Feel Your Feelings: Jobs, Trump Accounts, and America's Big Birthday | Off the Clock

Justin is back with Stacey Vanek Smith for another episode of Off
the Clock just in time for America’s 250th birthday. The two of
us dive into the latest economic news, and sift through the noise
so you don’t have to.

This week’s conversation covers the latest jobs report
(disappointing but far from a disaster), the possible causes of
the ongoing disconnect between economic statistics and consumer
sentiment, the pros and cons and a less transparent Fed, and
America’s newest addition to its tax code—Trump accounts.

To wrap things up, Justin and Stacey look back on the many ways
life has improved for Americans over our nation’s 250 years—from
income to life expectancy to jobs, and what that might tell us
about the future of work and our next quarter-millennium.
