New york. i know that jen psaki was out in westchester county and had an interesting conversation when it comes to crime ahead of the elections. let s take a listen to that and then we ll talk. why do you think the issue of bill reform is one that people are talking about or is resonating. because it s scary. and you have the fearmongers who are sitting here and saying if you don t put those people and i say it that way for a reason in jail, they re coming for you. by those people? if you look at every single advertisement, they re always people of color. this was a bit of what i was talking about a little bit earlier, this isn t necessarily doesn t seem to be necessarily kind of this organic concern for a rising crime across the country. it is more manufactured, republicans understanding the mind-set of voters. well, i think crime is a real issue and i think statistics back up that it is a real issue.

Farzad. 260, that s pretty good when it comes to the biden administration and the actions they ve taken so far to kind of slow this economy down and specifically the fed share. talk us through what you re seeing this morning. the labor market remains the bright spot that tells you we re not in a recession. inflation is the issue. 315,000 was the revised number that we saw of jobs added in the month of september. october coming in at 261,000. a bit slower than that pace we saw earlier in the year. i want to height the real important number that we want to pay attention to and that s that 3.7% unemployment rate. keep in mind, these are fluctuation that is we tend to see, not necessarily outside of the normal band of movement in that particular metric. of course, where did we see this? types of industries where we re watching jobs get added, leisure and hospitality, restaurants still adding jobs. interesting to see health care getting a big boost in the month
