About this episode
After a short delay from the brief government shutdown, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has released January’s jobs data. In a better-than-expected report, the BLS revealed 130,000 jobs added in the first month of 2026, and the agency revised numbers previously reported. CNBC’s Steve Liesman and Rick Santelli join Groundwork Collaborative’s Kitty Richards and The Heritage Foundation’s Peter St. Onge to digest the numbers and what they mean for the Fed and for politics. Plus, Ford reported its worst quarterly earnings miss in years, and innovation in AI is taking a bite out of another sector: financial services.
