With government jobs report delayed, what other data reveals

Season 2025 Episode 311 | 8m 17s

The labor market may not be cratering, but it does not look very strong. This week, a private report found 42,000 new jobs were created last month. Then, a separate report found more than 150,000 jobs were cut in October – the highest in over two decades. Paul Solman takes a look at the official numbers from the government and the questions over whether the measurements are outdated.
