Revised economic numbers inject uncertainty into jobs market

Season 2026 Episode 34 | 5m 33s

The U.S. economy opened 2026 on better footing, with the latest jobs report showing employers added 130,000 jobs in January.

Geoff Bennett discussed more with Harry Holzer, a former chief economist for the Department of Labor.
