The Inside Economics team laments the lack of a November jobs report but dives into the wealth of data released this week about the labor market, income, and consumer spending. The discussion then turns to affordability and whether it's a con job or whether households are feeling a real financial pinch. A listener question turns the conversation toward Federal Reserve independence and whether Jerome Powell's successor is likely to have outsize influence on interest rate decisions.Hosts: Mark Zandi – Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, Cris deRitis – Deputy Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, and Marisa DiNatale – Senior Director - Head of Global Forecasting, Moody's AnalyticsFollow Mark Zandi on 'X' and BlueSky @MarkZandi, Cris deRitis on LinkedIn, and Marisa DiNatale on LinkedIn Questions or Comments, please email us at helpeconomy@moodys.com.

Sub-Saharan Africa has a youth unemployment problem. The latest figures from the International Labour Organisation show more than one in five young people there are "NEET": Not in Employment, Education or Training. Structural issues like the lack of political stability in many countries and lagging infrastructure remain major barriers to high quality job creation. But the gig economy has been growing rapidly thanks to the proliferation of digital platforms. The The BBC's Wairimu Gitani reports.

In today's Wealth Coffee Chats, Alex breaks down the latest inflation numbers released for October—showing a sharp rise to 3.8%, along with a slight drop in unemployment. These two metrics form the backbone of the RBA's interest rate decisions, and together they paint a picture every investor and mortgage holder needs to pay attention to. Alex walks through the inflation components driving the spike—housing, electricity, and services—while exploring how these rising costs could shift the conversation away from anticipated rate cuts and potentially back toward rate increases in 2026. He also covers how these trends may affect property demand, equities, bonds, superannuation, everyday expenses, and your personal cash flow. This episode is your practical guide to preparing for what may be coming next as the economy heads into Christmas and into the new year. Episode Highlights: Inflation jumps to 3.8%, reversing the downward trend seen earlier in the year. Unemployment drops from 4.5% to 4.4%—a small shift with big implications. Why rising inflation may delay rate cuts and reopen the door to potential hikes. Breakdown of inflation components: housing (5.9%), electricity, services, and insurance stabilisation. How markets may respond: equities cooling, defensive assets like bonds and term deposits holding strong. What rising rates could mean for property investors amid ongoing supply shortages. Practical steps: stress-test your mortgage, plan for holiday spending, and prepare your finances for early 2026. Stay informed and stay prepared—this episode helps you understand the economic signals that could shape your investment decisions in the months ahead.

Let's talk about Trump, unemployment, reports, and a question....
It's Tuesday, November 25th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) Eritrea Persecutes Christians persecution.org reports now eight Christians who have languished in Eritrea prison cells for over 18 years. The charge — they were following Jesus Christ. Eritrean authorities routinely arrest and imprison Christians in horrific conditions under severe authoritarian rule. The nation recognizes only four religious groups within its borders: the Tewahedo Orthodox Church, the Roman Catholic Church, Evangelical Lutheran churches, and Sunni Islam. All other Christian denominations are unrecognized by the state. According to a 2025 report from the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), “as of May 2024, over 350 Christians were imprisoned [in Eritrea].” The report continued, stating that “police at times arrest entire Christian families, including children, during the early morning hours.” Brazilian Christian Homeschool Conference The Brazilian Christian Homeschool movement is exploding. 2,000 dads, moms, and children Joao Passeo participated over a 3 day conference — with messages on Biblical Worldview in science and history, Christian education, family discipleship, family economy, God-centered curriculum, and God's order for family, church and state. This was the fourth in the Generations and Worldview sponsored conferences in Brazil — one more way of serving 75,000 homeschoolers throughout the country. Expo organizer, Vinicius Reis had this to say about God's powerful working in the hearts of fathers and mothers throughout Brazil: VINICIUS: “We are here in the third day, the last day, of our Expo Homeschooling Brazil Conference. We have the mission with this event, to connect those who love and teach their children. And we achieve here, more than 2000 attendees, during these three days, and it was so special... and receiving encouragement to move it and keep moving forward, especially in our discipleship mission for our kids. So, thank you for supporting us and continue praying for us, because despite the challenge, despite the persecution, we will not stop to teach and to love our children. May God bless you and may God bless Brazil too, amen.” Psalm 78 has a message for all Christian parents: "For [the Lord] established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children; That the generation to come might know them, The children who would be born, That they may arise and declare them to their children, That they may set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God." Argentina Considering Recognization of Homeschooling And, Argentina is heading towards a complete rewrite of their education law — explicitly recognizing homeschooling and hybrid forms of distance education as legitimate alternatives. If the law passes, parents will be recognized as “the natural and primary agents” of education, and the state's role will be considered subsidiary. The nations' teachers unions have already expressed opposition to the legislation, entitled The Education Freedom Act. G-20 Annual in Johannesburg At least 13 presidents and prime ministers from leading nations showed up at the G-20 annual get together of the world's most powerful men in Johannesburg, South Africa over the weekend. Nothing substantial was accomplished, besides the issuance of vague statements on climate resilience, peace, stability, the need for debt relief, and global cooperation. The US and Argentina were conspicuously absent from a meeting that involved the UK, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Canada, and Australia. This was the United States's first absence since the creation of G-20 in 1999 under the Clinton Administration. According to recent numbers published in the US Government's FY2026 budget, the US contributions to international organizations and UN peacekeeping is dropping by 89% — from $2.45 billion to $264 million. Here is one clear message for G-20 and the world's leaders: "Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, And rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way." Psalm 2:10 College-Grad Employment Getting Worse College-grad employment is getting worse and worse. A recent Bloomberg story finds that the percentage of the college-educated making up the unemployment numbers in the US has increased from 12% in 2008 to 25% in 2025. Young degree-holders are running at a 9.2% unemployment rate. All that to say, the market for college-educate Marxist-activists has cooled quite a bit. 40% of US House of Representatives are Pro-Life Exactly 40% of the US House of Representatives are pro-life and willing to oppose the mail-order abortion pill. Only 174 members signed a letter urging the Trump Administration Department of Health and Human Services to ban the mail-order kill-pill, but still allowing for in-person dispensing of it. 44 Republicans members and the Democrat contingency did not sign the letter. Bitcoin Loses Value Cryptocurrency is still as volatile as ever. Bitcoin has lost 30% of its value in the last six weeks — that's the third swing exceeding 30% in just a year. Over the same year, gold took a steady 100% increase, without any significant downturns. Wicked Movie Sequel in the Box Office The movie sequel to Wicked received the largest box office opening since Barbie in 2023 — a worldwide record of $226 million. Wicked: For Good is based on a book meant to put both “good” and “bad” witchcraft in a good light. . . .Author, Gregory Maguire. was one of the first persons in America to stage a faux-homosexual marriage in the state of Massachusetts in 2004.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1203: Autonomy expands its EV subscription fleet with new brands, Foxconn doubles down on becoming a global EV battery powerhouse, and the U.S. labor market enters a “Great Freeze” that's keeping both hiring and firing on ice. Show Notes with links:EV subscription company Autonomy has secured $25 million to add more than 1,200 vehicles and broaden its lineup beyond Tesla.Autonomy operates a subscription-based model where customers choose an EV in the app, pay by credit card, and receive delivery through dealer partners.New funding brings in Polestar and Volvo models, plus updated Tesla Model 3 and Model Y variants.Recent model-year and off-lease CPO EVs are being added to offer more price points for subscribers.Dealer partners handle delivery—Galpin Motors will lead the Polestar rollout in L.A. using a Deloitte-built digital experience.“Our goal is to make getting a car as easy as streaming a movie… on the customer's terms,” said founder & CEO Scott Painter.Foxconn—the same company that builds your iPhone—is rapidly reinventing itself again, this time as a global battery supplier capable of powering future cars, buses, and data centers.A new $193M battery plant in Kaohsiung is ramping from 0.5 GWh to 1.2 GWh next year, supplying commercial vehicles now and passenger EVs in 2025.Foxconn says it can replicate its full, automated, 85% in-house battery supply chain anywhere in the world, creating local supply for OEM partners.Its EV lineup is expanding (Model C, B, D, E, A), and the company has its first U.S. customer for the Model C—awaiting North American certification.Partnerships are multiplying, including a new electric-bus venture with Mitsubishi Fuso using Foxconn-built battery packs.“We can duplicate this anywhere and scale up,” said Troy Wu, global battery strategy lead. “Customers are looking for one-stop shopping.”A chill has settled over the American labor landscape as companies avoid both layoffs and hiring, creating what economists are calling the “Great Freeze.” It's a market stuck in neutral—good for job security, not so great for career mobility.Layoffs remain low, but hiring has also slowed as companies cling to workers while avoiding expansion during economic uncertainty.Tariff questions, AI impact, supply constraints, and weak pockets like construction are all contributing to hesitancy in adding headcount.Companies are holding onto workers for stability, but a recession could break that trend. Unemployment is still low, yet job openings have fallen to 7.2 million.Career growth is stalling as workers struggle to move roles or negotiate raises in a low-turnover environment.“We're seeing employers and job seekers both trying to wait out any of tJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

After a historic shock, Australia's jobs market rebounded. But work has changed
After a long hiatus (no, not related to the government shutdown) we return with a look at the economy and markets. On the economic front, despite a lack of formal data, signs point to a weakening labor market. Consumers in the bottom 80% have spending post-Covid that has barely kept pace with inflation, with prices higher by around 25% since 2020. Unemployment has climbed to over 9% for those between 20 and 24 years of age. All these are signs of a K-shaped economic recovery, with a strong stock market supporting higher spending for those in the top 20% of incomes. The Fed faces a challenge with a weakening labor market but inflation near 3%; the odds of a December rate cut have fallen to 50%. In terms of the equity market, we have also seen a K-shape. While overall market performance has been narrow (only 158 out of 500 stocks in the S&P are outperforming YTD), it has been the Mag 7, which have seen strong earnings growth, and very speculative stocks, fueled by retail traders both in and outside the U.S. For the former, this growth comes with a caveat that their once strong free cash flows are being siphoned off (and bolstered by debt) to fuel the massive capital expenditure required to build out AI infrastructure. For the latter, a form of tribalism has united retail speculators, who are treating stocks much like sports wagering, which has also seen massive volume growth. It is important to note that despite stocks favored by retail investors performing well this year that, since 2021, the average Robinhood account is estimated to have declined in value while the S&P 500 is up substantially.

Remember, Over the last 14 years, I have done everything I can to help as many #jobseekers as possible via Power Point presentations, documents , speaking engagements and now LinkedIn presentations that LinkedIn promotes for me. I also, whenever possible, scroll down my feed and every time I see a person that is #opentowork, I drop an invite to my next #LinkedInLive event or if I am not having one my #YouTube page that has hundreds of videos and audio events. I know that I have helped thousands of people in some way to get out of the canyon called #Unemployment and back into the job world. I could've charged a lot of money to a lot of people over the years because my stuff works and it works fast if you are someone that goes and attacks challenges. I don't charge people a lot of money because they need their money to eat and pay their rent and provide for their family when they are unemployed because they don't know when that nightmare will end. That is why I don't make it a giant moneymaking endeavor. I do this from the heart because I never forget how bad it felt to be unemployed and how awful every day was until I knew what my next job was. That said, I cannot believe when someone is offered free help from someone who has been doing it for as long as I have that they would ignore my invite and not come to the event. All I will say is here is an invite to my next event and if you are a #jobseeker you should come because something I say will help you to get in next great opportunity. It's different for every person, but something will resonate. With all of the people being mistreated and ghosted and punched in the face on this platform by people who have no interest in helping, I offer all I can give you to help you get back on your feet.

Fintech bank SoFi (SOFI) rolled out crypto trading to retail customers on Tuesday. The move sets the pace as the first of several national banks planning similar moves in the coming months.

During an interview with the ‘Morning Report', Prime Minister Christopher Luxon confirmed that orders for the homeless in Auckland's CBD to move on were “definitely a consideration”. He later stated, that “Aucklanders don't feel safe going into the central city”, and both Central government and Auckland Council are considering how they can move homeless people out of the CBD ahead of summer. This follows previous reports that the Government was considering a rough sleeping ban for central Auckland. This news comes as Stats NZ released their annual unemployment figures this week. The results show that national unemployment has risen to a nine-year high at 5.3%, with the New Zealand youth taking most of the damage. For our weekly catchup with The Green Party, Wednesday Wire Max spoke to MP Ricardo Menendez March, to discuss the new unemployment figures released last week. They also spoke about the Government's new action plan to combat methamphetamine use. But first, they discussed what The Green Party thought about the Government's plan to decrease homelessness in the Auckland CBD

The University of Michigan's November consumer sentiment survey, and October private sector job cuts tracked by outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, have raised concerns the US economy may be entering a recession. But data from ADP, state-level initial jobless claims, and the Chicago Fed's unemployment estimate, all paint a picture of a healthy economy. A closer look at the Challenger data, however, suggests the reason for job cuts is Artificial Intelligence. While AI might be able to displace humans in technology companies, it is unlikely to replace workers in many other sectors anytime soon. Still, it is clear labour is a primary worry in the market.

Senator Lana Theis, representing Michigan's 22nd Senate District, joins Steve to discuss her newly introduced legislation designed to protect Michigan residents from unfair unemployment clawbacks. During the pandemic, thousands of hardworking Michiganders were told they were eligible for unemployment benefits, only to be hit with demands to repay those funds years later due to government errors. Senator Theis's bill aims to stop the state from punishing citizens for bureaucratic mistakes and ensure that those who acted in good faith aren't left financially devastated. She explains how her proposal restores fairness, accountability, and confidence in the state's unemployment system, while providing relief to families still struggling to recover from the economic fallout of recent years.
When the US Federal Reserve reduced its interest rate by a quarter percentage point last week, establishing the target range at 3.75-4 percent, it was not a bold stimulus but rather a cautious act of navigation. A prolonged government shutdown has left the Fed operating with limited information on inflation and jobs. For India, this development influences the global cost of capital, investor behaviour, and the overall pace of trade. The rate cut was determined under extraordinary conditions. US GDP grew at an annualised rate of 3.8 percent in the second quarter, but more recent indicators suggest a cooling trend. Unemployment has risen to 4.3 percent, job creation has decelerated, and consumer spending is stabilising. Although inflation has decreased to approximately 3 percent year-on-year, it still exceeds the Federal Reserve's 2 per cent target. Typically, policymakers would review fresh September data before making decisions, but since those reports never came, the Federal Reserve had to rely on August data.

PREVIEW: AI and Employment: The Unemployment Question Guest: Liz Peek Liz Peek notes the slow start to the national conversation about AI-driven unemployment despite the technology's accelerating impact. She questions the political reaction if mass layoffs begin across sectors. AI is already delivering massive productivity gains for large S&P 500 companies, causing their stocks to rise sharply. However, small businesses, represented by the Russell 2000 index, are currently being left behind. This divergence raises concerns about widening economic inequality and the need for proactive policy discussions about workforce transition and retraining in an AI-dominated economy.

8. The Tishreen Uprising and Call for Accountability By 2019, kleptocratic party bosses and militia commanders siphoned $20 billion annually, causing unemployment despite oil wealth, with youth seeing corruption as biggest threat. Tishreen Uprising was rare trans-sectarian moment protesting elite corruption, including poor Shia denouncing Shia clergy, with women playing major roles. Though brutally suppressed with hundreds dead, "spirit of Tishreen" remains, but fundamental problem after 20 years is lack of accountability for those who perpetrated war and invasion. Retry
