12:00 pm
from bloomberg world headquarters in new york, good friday afternoon. i am scarlet fu. >> i am angie lau. we are covering stories from rio de janeiro to washington to beijing this hour. here's what we are watching. better than forecast jobs data sending u.s. jobs -- stocks to a new record. the latest jobs report will test donald trump's pitch to make america great again as he relies on economic advisers to carry his message forward. angie: to the copper market we go. goldman sachs sounds the alarm for the price of metal to fall below 4000. what we should expect a supply storm, and how to prepare for all of it in this hour. scarlet: we are halfway through the u.s. trading day. let's go to the markets desk,
12:01 pm
where ramy inocencio has been tracking the followed from the better-than-expected jobs report. ramy: looking at where we are right now, we are just off of session highs. i want you to look specifically at numbers for the s&p 500, as well as the nasdaq, on pace to close at all time record highs for both indices. the s&p 500's highest previous therd high was 2175 and nasdaq was 6218. we are still 90 points away from the dow record high, but still up by more than 150 points on the day because of that stellar jobs report. function,e imap looking at the sector health of the s&p's 10 sectors, seeing broad rallies across the board. utilities and telecoms are laggards, but financials saw the biggest jump, 1.65% because of
12:02 pm
what happened with the jobs data consumer discretionary. information-technology up 1.1%. take a look at a deeper dive into financials. across the financial board, it is in the green. financial up 4.4%. bank of america and citigroup all up, seeing their biggest jump in five weeks. scarlet: another group prominently in the news today, health care. ramy: but looking the other way. talking about all the screen, there definitely is negativity in the health care sector. let's look at bristol-myers squibb and merck, these two are moving in tandem with each other. the news at of bristol-myers squibb is that its lung cancer drug failed in a late stage trial. that's why shares or falling. merck competes with bristol-myers squibb in that same area, and for its drug it
12:03 pm
has seen positivity, which is why shares are up nearly 7%. let's move on to know nordisk. this is the world -- novo nordisk. this is the world's biggest insulin maker, with a 50% share of the world's supply, but insulin shares or falling in shares are looking at the biggest drop in the last three and a half years, down more than 10%. finally, let's look at earnings regeneron and x-ray, both shares at their lowest in the past few weeks. scarlet: good stuff. thank you so much. let's check in on the bloomberg first word news. mark crumpton has more from our newsroom. mark: there is a racial divide among young americans over hillary clinton's use of a private e-mail server while she was secretary of state. most young whites say she intentionally broke the law, but young minorities are more likely to give her the benefit of the doubt.
12:04 pm
the new poll of young americans 18 to 30 also finds both mrs. clinton and donald trump are viewed negatively by a majority of those surveyed. mr. trump has unveiled his team of economic advisers, including john paulson, a hedge fund billionaire, dan kowalski, former staffer on the senate financial committee, and trump's national finance chairman. another victim of the attack in nice, france has died, bringing the death toll to 85. a 56-year-old man wounded in the attack died in the hospital. his wife and their 13 were also killed when a truck driven by a tunisian man barrel down the same promenade on july 14. islamic state has claimed responsibility. secretary of state john kerry is going to turkey sometime this month, according to turkey's foreign minister. relations between the u.s. and turkey have been's trained --
12:05 pm
have been strained over the possible extradition of a muslim cleric accused of masterminding the possible coup attempt. global news 24 hours a day, powered by 2600 journalists in 120 countries. i am mark crumpton. this is bloomberg. scarlet: the u.s. posted another strong month of job gains. payrolls climbed 255,000 last month, exceeding economic forecasts. wages also went higher, which might. -- which mightld bolster probability of a rate hike this year. joining us is carl riccadonna. for a second straight month, you and your economists were not able to get anywhere close to the number we got. what happened? carl: it's exley three-month, because no -- it is actually three months. so something unusual is happening here. we have to step back and look at the broader trend, to get a
12:06 pm
sense of what's going on. if you look at six-month and 12 month moving averages, you can see that there is some response to the sluggish gdp growth we have seen. as strong as today looks, and last month as well, the actual average is moving a little cooler, so there is a bit of a downshift taking place. angie: of course, in this political election cycle, jobs are the focus. underemployment actually is rising. could this be a sign that, sure, there are jobs, they are just not the kinds of jobs people want? karl: that's part of the story. as you increase hiring across the spectrum, there's high-quality, high-paying jobs, and also lots of lower quality jobs, and people who can't find full-time employment. janet yellen looks at this as evidence there is still slack in the labor market.
12:07 pm
participation rate remains unusually low, so i don't think she's particularly concerned, looking at a report like today, that things are getting ahead of and that fed is possibly the economy is overheating. aboutt: you were talking the six month moving averages showing a downshift. if that's the case, the rise in personal income, is that ephemeral, or is there a delayed reaction to that happening? arl: labor inflation is lagging economic indicator, so what it looks like, and i have said this time and again to you, you only get to see full employment in your rearview mirror, set out we are starting to see the flickers that indicate that maybe we are very close to full employment. you see the unemployment rate hovering around 4.9%, not able to break the low that for any sustained time. similarly, the participation
12:08 pm
rate seems to now be hovering at that current level. that gives me some optimism that we will see more wage pressures. now, if we look at average hourly earnings, it really has been range bound. we are at the top of the range, but not breaking to new highs, and i suspect we will see over the course of the second half of this year, and that will provide a critical pillar of support the consumer spending, which is really the sole driver of economic growth. that was true in q2, and q2 gdp, the composition of gdp provides a template of what we should be looking at at the second half of the year. angie: and how critical is that, you know, that pay rise, that breaks that level, as you said? how much of it, as well, is seasonal here? students, even political workers hitting the pavement? carl: there can be some of the
12:09 pm
impact, but consumer spending, with a 4.2% growth in the second quarter of last year. we need to see very strong retail sales numbers over the next couple months to have confidence the economy is pulling out of this morass it has been stuck in for the last several quarters. along with employment numbers today, we had trade figures that tell us the gdp will be even weaker than what we saw initially for q2, 1.2%, and the latest numbers are pushing that probably below 1%. scarlet: so with this mixed bag, give us your best assessment of how janet yellen will characterize the economy when she speaks in jackson hole? carl: i think she has to recalibrate expectations, because the september meeting, we will get the new economic projections, and i think the fed has to continue to back away from rate increases. they started at the year saying four, and two meetings ago they
12:10 pm
signaled two, so in september we will see that the clock, the shot clock has run down. there is not time for two rate increases this year. september is not relist it. it is too close -- is not realistic. it is too close to the election. even if gdp rebounds, we will not have confirmation of that in time for september meetings, said she is looking to guide expectations down, prepare for forecast downgrades. after all, the fat is looking for 2% growth this year. given what we saw in the first half, we need to see an acceleration to 3% gdp growth in the second half of the year. that is a tall order. scarlet: thank you, carl riccadonna, chief u.s. economist for bloomberg intelligence. coming up, the royal bank of scotland posts a huge loss. we'll hear from the cfo of that t and record low interest rates are shaping the bank's outlook. this is bloomberg.
12:11 pm
12:12 pm
12:13 pm
angie: you are watching bloomberg markets. scarlet: it is time for the bloomberg business flash, a look at the biggest business stories in the news right now. jeff bezos sold one million shares of amazon.com this week for $757 million, according to a filing with the ftc. his sales to 1.4 billion this year. shares of the online retailer are up 13% this year, making personhe third-richest on earth according to the bloomberg billionaires index. the u.s. is asking a federal appeals court to reconsider its a $1.3n to toss out
12:14 pm
billion judgment against ankara america's countrywide unit, claiming they overlooked a wealth of evidence. the government won the award after a 2013 trial where jurors found the company defrauded financiers freddie mac and fannie mae by selling them thousands of defective loans. royal bank of scotland is posting a larger than expected loss in the second quarter. weighing on results, litigation expenses related to a lawsuit over the 2008 share sales. they are halfway through a plan to shrink the former global titan into a domestic lender just as the u.k. economy is under pressure following the brexit vote. angie: let's take deeper into what is driving the weakness at the royal bank of scotland. manus cranny sat down with the company's cfo, ewen stevenson, to talk about its future. >> >> we are a very liquid bank >>. our loan to deposit ratio is 92%. we are the fastest growing in
12:15 pm
the u.k. manus: but it's going to squeeze your numbers. >> it will squeeze us, it will squeeze the interest margin, but will it help us lend more? no, because we have already been lending at a decent rate. manus: does the governor get that message, that it is a demand problem, not a supply program -- problem? >> every bank is different. for us, it is more of a demand problem, not a supply problem. the new other banks, lending facility will be helpful. a cut?will you look at >> we will look at all of our problems. manus: you will go on? >> we will certainly be looking at it. >
12:16 pm
manus: we are heading to a zero interest rate world potentially in the u.k.. how are you going to do with that? how are you preparing to deal with 0%? >> as you saw a couple weeks ago, in terms of terms and conditions we have put ourselves in a position that, if we needed to come and we hope we would not need to, to be able to look at how we get to a fairer balance between our customers. we have about 85 billion pounds bearing onrest demand deposits. that is a tough place to be in a zero interest rate environment. i think we are heading into an environment that is structurally lower, in terms of profitability, for the large u.k. banks, and going to make it banks.for sub scale
12:17 pm
manus: can you tell me what's going on in the u.k.? is the demand dropping off? the data you see since the 24th of june, what is it telling you? >> we are the biggest commercial bank in the country, and we have seen for some time a slowdown among our corporate customer base, selling decisions to invest in people, invest in plans, continuing after the referendum vote on the retail side. we have seen a drop off in mortgage application volumes. there is definitely a slowdown going on. manus: would you call it a recession? >> i would not. when you look at the numbers from mark carney yesterday, we were quite pleased. the numbers were broadly in line with our own estimates. cfo ewenthat was rbs stevenson. still ahead on bloomberg markets, as donald announces his economic advisory group, we will
12:18 pm
take a look at some of the company that he kept before he was the presidential nominee. this is bloomberg. ♪
12:19 pm
12:20 pm
scarlet: jill stein, green party presidential candidate, will join bloomberg from the green party convention in houston on her attempt to win senator sanders supporters. and a donald trump advisor will join us from washington for his take on the jobs report. both conversations begin at 2:00 p.m. eastern donald on politics, today announced his economic advisor group, including steve
12:21 pm
roth, harold hamm, and tom barrett. who trump surrounds himself with is one of the top stories on the bloomberg, called "the company donald trump keeps." joining us is the article's author, tim o'brien. tim is also the author of "trump nation." we need to give full disclosure here -- tim: donald suit me in 2006 over the book for libel and lost that's it. scarlet: -- lost that suit. scarlet: but you had many conversations, and were able to see who he kept company with. what is the take away? tim: the thing to remember about donald trump, he's not a guy with fortune 500, blue-chip business relationships. he is a streetsmart real estate developer. he was in atlantic city, a new york -- in new york real estate in the 1970's. scarlet: a rough-and-tumble world. tim: lots of developers had to intersect with tough guys.
12:22 pm
the interesting thing about trump, he has chosen even in the face of a lot of evidence his business partners have unsavory ties, have clear organized crime ties, other problems in the past, he has chosen not only to continue doing business with them, but to develop intimate operating relations with them. scarlet: hasn't this kind of work in his favor? since this is really an election that is based on antiestablishment, anti-wall street almost? tim: i think there's a clear difference between antiestablishment and working with people who have dubious backgrounds. he went into atlantic city, initially in a real estate partnership with individuals who had organized crime ties. the trump soho hotel was built one a trio of characters, of whom had been convicted first d had run aassault an
12:23 pm
boiler room operation with individuals with organized crime ties. i think that is not antiestablishment. i think that gets to questions about his judgment. this came up in recent weeks, how good his donald trump's judgment? is he willing to sully his reputation, or his business relationships, to make a quick buck? scarlet: one could argue that everybody has these relationships in their closet. tim: do they? i think this is an unusual moment. i don't think anyone else running for president of the united states has a history of dealing with organized crime. scarlet: we did not know about the organized crime links until years later. it may not have been apparent that he was in business with them at the time? tim: no, it was, and he knew it. fbicknowledged it to investigators when he was being licensed to run casinos in atlantic city, and continued to do business with those people. they worked with him when he developed the grand hyatt in new
12:24 pm
york. more recently, the trump soho opening in 2010, when we deposed at that .1rly knew of his key business partners in that you had organized crime ties and he continued to do business with him. i don't think we can say there's a lot of people in business who choose to do business with people of questionable backgrounds. i think trump really stands out as somebody who has exercised uniquely poor judgment. scarlet: does he still associate with them? tim: currently, right now, i don't know. i know that in the soho hotel, he maintains his relationship with that individual for years after it was very obvious that person was someone who other business people might shy away from. angie: you had interesting things to say about steve ross, who is amongst his team of advisers. they have an interesting history, i guess, one that makes it curious --
12:25 pm
tim: steve ross was a big backer of jeb bush early on, in bush's campaign and right up until, i believe, jeb bush left the race. authenticallyan well thought of major developer in new york. he's actually completed the kind of projects that trump says he has that hasn't really. donald will say he's the biggest real estate developer in new york. he is not. steve roth and vornado can lay claim to that. trump is very competitive with other real estate developers. there's very few of them he has a kind word for. i think he and steve roth have been very competitive in the past, but apparently times have changed. scarlet: among the other advisors will be harold hamm of continental resources, and tom barrett of colony capital, and
12:26 pm
donald trump will be giving an economic outline of his plan on monday, bringing that to you when it takes place. what do you expect to hear from him, when he does speak? tim: on monday? i think he has, november is not very far away, and he really has to start to move toward giving voters clear, a clear sense of what his political and economic platforms are, moving away from all of the mudslinging around his critics, because it's only hurting him. scarlet: tim o'brien, bloomberg executive editor. tune in at 2:30 today for trump's senior economic adviser, on bloomberg markets. up next, july jobs data came in st estimates.omi and have to move on a rate hike? -- enough to move on a rate hike? ♪

1:07 pm
situation in the u.s. in the u.s. we are bumping along at this 2% or so gdp. that is been the case for several years. sometimes the data fluctuates down. then it rebounds and everybody is surprised. at the end of the day it has been powering through. what would be a concern is it looks like the u.s. is overheating. that would be destabilizing for the world. the unemployment rate is hardly moving. you have almost as many people coming into the labor force as there are jobs. that is something that plummeted in the last recession. i think this is something the fed wants to see continue. not something they are going to want to stop. they may not be concerned about this level of wage growth. scarlet: you like bonds and you have written in the past that in these troubled times of fixed income strategy come the search for safe yields should result in respectable returns in the medium to long run. others disagree.
1:08 pm
bill gross says he doesn't like stocks, he doesn't like bonds. we spoke with him this week. take a listen. bill: i think it is obvious that with $10 trillion worth of bonds globally in the negative camp, common sense would tell you that bonds aren't attractive. you have to pay them. bonds aren't an asset in bonds or liability in a negative interest rate. why would some you want bonds if they thought they were going even more negative? scarlet: bill gross is in like stocks come he doesn't like most bonds. robert: the question is if you want to go by the 10-year japanese government bond in the negative single digits come that is a tougher call. if we are looking at the broad u.s. fixed income market, we are credibly attracted to european, japanese investors, asian investors at large, global investors. treasuries are just the starting point.
1:09 pm
in spread product there is a lot of opportunity. i think people are forgetting that we are really stilln a downward trend in terms of overall nominal gdp growth and a lot of the growth we have seen going back 20 310 years ago was in china and the ramp-up in the yen. angie: there is two aspects to the asian story. there's a lot of japanese investors with capital outflows from japan looking for yields in the u.s., so buying up treasuries. but selling treasuries, the chinese, to fund the run stabilization or whatnot. there's really two aspects to this. does it even out? robert: absolutely. i think that treasuries -- if you look inside the fixed income markets, other elements like the fed funds, interest-rate swap, ois market, interest-rate swap market, are much more expensive. treasuries are historically cheap relationships relative to
1:10 pm
derivatives. that, the take a the more approach, attractive fixed income sectors capitalizing on opportunities are going to do very well. i think more of the risk of this point in the cycle -- it is hard to see it in the u.s. but if you look globally come equities are having a hard time. this is the point in the cycle where fears of the fed can push up the dollar and hurt the stock market, like we have seen a couple times over the past year. scarlet: we have seen economics of prices rise. the economic surprises -- we have seen economic surprises rise. you say it has more to do with global backdrop. with yields staying low even as economic surprises continue to increase, what would it take to get back into the cause-and-effect relationship? robert: sure.
1:11 pm
you would need to see a different world. [laughter] robert: i mean, you are looking at europe and japan and they are doing everything possible to get 2% inflation. they can't do it. in europe and a lot of places there is a lot of excess capacity. a very tough handful of years. in the world is really looking for business. any excess demand that the u.s. makes will get satiated from abroad and, you know, things look good. if you look at the last six years, the u.s. economy has done reasonably well. that is a function of the world backdrop. that is basically the new normal, angie. angie: and how do you play the new normal? you have a call saying the 10-year yields will be range-down between 1.5 and 2%. what is going to precipitate?
1:12 pm
scarlet -- robert: what we have seen in europe and japan, over the next six to 18 months you cou see yields as low as three quarters. scarlet: wow. robert: the fragility out there is very high. there are a lot of risks. i don't think he will see great strain it either of those extremes. for investors in the higher-yielding sectors, within whatever is the risk parameters, they are going to do very well over the long run. especially relative to where cash rate will be. and income products could be competitive even with equities. toie: robert to we are going the -- robert tipp, we are going to leave it there. thanks so much for joining us. scarlet: coming up on "bloomberg markets," after bristol-myers ribs drugs fail to trauma, what comes next.

joining us is bloombergs keri geiger. i guess they can't plead that ignorance is bliss here. keri: well, it is a major, major part of this huge scandal. goldman was the underwriter for the money, the $6 billion that went into this fund. disappeared and likely was stolen out of the fund. of course they are going to be under the microscope, and every communication and research and due diligence they did about how the proceeds were transmitted of course are going to be looked at. angie: but i got a tell you, it is a messy, messy case. the malaysian attorney general has almost -- said it was .verybody else's issue million on or$650 little bit more than that that ended up in his personal bank

scrub that away or justify it in any case. goldman sachs was the bond underwriting. was that one and done or was there more consistent work? keri: that was a major part of what the business relationship was. obviously, they were a banker that facilitated the transactions for 1mdb. the transactions themselves came under quite a bit of scrutiny when they were done because they were associated with very, very high fees, abnormally high fees for this type of deal. scarlet: how much are we talking about? , oh my gosh, what was it, angie? upwards of 5%, 10% of the deal? angie: this tells the story right there. we can see the fees for the malaysian investment bank deals, $550 million in 2012, and it gets progressively less money goes on. this is a juicy deal for bankers. keri: all the bankers in hong

1:32 pm
in the top -- semiconductors, internet. the tech dividend etf at the top was just shocking to me because this thing normally -- ok, there is a huge selloff of the highfliers, like me with it will go down 1% instead of 10. it is not supposed to be the highfliers it is up 15% this you, more than xlk, which is brought text, and -- scarlet: new economy sector. eric: totally. those are the young guns. the fact that this has older guard stocks like ibm and intel, etc., fascinating that it is now the highflyer in some volatility go up. part of the bigger the this year , the reach for yield. low vol craze did anything that is low value has seen a lot of increased interest. angie: you know what they say, no school like the old school,
1:33 pm
right? what is driving these old schoolers to leave the way? anurag: i think eric said it best, the run for the yield, run for the dividend. so technically they also offering something to the table perhaps others aren't? anurag: absolutely. and a lot of these places the growth rate declined has not been as bad as the past few years. they are transitioning products to the clouds slowly. it is not going to be overnight. you can see a little bit of momentum in the transition, and valuations compared to the rest of the tech space is relatively low. i like that you said that, the growth rate declines are letting up a little bit. anurag, you look at these carefully. look at the negative numbers for the growth rate in revenue. -3% for the most recent quarter.
1:34 pm
last year at the same time, -15%. you havecktrack, nothing positive revenue growth since 2012. prospects of ibm getting growth rates back to positive rates? anurag: it will take a little bit of quarters out assuming the transition continues in the same way it has been. up high-growth areas make for the larger portion of ibm's business and the legacy business continues to decline. with that in mind, if you see the rate of the kind of revenue started to come down over the past couple of quarters, and if this continues, who could assume --up-ice in the next couple of years you could see positive growth in that area. angie: talk about the irony of the low volatility craze that is actually driving volatility in tech stocks. eric: it's fascinating, if you grasp the volatility over the last couple years, the chart

goes right out. rushally, there has been a to stocks that are low volatile and have bigger dividends and the volatility has gone up. you are seeing momentum attributes -- to me, this is a sleepy etf. we have seen the volatility go up 50% in the past year, which is a little bit of a red flag for investors who are looking to play this for the yield. it is looking a little jumpy for what it normally does. scarlet: given this kind of performance, does it mean that the newer cloud companies, whether it is salesforce, for instance, will need to consider paying a dividend to make sure they get the kind of investor base that perhaps the other companies are? anurag: that could be tough to digest for investors as well because historically you don't see high growth car companies or analytics paying any kind of dividends.
1:36 pm
they would rather use the cash for some kind of acquisitions. i'm not sure if the investors are ready for that shift. but what we do see in similar cases in countries like oracle or microsoft that have adopted cloud in a big way, they are seeing some momentum in cloud and increasing come edition for the likes of salesforce. scarlet: and they are continuing to increase their dividend as well. they can't stop doing that. and it is really the old guard that can offer dividends. i wonder if it really is a drive because they are looking into cloud computing and all the rest were is it negative options on newer startups where investors are little bit more concern uniform valuations that don't make fundamental sense and whether or not they have the confidence in those tech startups rather than the old guard? you would seeing is even despite a lot of
1:37 pm
competition and the old guys getting into the cloud, the growth rates for some of these companies is still relatively ok . it is about 20, 20 5% for a large portion of these cloud-based companies, which is not bad in current circumstances where there is little to no growth in any of the other areas. scarlet: talk about flows here into this etf. are we starting to see outflows as the volatility increases? eric: no, no, flows literally follow performance from especially in sectors. -- i: had a consistent vanguard -- i call it vanguardian, when you see these coming rain or shine. imagine you are an advisor. a product that a retiree would like. you see these come in consistently. there has been an uptick. that is what makes me think of some of the people are performance chasing and disappointed when it starts to move a lot -- return a lot less in the future.

1:46 pm
one round of data does not a trend make. that being said, there are underlying trends that do have economists worry. your today, canada has created 12,400 -- year to date, canada has created 12,400 new jobs, the worst seven-month string since 1976. alberta is showing the highest unemployment rate in a scene in almost 20 years. all of job growth -- this is what i see as the most worrying -- all the job growth we have seen was part-time work. we gained part-time jobs but we lost more than 70,000 full-time jobs. you know obviously that the quality of those types of jobs is very different from the economic point of view in terms of consumer confidence, spending , all the things you want to stimulate growth. full-time jobs are worth much more. finally, on the trade front, the fact that we have the canadian dollar trading at about $.75 u.s., where three years ago it
1:47 pm
was on parity with the u.s. dollar, even with the week canadian dollar we are renting a trade deficit. export are rising but they are not rising fast enough to outpace the growth in imports we are seeing. all four of those things are of some concern to economists. angie: what were the other reactions in the canadian market today? danielle: the canadian dollar, not surprisingly, the big loser in all of this. the future the canadian dollar against gulf, both are straight down immediately afterwards. the loonie lost .70 five cents on the news. meet witha double and your strong nonfarm payrolls report because obviously we are trading in relation to the u.s. dollar as well. the canadian dollar is still performing relatively well against most of its g10 counter parts but that is not saying all that much in this low interest rate environment. overall, not a good day today. the one ray of light is that we are piggybacking on the rally that you guys are seeing south

rise to a slowing economy or even a mild recession that may not rise to the extremity of concern to want to take you there. i am kind of sympathetic not so much to pre-committing not to go there. i think professor blanchflower makes a point in that regard. but i wouldn't rush to go there myself. i suppose i cannot fault him for doing it at the bank of england. madeet: mark carney has clear he doesn't want to go to negative interest rates but what he is going to do is add a new term funding scheme to ensure that the rate cut is passed on to households and businesses. is there precedent for this being effective? neal: i think there is a real issue in that regard. british household sectors are fairly heavily indebted. a lot of that is mortgage debt. a lot of that is related to short-term interest rates. when you cut them, you have cut

the revenue of the banking system, and you don't want your banks to have less revenue. you want them to be in a healthy enough circumstance so that they will lend to support the economy. you have to do something on this side of the ledger and i think it makes a lot of sense to be mindful of that and create a facility like this one, in effect to insulate the banks against the shock of the net interest margin that otherwise would come. that does encourage them to pass this through to the ultimate borrowers. scarlet: neal moss credit suisse and any blanchflower of dartmouth. angie: joining as is "what'd you miss" cohost joe weisenthal. we will talk about the jobs report and it will be the three charts to dissect everything, but what caught your eye on this job state -- this jobs day? this idea from a harvard economist that low income jobs will be more and more important to the labor economy. is perfectthis
