Webinar: Covering the Jobs Report

What’s happening in the job market? Even the experts don’t have a clear answer. Headlines of layoffs in big tech and finance are continuing to dominate the news cycle, but job growth is still booming, and unemployment is among levels not seen for half a century. The slowdown many workers have been told to expect hasn’t yet arrived.

The nation’s monthly employment report may soon be the best indicator to judge whether the U.S. economy has entered or a recession and whether the Fed is succeeding at its inflation fight. Our moderator and panelists will help you better understand the data you can find within the jobs report, what to keep an eye on for a possible slowdown and how to tell a story of one of the most complex labor markets in many workers’ lifetimes.

Panelists for the webinar include:

• Sarah Chaney Cambon, reporter, The Wall Street Journal
• Reade Pickert, business economy reporter, Bloomberg
• Nela Richardson, chief economist, ADP

Moderator:

• Stacey Vanek Smith, global economics correspondent, NPR
