Make Me Smart

An increasingly anxious U.S. labor market


Listen Later

New survey data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York shows that the percentage of Americans who expect to get laid off in the next four months has gone up. On the other hand, the share of Americans who expect to get a job offer in the next four months is also up. So what gives? We’ll get into the labor market unease and why the Federal Reserve will be paying close attention. Then, we’ll smile about a new tool that could help prevent death from life threatening injuries.


Here’s everything we talked about today:


  • “Expectation of Losing One’s Job at Record High in NY Fed Survey” from Bloomberg
  • “More and more Americans are worried they will lose their job” from CNN Business
  • “US FDA clears use of Cresilon’s gel to stop severe bleeding in seconds” from Reuters
  • Tweet from Jesse Byrnes about errors in the Democratic Party’s 2024 platform
