to a much better year, but business confidence really got buffeted around the last three or four months."

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:

Mortgage rates are reacting to a soft jobs report, oil prices holding under $80, and a Federal Reserve meeting just 37 days away. I break down CPI, PPI, unemployment at 4.2%, and what all of it means for your rate this week.Here's what's driving the mortgage rate market today:The June jobs report just showed 20,000 jobs lost while unemployment somehow held at 4.2%, and I explain why the market is reading that as a crack in the labor market. This week we get two inflation reports that matter a lot more than usual. Wednesday brings CPI, both core and headline, with core inflation expected to tick up to 0.2% after coming in flat last month. Thursday brings PPI, the producer side, expected to rise to 0.2% after a negative 0.3% reading last time. I also walk through why oil is the number to watch right now. As long as oil stays under $80 a barrel we're in a manageable range, but if it pushes toward $90 to $100 a barrel that is when inflation spikes and mortgage rates jump with it. On top of all of that, I cover the Iran conflict overhang, the Dow Jones move from 50,000 to 54,000 since the war started, and why the Fed is now sitting at a 54% chance of holding the federal funds rate steady at 3.5% to 3.75% at their next meeting in 37 days instead of cutting or hiking.Get the full breakdown and more market analysis on the blog: https://www.therateupdate.com/blogCHAPTERS (estimated, please verify against final edit) 0:00 Jobs report reaction and today's rate chart 1:35 What the Fed is watching: unemployment at 4.2% and GDP 2:35 This week's CPI and PPI reports explained 4:20 Why oil under $80 is the number that matters 5:35 Fed meeting in 37 days and today's rate forecast

Washington's income tax repeal initiative is now headed toward the Washington Supreme Court after a Thurston County judge upheld the ballot's Public Investment Impact Disclosure (PIID). Supporters of Initiative 645 argue the ballot language is politically biased and factually inaccurate as the appeal moves forward. Also in today's episode, Let's Go Washington officially launches its statewide campaign supporting three November ballot initiatives: repealing the new income tax, restoring parental rights in schools, and protecting girls' sports. Finally, new data shows Washington has already paid more than $565,000 in unemployment benefits to striking workers under the state's new law, with concerns growing over the long-term impact on the unemployment insurance fund.

Send us a question/idea/opinion direct via text message!New Zealand's unemployment rate rose to 5.6% in Q2 2026 - the highest level in over a decade. However, beneath the headline number lies an encouraging trend for the residential property market: total employment actually expanded, meaning the unemployment jump was driven by an expanding labour force rather than mass job destruction.This week on the New Zealand Property Market Podcast, Head of Research Nick Goodall and Chief Economist Kelvin Davidson unpack the latest Q2 labour market data. They examine why insulated homeowner employment is keeping non-performing loans and mortgagee sales at near-record lows, alongside a striking North-South Island economic divide where North Island unemployment sits at 6.0% compared to just 3.7% in the South Island. The guys also break down Kelvin's latest analysis of Reserve Bank mortgage lending data. They cover why 50% to 60% of first-home buyers continue to secure low-deposit finance, the ongoing borrower shift toward two-year fixed mortgage terms, and why interest-only lending remains strictly controlled despite broader economic headwinds. This week we discuss:Q2 Labour Market Breakdown: Why 5.6% unemployment is driven by growing labour supply rather than job destruction. Housing Market Immunity: How steady employment among existing homeowners prevents non-performing loans and forced sales. Regional Labour Disparities: The North Island (6.0%) versus South Island (3.7%) unemployment divide, led by Northland (8.8%) and Auckland (6.5%). Reserve Bank Lending Trends: Key takeaways from mortgage data, including active refinancing and low interest-only volumes. Mortgage Term Shifts: Why borrowers are increasingly locking in two-year fixed rates as interest rate insurance. September 2nd OCR Runway: How subdued wage growth (2.0%) impacts Reserve Bank inflation expectations ahead of the upcoming OCR statement. 

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. Tennessee voters have made their voices heard. We'll break down the candidates who will be on the ballot in November.

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.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports on the latest job numbers.

Figures released by the central statistics office show the employment rose in July and now stands at just over 5%. For the details, Chief Economist with Deloitte, Kate English.

The Salvation Army is seeing greater numbers of young people turn to them for help - as today's unemployment figures show nearly 96,000 aren't in jobs, education or training. The NEET rate for 15 to 24 year olds is now at 13.8 percent. Unemployment has risen to an 11 year high of 5.6 percent. Salvation Army Principal Policy Analyst, Paul Barber spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

An economist says political parties should look to give the Commerce Commission more firepower in an effort to boost competition and wages. It comes as unemployment hits an 11-year high, and an IPSOS poll shows National is no longer the party most trusted to manage the economy. Political reporter Russell Palmer reports.

The unemployment rate has risen to 5.6 percent, the highest it's been since September 2015. Despite decades of experience in human resources, and despite a desperation to work, Sheryl has struggled to even get a response to many of her applications. She spoke to John Campbell.

While the overall unemployment rate was at its highest in 11 years, for those aged between 20 and 24,the number was even higher. Independent journalist, economics commentator, and editor of The Kaka, Bernard Hickey spoke to John Campbell.

RNZ's economics correspondent Gyles Beckford.

The government is keeping fuel relief measures in place, predicting more volatility as the conflict drags on. Finance Minister Nicola Willis also indicated the unemployment numbers to be released tomorrow, will likely show an increase in joblessness.

Rick Sharga, founder of CJ Patrick Company, discusses current housing market conditions and economic trends. Rick explains that despite mortgage rates tripling since the pandemic, the housing market has shown resilience with 49 consecutive months of year-over-year price increases, though sales volume remains down for three years. He noted that while affordability remains a challenge with a $40,000 wage gap for median-income buyers, recent data shows pending sales and mortgage purchase applications running ahead of last year, suggesting pent-up demand may soon drive market recovery. Rick highlighted that inflation concerns stem largely from energy price increases following the Iran conflict, and emphasized that wage growth continues to outpace home price growth, making affordability slightly better. He also discussed how builders currently face a 10-month supply of new homes while existing home inventory remains tight, creating opportunities for investors in both markets.

Ted Dintersmith, legendary venture capitalist and education advocate, joins Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different again to talk about his new book “After Math: The Life-Changing Math That Schools Won’t Teach You.” With decades of experience at Charles River Ventures and years spent championing education reform, Ted Dintersmith brings a refreshing and urgent perspective on why the math being taught in schools is almost entirely disconnected from real life. This conversation will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about numbers, data, and the way we educate the next generation. Ted Dintersmith argues that students spend roughly 2,000 hours studying math in high school, yet almost none of it prepares them for the decisions they will make as adults. Instead of learning how to evaluate risk, understand compound interest, or spot statistical manipulation, students are drilled in abstract formulas that computers now handle instantly. The result is a generation of adults who cannot identify when data is being used to mislead them, and that has real consequences in their financial lives, their health decisions, and even their political views. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Ted Dintersmith on the Math That Actually Matters in Real Life Ted Dintersmith structured his book around eight chapters covering topics like optimization, probability, game theory, prediction, and algorithms. These are the ideas that drive artificial intelligence, shape financial markets, and determine outcomes in everything from sports to public policy. Yet none of them appear in a standard high school math curriculum. He describes these as the concepts that can quite literally be life and death for everyday people who encounter them without any framework for understanding what they mean. What makes Ted Dintersmith’s approach so compelling is that he strips away the intimidating symbols and formulas. He wants readers to understand the ideas behind the math, not memorize equations. In an age where AI can do the calculations for you, knowing what questions to ask and how to interpret the answers is far more valuable than knowing how to solve a quadratic equation by hand.   Ted Dintersmith on how Bad Math Literacy Leaves People Vulnerable One of the most powerful themes running through the conversation is how a lack of math literacy makes people easy targets for manipulation. Ted Dintersmith points to gambling platforms like DraftKings and FanDuel, which bombard young adults with advertising designed by people who understand probability extremely well. He highlights a teacher in Colorado who taught his students the actual math behind sports betting, revealing that the probability of coming out ahead after 50 bets is roughly one in ten million. That kind of knowledge is genuinely protective. Ted Dintersmith also draws attention to how statistics reported in the news are often presented without any context about how they were defined or measured. Unemployment figures, crime rates, and economic data all carry hidden assumptions that change their meaning entirely depending on how you look at them. Without the tools to ask the right questions, most people simply accept the numbers they are given and draw exactly the conclusions the presenter intended.   Why Schools Must Change and What Is Already Happening Ted Dintersmith is not just diagnosing a problem. He is actively working on solutions, including a short documentary film featuring a math teacher in Colorado who abandoned the traditional curriculum entirely and replaced it with data science concepts relevant to his students’ actual lives. The results speak for themselves. Students who once checked out during math class are now engaged because they can see how the concepts connect to money, risk, and the world around them. When you understand how compound interest works, how to evaluate a statistic, or how gambling platforms are engineered to extract money from people who do not understand the odds, you gain a form of power that changes your life. Ted Dintersmith believes every student deserves access to that power, and his book is a bold step toward making it possible.

Liz Peek. Liz Peek discusses how gasoline prices serve as a talisman for the American cost of living. While metrics like low unemployment and rising real wages suggest a strong economy, high pump prices and poor Republican messaging negatively impact consumer sentiment and presidential approval ratings ahead of the midterm elections.

Thomas Savidge proposes "Universal Savings Accounts" (USA) to replace complex government-managed savings vehicles. These accounts would grant individuals full ownership of their funds for unemployment or retirement. This reform aims to reduce fraud and address the long-term fiscal instability associated with the national "debt bomb." (16)1933 PERSIA
