In this episode, Megan discusses the impressive September jobs report, with a whopping 336,000 jobs added to the economy. The gains were led by sectors like Leisure and Hospitality and Education, surpassing economist expectations.

The big question now is how this report might impact the Federal Reserve's decisions. With such strong labor market performance, it's highly likely that interest rates will see another increase before the end of the year. Megan also touches on the recent fluctuations in the bond and equity markets.

But don't jump to conclusions just yet. While a strong labor market could facilitate a soft landing for the economy, there's still significant volatility ahead, especially due to rising interest rates. This could put pressure on consumers, potentially affecting the holiday season.
