labor market in santa. the number was much weaker than expected. on the bright side, the labor department said the nation's unemployment rate fell to 4.8%. that number was better than expected. >>> bank of america is boosting the minimum wage. the nation's second biggest bank is hiking it to $21 an hour and that is part of the firm's plan to reach $25 an hour by 2025. that you started hiking wages in 2015 fick, when increased the men mum to $15 an hour. >>> and job versus the jab. ibm is the latest company saying the worker must get the covid-19 vaccine or go on unpaid leave. the workers have until december eighth to be vaccinated. the company searching the mandate to abide by the bidenadstration's vaccine mandate. the white house said companies with more than 100 employees must issue vaccine mandates or it of the weekly. >> and we know playing with kits can be rough. which would you rather have? a free upgrade or some family time? >> hmm. >> first class or coach with the kids? four in 10 parents would leave their children in economy class if they got a premium update and 12% of parents polled would wait until the child is 15 before making the move up front. 9% felt comfortable shifting

labor under president bill clinton. he is also the author of "the system, who rigged it, how we fix it." betsy stevenson served on barack obama's council of advisors and as chief of the labor departmentno one can get their heads around them. i work with this all the time and a trillion is meaningless to me whether you tell me it was neanderthals or whatever. i think the goal is to scare people with big numbers but i don't know if it works. what do you think, robert? >> unfortunately, it is working a little bit this time around because, remember, the original number was going to be $3.5 trillion. that was biden's opening, and now it is getting squeezed down to the range of maybe $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion. i think that these numbers only have meaning in comparison with other things that we are trying to do. now, you compared it to national defense. over the next ten years, $8 trillion. now, compare $2 trillion to $8 trillion. >> right. >> you don't have to be an advanced mathematician to see that. if you look at the amount of trillions of dollars that the trump republican tax cuts represented, that was $2 trillion right there, chris. >> right. >> finally, finally if you are looking

although the labor department is saying that the number of worker strikes so far this year is actually down compared to the year before the pandemic, we are seeing kind of an inflection point in the laborkers feel like they have more of a voice, that they want better. and these strikes across the country, they are really emblematic of the leverage that american workers realize that they have. they know employers are struggling to find workers because as of august there are more than 10 million job openings in this country and workers are saying take this job and shove it. they are quitting at a record pace thinking that they could afford to quit for a better opportunity and better compensation. >> all right. thanks so much. >>> coming up next, the message donald trump sent that's becoming a massive headache for republicans. stay with us. your shipping manager left to “find themself.” leaving you lost. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. indeed instant match instantly delivers quality candidates matching your job description. visit indeed.com/hire i'm searching for info on options trading, and look, it feels like i'm just wasting time. that's why td ameritrade designed a fir

labor market back into balance? joining me to discuss, mark piece, national chair of the lashl relations word and bill rogers director with the st. louis fed and former chief economist at the labor department mark, i'll begin with you. is this just the beginning of a wave of additional strikes and similar measures we could see? >> i think so. i think that what we have here is a situation where the pandemic has made clear that workers are vulnerable and are concerned about their health and safety and they have also seen record profits in businesses that have not reached the pockets of the workers. workers see that there is a shortage of laborey have options now. and they're utilizing these opportunities to get better protections and get more money in their pockets to compete and to be on the level they should be given the profits that are being made in this country >> bill it's interesting weave seen wages rise. even if you go back to before the pandemic, a strong economy, wages starting rise long lowest earners, but this is a totally different story. there are specific industries that are hard hit. kinds of industries especially difficult to fill right now. how quickly before the workers come back to the labor force are they in other kind os roles? what does the raft of strikes tell you >> let me go with the raft of strikes. the raft of strikes tell me this is the straw that broke the camel's back, that starting in the 1980s -- a little history here starting in the 198 s there was a concerted effort to weaken unions, weaken organized labor then we also moved into accelerations in terps of globalization and also technologi

labor secretary, you just saw the labor shortage. we heard from secretary buttigieg, transportation secretary on the supply chain issues. the secretary of energy on the gas prices. the secretary of department education dealing with critical race theory and other questions. it's a lot. let's bring in our panel. mollie hemingway senior editor at the federalist and author of the new book rigged how the media big tech and the democrats seized our elections. juan williams an analyst and/or tega former state department spokesperson. when you put tonight that frame morgan, and you were in administration and sometimes you had bad weeks or a couple of bad weeks, but each one of those is a significant issue that this administration is dealing with. >> yeah. at some point, though, you have to get out of the bubble, and this administration has not yet been able to get out of the bubble. and it really i think is endemic of a crisis of leadership, right? really if you ask the american people who's in charge, right? they don't see john yooed as a leader if you look at the polling and they don't see the vice-president standing up and leading on positions she said she was going to. and if you look at poll

government or not, this is in the purview of the labor department, to ensure their workers are fully vaccinated or faced testing at least once a week. in total, this laborion were armand will cover 100 million americans, about two thirds of all of the people working in america. here's the deal. these are already proving to work. host: president biden yesterday in illinois. we hear more from president biden today, specifically on the jobs report. we expect that in two hours from the white house, 11:30 officially on the president's schedule, eastern. you can watch it on the c-span networks. also president biden later this afternoon, 145 time eastern, delivering remarks on restoring protections for some national monuments. here is the new york times a story on what we are expecting the president to stay there. the president is expected to announce he will use his executive authority to restore sweeping environmental protections to three major national monuments that have been stripped away by former president donald trump according to people familiar with the matter. he will reinstate and expand the 1.3 million acre boundary errors -- boundaries of a natio

labor movement itself is being transformed as a result of the pandemic? alex: absolutely. we see this reflected even among nonunion workers in what people are calling the great resignation. the numbers came out from the department of labor that shows that in august, almost 3% of the u.s. workforce quit their jobs, about 4 million or so workers, which is an enormous number of people. a lot of those workers are trying to switch industries, a lot of them are finding better deals or trying to navigate the labor market for themselves. it reflects a reevaluation of priorities. workers i speak to all the time across various industries say the pandemic showed them it is not worth it to risk your life and the health of your family for a job or employer who does not treat you well and might be willing to kill you, not taking the right protections to protect you from covid. workers have said, especially iatse is a great example but those workers in the food and manufacturing sector who have been on strike because they worked 80 hours a week. they say a good life is not just work and if that is not a deal that is on offer, i am not keeping this job anymore. amy: we are going to break but alex, we want you to stay with us as we speak with a worker at john deere on the picket line and also got right here to new york, to speak with one of the main organizers of the taxi workers who are facing an increasing number of suicides dealing with massive debt, costly medallions as they try to compete with compa

of companies in the labor market competing to attract and retain workers. attorney general garland, what is the department of justice doing to insure that there's competition in our labor markets and is this yet another area where the department needs additional resources to fulfill the mission laid out by president biden? >> thank you for the question. the justice department's antitrust division agrees. i don't know if you hear either, agrees competition in labor markets is as much a part of the antitrust laws as our consumer markets. we have a number of investigations involved in those areas that you're talking about. we have a criminal case, all public. on the no-poaching issue, we have brought cases and investigations regarding allocations of labor markets. so i think i can fairly say we agree with you. this is an area of concern, and it's an area of antitrust division focus. the antitrust division does need more money. and more lawyers and economists and investigators. it was down substantially, one of the lowest head counts in quite a number of years. and we very much need to fill that back. and that's why our fy '22 appropriations request asks for a substantial
