Doesnt seem to be matter if youre welldisciplined on this, it is still a major concern. Right now cases are popping up and deaths increasing at the rate of one every minute across the globe. So well be following all of that. Also following a lot of developments on capitol hill. True to our name, coast to coast. Were watching in washington, d. C. , scramblings and moving as fast as we can getting a stimulus going, as far as dollar amounts. Republican plan.

Com cofounder, jonas and chief workforce analyst joanie courtney. Thank you all. Good to see you. One day after the holiday. So jonas, what are you expecting from the jobs report . Im expecting it to be a little weak, actually. Based on adp or Something Else . Based on the bond market. I dont think all these Bond Investors are wrong. I think were under a 2 yield because the economys slowing globally, not just here. Mostly globally, actually.

Listen to what ted cruz said about getting to yes. If premiums continue to rise after we hold a press conference claiming to have repealed obamacare, that is a disaster. It is a disaster politically. Its a disaster substantiallily. It would be a failure of the mandate weve been given by the voters. Reporter take a look at three senators who are not a no, but theyre not yeses, theyre somewhat unclear. That obviously would be Susan Collins of maine, Lisa Murkowski from alaska, and rob portman from ohio. Neil as you do the math, it is simple, 48 democrats will vote no.

Exactly 32 minutes. There is drama of the weather. We had a Tornado Warning here at 2 00 this afternoon that fortunately only lasted about 1. It has been a day of daylewis rain, lightning, thunder, the day started out with a drop in likelihood that weather would cooperate. It was going to be a 50 50 launch. Its back up to 60 .

Economy added 312,000 jobs in december. That blew past forecasts that data rounded out the year well. In total, if you look for 2018, employers added an average of 220,000 jobs per month. Making 2018 the best jobs growth year since 2015. More jobs added to the u. S. Economy and wage growth gains. It went up 2 . Annual raid, best full year gain in a decade.
