Debt ceiling takeaways: Biden's invite to liberal skeptics to 'talk to me,' McCarthy's balancing act
"Congress is back and topping the agenda is a debt ceiling deal. No one claims to really like. I'm Ben Thomas with a closer look. Democrats who have reservations about this compromise bill. Talk to me. President Biden acknowledges not all Democrats, particularly those on the left, may vote for the package, Congress is taking up. But I spoke to a whole bunch of people and it feels good. We'll see when the votes start. His debt ceiling deal with House speaker Kevin McCarthy runs 99 pages, both can point to provisions they can call victories, funding medical care for veterans and changing work requirements for government aid and streamlining environmental reviews for energy projects. But each side has a job to do to win over enough lawmakers in their parties to pass it. Some conservatives are concerned the deal doesn't cut future deficits enough. Meanwhile, Democrats have been worried about those changes to programs like food stamps. Ben Thomas, Washington

The Growing Culture War Around Bitcoin
"Our feature today is entitled, DeSantis and the Growing Culture War Around Bitcoin. This week, CoinDesk published one of the most thought -provoking and balanced articles on Bitcoin mining I've ever read. The report is focused around the Greenwich Bitcoin Mining Company in upstate New York, which was at the center of a protracted media cycle last year after environmental activists claimed the facility was boiling the waterways and poisoning delicate ecosystems. Those claims went on to influence an actual policy decision by the governor of New York, restricting Bitcoin mining in the state. The thing is, most of the worst claims about Greenwich were straight up wrong. CoinDesk's Nick Day and other reporters took a trip up to Dresden in upstate New York to take the temperature of the lake and speak to the locals, finding that not a single lawmaker visited the Rust Belt town or spoke to its mayor before drafting what is essentially a freeze on new Bitcoin miners. Most of the Bitcoin mining debate today is centered around the Bitcoin network's environmental impact. Greenwich became a lightning rod because before the company moved equipment into the plant that now uses natural gas, it was deactivated, meaning when the miners were turned on, they weren't just drawing on electricity that would have been produced anyways, but actively releasing fresh so -called carbon into the atmosphere. The Bitcoin network uses as much energy as a country like Norway, and trying to wrap your head around whether that is or isn't worth it often comes down to your point of view on how you value permissionless money. Individuals can certainly make up their minds on the matter, but how a state should treat Bitcoin, for instance, whether mining should be encouraged or banned, is a societal -level conversation involving politicians, stakeholders, and those affected. In a behind -the -scenes account of how the story came to be, Day wrote that he expected locals to hate the plant. He and his team had heard that Greenwich was pumping pollution into Seneca Lake and creating incessant noise, a claim that was also debunked. Instead, the CoinDesk team found that many in the town and surrounding areas supported the upstart business. Although Greenwich created a relatively small number, every job counts in a town like Dresden, which has a population of just 296. In fact, a few complaints about Greenwich lodged by locals came from so -called cottage people, the wealthy out -of -towners with vacation homes on the lakeshore. Sure, as taxpayers, these people have a right to be concerned about their property value, but should their opinion matter more? Because it seemed

FTX CEO's Legal Billings Hint at Comeback for the Exchange
"It wouldn't be a Taco Tuesday without referencing some insanity regarding FTX. FTX's CEO's legal billings continue to hint at 2 .0 and now we've got something from the New York Times and I've actually got a hot take about this. Oh, I get to do the hot take first? Okay. So my hot take is that I actually think, and again, you guys are not financial guys, I think that the reboot of FTX is going to actually be a good thing. FTX really had a lot of great products and services that were available. However, they had absolute trash management. And I think if a mature responsible adult can actually take the money and be transparent, not use customer funds for weird things, then I think that the platform does have some sort of chance to do well. That sounds like creditor talk. It does not sound like it. No, I'm actually, I am an FTX US creditor, but I'm being serious. They really had great products and services. And one thing that Sam did well was he was able to communicate to his audience and pull or integrate things that they wanted, which was good. However, they just were scammers behind the scenes. So it sucks. So I don't know, maybe there will be some sort of good that comes out of this. Either way, I'm probably not going to touch it. And I'm not going to tell my audience about it. Did the things work though, Wendy? I mean, we don't have FTX here in Canada, but I heard they didn't really work all that well. They did. They did. Okay. A lot of users really like the interface. Like the UI on FTX was like pretty slick, et cetera. I don't think it's really going to happen. I mean, I think he's exploring all avenues, right? Because JJ Ray, the third, his mandate is to give as much money back to creditors as possible. And if this is a possibility for doing so, then sure, put some billable hours on there and indicate that you're at least thinking about it. Whether or not this will actually happen, I guess I'm a little bit less optimistic on this ever coming to pass, but this is the man's job. He's out there to make sure that people can get their money back to the best of his ability. And I think the fact that he's considering this is interesting. Maybe it's a bit little outside the box thinking, but bringing this back in some form may ultimately bring revenue in the door that could make creditors whole. So credit's in for thinking it, but I don't, I don't see it happening.

On this week's AP Religion Roundup, a new film explores faith and growing up, and CeCe Winans talks about her career in contemporary Christian music.
"On this week's AP religion roundup, a new film explores faith and growing up and Celine and talks about her career in contemporary Christian music. Dear lord. I want to reflect your holiness. Laurel par met's directorial debut, the starling girl puts the viewer in the modest shoes of a 17 year old named Jim. The main character has grown up in a conservative Christian community. He lies a scanlon who plays Jim, says the movie tackles sensitive subjects. The film in a greater sense, I think, explores abusive relationships and I think it does a really good job at not falling into a stereotype. Ren Schmidt plays Jim strict mother. She says the film explores how everyone's lives are shaped by beliefs. All of these characters in a way are held back or confined by their belief system. I think that's definitely something that is something that we can all identify with. The starling girl is in wide release this weekend. Lord we are ready for more Cece wine and singing career spans more than 40 years, recording and performing both as a solo artist and as a duo with her brother Bebe. AP's Hillary Powell spoke to sisi during her first tour in a decade. So many songs have gotten people through, including goodness of God. But there's also like a contemporary nature to your music as well. How has that kind of helped maybe speak to different audiences? It wasn't a strategic plan to be played outside of the walls of church, but we loved contemporary music and not just contemporary we loved it all. But BB and I chose to go that route because as he would write and we would sit down and see how these songs would go, it just became our style. And I think that proves that God is for every part of our lives.

"jobs" Discussed on The Indicator from Planet Money
"Call center. There are two main surveys that go into jobs Friday one that surveys households for things like unemployment and a second survey of businesses and government agencies. This one is called the establishment survey. And this is where you get the jobs numbers, that 390,000 jobs added to the economy in May. And every month, the establishment survey interviews about a 130,000 employers. It covers about a third of all non farm workers in the country. Some employers complete the survey online, but a lot of it is done the old fashioned way over the phone. Hi, Darien, it's Erica Henry with U.S. Department of Labor. How are you doing this afternoon? I'm doing very well. How are you today? I'm doing okay. Erica henin is an agent for the bureau of labor statistics in the Department of Labor. She is one of about 300 people working the phones to paint that big picture of jobs in America. Erica used to work as a bakery manager, so she's no stranger to chatting with people. And I will attribute that to my mother. She's a hairdresser, so she's been a person who's always talked to people. And so I've just been around that. I mean, hairdressers know everything, waylon. Yeah, they do. I mean, I have spilled many a secret to my hairdresser. And this chit chatting is really important because when we spoke, Erica was aiming to make 400 calls for the month, with people who don't necessarily want to answer them. It gets stressful towards the end because you're like, I want to make those numbers. A lot of businesses when they call and we talk to them. They're not going to do it because it's not mandatory. The more people who pick up the phone, the more comprehensive the survey is, and the more accurate the jobs Friday numbers will be. While I'm on the line, Erica calls up a professional employer organization in Arizona. This is a kind of company that shares hiring with small businesses. It's Erica with the U.S. Department of Labor. How are you doing today? Doing good. I think I just know your voice by now when you call. I know it's been a while for us. The way the survey works is that the same business will get a call each month for anywhere between two and four years. That way, they're already familiar with how the survey works when Erica dials them. And so for that pay period that included may 12th and how many total employees work to receive pay. 80. I went up another person, yay. We'll take it. It doesn't happen very often lately. No, I know. Erica asks a few more questions. The same she'll ask every employer. How many of their staff are women? How many are in non supervisory roles? Total payroll costs for everybody. And the total hours were want me to put in a little note for the statisticians as to the reason for that increase. And Erica jots down notes for why this company's employees were working more hours this month. But you have a very happy Memorial Day and I'll check back in with you in June, okay? All right. Thank you. You too have a good one. Okay. So if this is representative of the rest of the economy, then we're doing pretty good in the labor market. Yep, I will take any little bit of increase that I can see definitely. I'm relieved that it's another business that I can check off my list and then I just put my nose to the grindstone and call the other 399 cases that I have. 399. We call it smiling and dialing and you just call you collected at it. You sank them, you schedule them forward and you hang up and then you just do the next call. And then all of a sudden you look up and it's lunch time and you're like, where did the morning go? Has it got an easier or harder to get people to respond over the years? Has gotten harder. It has gotten harder over the years, especially after the pandemic. There has been some pushback from different respondents that don't want to report the data because of the political economy the way it is and everything like that. There has been some pushback. There is some distrust there. And I've actually had a few people that have yelled at me and screamed at me and then they called me back and apologized because they realized that they took it out in the wrong person. And their outlet, I am the person that they can physically talk to about the government. Well, I'm glad they at least apologized, but it's like, maybe they should call their Congress person instead of yelling at Erica. Yeah, absolutely. Call your Congress person. Erica says she tries to get people to stay on the phone by helping them understand why the jobs numbers are so important. These numbers feed into town planning or business decisions about relocation and also big decisions at the Central Bank, the Federal Reserve. To remember that the Federal Reserve has two mandates. At the moment, it is really focused on getting price inflation down. But it also has the goal to keep employment high to keep jobs high. And for those jobs numbers, the chair of the Federal Reserve and his colleagues rely on the numbers spoken to people like Erica in a Florida call center. At the moment, the Federal Reserve might keep raising interest rates, which will make people's mortgages or car loans more expensive. And with job numbers solid, the funnel reserve is more likely to keep raising interest rates to fight inflation. But that could change if the labor market deteriorates. I mean, it trickles down to your price of bread milk and eggs. So it does affect you. You just don't see it. And along with explaining why the jobs report matters, Erika also makes sure to build a strong relationship with the people that she calls. I have a couple of respondents that share a birthday. And so I'll make sure I put a note in that they had a birthday or was there some birthday party and ask them how everything went kind of thing. All right, so nice. I've helped some people actually play on vacations to Florida. Really? Because they've asked they've been wanting to visit the area and I'll help them find restaurants that locals like to eat at. So let me get this straight Erica's like an event planner she remembers birthdays and special occasions. She's like a travel agent. There are many jobs wrapped into this one interviewing job. It's an incredible Erica also gets tips about specific industries from people like a hairdresser mother. I'm like, mom, I'm like salons. When should I not call a salon? And I try and take that into account and I take some advice from her that Tuesdays are her busiest day. So then I might not call them on a Tuesday to follow up with them. Erica soft skills are critical for getting hard numbers correct. Several months ago, we had jobs reports that didn't seem so stellar, but they were later edited to be actually quite good at the numbers were revised up. And one reason for those revisions was the bureau of labor statistics finally tracking down those respondents and getting their missing numbers after the deadline for jobs Friday. But to get ahead of the clock, Erica does one other call. This one to a corporate office in California. How many total employees work to receive pay? That would be 506 employees. And I feel like it's about time for me to leave Erica to continue with her work. I still have another 8 more calls left, and I'm here for like another 45 minutes. Erica ended up collecting 298 responses before the deadline. A little less than she'd hoped, but not for a lack of trying. She said there was one day where she squeezed in a massive 115 calls. Well, we at the indicator are always looking out for those jumps and numbers. So thank you for doing the hard work getting those three or 400 calls every single month and getting those numbers out there. Well, thank you. Special thanks to Nicholas Johnson at the bureau of labor statistics who really helped to make this whole episode possible.

But we don't have that presence anymore, but it seems like Carl pay is moving or has already moved into that. So that was just, I mean, that's just basically it. I definitely feel like there's something to this because if I think about the personalities that run today's tech companies, like Jerry said, Tim Cook is who Tim Cook is, but I don't think people necessarily go, oh yeah, I can't generally, I can't wait to hear Tim Cook speak and see what he's going to say. What he's going to unveil, it's more like, I mean, he's there. He's a good speaker. He runs the company well. But he's not like you said he's not necessarily a commanding presence. And he's soft spoken. Right. He's a very different leader than Steve Jobs was. And that's fine. Apple today is very different from the apple of ten years ago. Yeah. And I think Carl pay is a really good thing for the Android side because there hasn't been a personality like that since one plus came around. And I think the excitement or R one plus initially was at least partially driven by what he and the rest of that team did and how they built the company. And I think he's very good at marketing things, right? He's very good at presenting something. And if nothing, that was what Steve Jobs is good at. He was good at being a visionary and presenting his ideas. Even if they weren't revolutionary ideas, even if it was just a new coat of paint on an old idea, it always came across as, oh man, that's Steve Jobs idea, you know? And it almost feels that way with Carl pay as well. It's like, oh, all right, this is interesting. Even if it's not really interesting, because it's coming from him, it's now interesting..

"Those apps are sucking as much data about you as they can. They're often deceptive, they're misleading. And they're horrible. Imagine what that experience would be without any protections in place. That's one thing you do not get if you download an application from outside of Google Play or the App Store if and when side loading is a thing on iOS. To me, those two things are very important. And I want everyone else to be aware of those two things. You know, even if they would prefer to get their application somewhere else, I just like people to be aware, data is I'm not going to say the words data industrial complex because that just tinfoil territory. I'm sorry, Tim Cook. But that's a bit outside of the realm of sanity here. But your data is a huge resource and Google and Amazon and partially Apple and Microsoft all make billions of dollars from your data. Don't think of it as worthless because it's not. Okay, I want to ask you one last question. And this, I think, will tie into our next topic. You said something at the top of your conversation that you had never seen Tim Cook be so, I guess, hyper or not hyper, what's the word I want to use? Just very upset. Animated. Yeah. Why did you feel that? And just in general with respect to how Tim Cook's demeanor is, what are your thoughts on that? Tim Cook normally is a very calm. I am not an iOS user. I have an iPhone here and an Apple watch just because I need to look at them sometimes. But I watch every Apple event because I enjoy watching Tim Cook speak. He's a calming presence. That was not what I saw. He was leaned into the microphone, hand motions, facial expressions, just very untim cook like whatsoever, and it was disturbing to me. He was more like Steve Jobs than he.

Who suggested this on this year and recently So she'll be serving the fictional job as executive producer on the second. Most interesting thing about alex not alice what is that. She has zero post zero followers twenty. She's following twenty eight people. We are one of them. Yeah and her by is the letter a. I think it's where i want to do it on. It is really the right like be here. Be of warrior. Give your good ideas when you need them. But like you're not going to know anything about my life. Don't be indebted to it. That's great job by alex not alice. So we're really excited to do this to start this conversation. I thought i think a lot of people know our job. History like individually you know. So it's we. We're not going to break a lot of new ground there but if we could go in the reserves like what is a job that you've had that sounds fictional but actually you know what i looked. I rode the on all my jobs. That i can remember and i was like me and i've had a lot of jobs i've had fifteen jobs. The fifteen. okay. This is actually the longest job i've ever had and most of it is like cashier and then like administrative right But i realize. And i've had some weird jobs like i literally was a travel teller for a bank and they did not invite him back because i gave away too much money as the bank teller. I also worked as a cake pop baker to help make this possible. But my we're shop. Is i worked at the. Cdc which is why. I'm obsessed with the cdc also pandemic makes you obsess sometimes And my supervisor was dr. Pym leo and she. We were in that hospital infections department. So basically i just had to call hospitals and get their hepatitis. Data like hey how many people staff today. Anything like that. Well i mean sometimes staff mostly hepatitis. That was my assignment which. I didn't know what hepatitis was. I didn't know until naomi. Judd got hepatitis. God had us the deal. But the thing that i had to do with that job. That was weird. Is i had to convince dr panlilio. She did not wanna leave. Ms toss okay and had hung on. She was the last person in the building still on it. And so i had to teach them how to use windows bringing her in a new century. Brilliant epidemiologist and is like. Hey i'm twenty one and let me show you how to use a computer. I think you've got to percents stake in helping this pandemic along just because i think so. Okay what about you. I i was mom was kinda similar. Like i don't have the thing that was my I figured all the jobs. I've had sound like fake jobs. Like they don't sound like real jobs right like they sound like if you play. Like millennial workforce bingo. All of them would be like winners. You know because it's like christian screenwriter pregnant. Kim kardashian be reporter at t-shirt printer. Tv recap podcast are not real things that people do for money for. You've come look at the fictional job i did. I one of the ones that does it. It doesn't sound super fake. But i don't think i've talked about is. I was a runner up for cbs nfl correspondent. In two thousand nine white talking about was Through bleacher report. I was w- my son was just born and we're gonna move to nashville as an a cover the titans for cps early and because they did this big competition And i was. I was the runner up because there was a big Sports me off and there was a guy he was like. I'll do it for that money. But i have experience so you can cut that guy lose so they sent me a check for like two thousand dollars to be like sorry about that. We need to let you do that. Well that's pretty impressive. Instead of that. I started a blog and i started. Recapping the weird that moment you know about broken roads or beautiful or some high tides and boats and ships so we have a sordid history With jobs but i think that's a that's a great lengths to look at this episode today because jobs and pop culture is super interesting and super fascinating because more thought about it. The martha we get into very specific kind of categories and professions when thinking of books movies or tv shows to me the most common job. And i really did kind of look at. What are the most popular shows of all time. I kind of wrote down there settings and it realized that it's really three jobs right. It's cop doctor lawyer. That's right right and that's why they wanna be any of those three things. Okay because i found that cops do not seeing no nor do they solve every crime and most of the time. they're spending. They have to spend doing paperwork. And then sometimes you don't get to be a cool cop. You don't get to be like the detective who just shows up and like even. Csi you don't get to just work work one case at a time working like thirty five cases at a time. And you're like. I don't know about dna what's your problem. Are you decided to lift your computer. I am yeah. That was seamless. Man i was doing it. It was hurt my neck a little bit. And i think you're not even talking about the fact that gil on csi i don't even know he's still there he doesn't back he's coming back left. Oh yeah know left because he was like this is too much stress and now he's like oh i didn't make any money. How do a man. Yes i because. I had like you know when you think about jobs in pop culture. They're very you think it'd be a lot more nuance but i feel like it's not that nuance because you've got either super noble jobs or like ignoble jobs and the noble jobs are the ones that you talked about its military. Police antiques fire. Dr teachers chicago all in chicago. All in some kind of combination and a crossover event. And i think you know I don't know to what extent this is a thing of the moment. Because of i i feel like it's it would be hard to Disentangle nine eleven's influence on that you know for liberation and the romances ation of of those jobs. But i think there's also interesting to be like the the heroic connotations those jobs eh correlates amherst. They actually pay you know versus like the entertainment value. They give us. It's very interesting. Well also those jobs very much. Lynn themselves to your procedural element which is the kind of shows that make the most money particularly for networks so you can have hawaii five o also sat in akron. Ohio illogically like. Oh yeah because you're going to meet different people every single day this makes for great storytelling not really but it does. All end up wrapped up in forty would love hawaii five o in akron though like little fuel. That's that's on aboard board whiteboard somewhere so ignoble jobs that i have in these are whatever characters who had this job or just this job. In in general. I felt like they tend to be villain or sketchy characters Tell me if you disagree with any of these lawyers. Yes finance bros. School principals used car salesman dentists. Dentists get a bad rap. Why dentists get such a bad rap is a i like fictional dentist. You can think of type your head Because i think of jennifer aniston in horrible bosses and that is not the situation. I wanna make their into actually think the bachelorette okay like she was a dentist. She was like like jamie left her and there seems to be so teeth or no. she's sorry knoxville's from bottom is too so you know. Here's what i thought growing up about jobs because i like that ignoble noble. What does this one fall into. Because i thought the best job you could possibly have was architect Because mike brady was architects and he had he was architects. And i just think people are architects because of the drafting table. Because we're like look at tom. Heinsohn slips in seattle. He looks so professional with this corner view. Which i don't think it's most architect. No but also like mike brady had six kids in a mate like that seems really fancy and also art van delay his his. He said there's nothing higher than an architect. Look you're not wrong. And i remember watching carolina in the city. She had architect drafting table but she was a cartoonist. Like either way. I'll do either of those that think about liam niessen and love actually. We're like oh alabama the support or in kid and look at him. He's an architect or kiana reason the.

"Happy labor day. Everyone and of course labor day falling on the monday after the jobs report is a good thing because it gives us an opportunity to spend time with the chief economist at syndrome budget and policy priorities and our regular correspondent every month when a jobs report comes out. Talk about the jobs numbers We have a bit of news but should not really be a surprise to anyone. We've been kind of forecasting. This is the direction this may go. Sonam budget dot org chadd. Stone joins us once again chad. How are you buddy. We'll mark how are you. i'm okay. I'm okay so Big dip in august numbers but we can probably attribute that to delta. Can't we i think that's right. So so the jumps never in at two hundred. Thirty five thousand jobs Government in and and private payroll. That was was well below expectations but expectations. It's it's always hard to guess the future or what or what's going to be the report on the previous months But this was particularly stunning. However it's not a surprise necessarily because we've seen. We saw month like this before earlier in the year when it was much below expectations and then just last month. We had what turns out with revisions. A million jobs created so there are fluctuations and on average. We've had five hundred eighty six thousand dollars. Five hundred and eighty six thousand jobs. A month created so far this year. Which is a pretty decent pace so the jobs recovery is going along but as as the earlier strains of the virus through a monkey wrench in job creation caused us to have a major recession initially and then it slowed us down Late last year that the the delta and delta the delta variant in howard dealing with it or not dealing with it depending on where you live is is a major creates. Major uncertainty for people creates major uncertainty about going back to school their health and safety concerns and so uncertainty as as certainly had an effect Not sure that it's going to. I think this is a low. I don't think we'll see another low like this for a while. I think we'll get back closer to the to the five hundred thousand or maybe more but it's a reminder that what we should've remembered all along is that recovery's happened in fits and starts especially this one because of all the other variables and all the uncertainties so It's it's a hit. It's a hit to expectations. And it's a hit and you know coming after a very large jobs report. It feels very disappointing but ex. I expect we'll we'll bounce back some and maybe maybe even more depends how things go with the virus. Well you're right. I mean all of us. We've been doing this together. We know we've talked about a lot of different things at jobs. Declined job growth. But this is. This is a historic. I. we are dealing with a variable that is just so unpredictable so i mean that's clear. So but i had to ask you this because we always go here to this is this is just august. We know you'll about school closings. And how that impacted jobs in the state and local level what did state and local jobs due in august because that's the key months at schools are beginning to reopen. Did they dip as well. Most schools reopening We should have expected it to go up But but that the a normal going up in the at the end of the summer is taken into account in the data in normal years with what's called seasonal adjustment which means that that you anticipate how much is just normal. Cyclical and what you're measuring with seasonally adjusted data. Is that the increase or decrease below what you expect based on seasonal factors and But seasonal factors and and the way schools have been opening and closing in in the pandemic Is is out of whack. And so there's an fact here quote from the bureau of labor statistics Jobs report recent. Employment changes are challenging to interpret normal. Seasonal hiring problems have been distorted by the pandemic and so when when when the people do the calculation. Say the results are difficult to interpret. What are we to do right. But but but There was there were. There was not not much of a gain. And unless the again i guess then was expected in a little bit between state and local education in particular and what s significant chad. Because i think people were were looking to more But i think the other terribleness. I think we have to keep in mind. And and this is probably some analysis is going gonna take some time to call you have delta varian that is affecting in several ways including and we look at st mobile education in we just Which randi weingarten of the american federation of teachers as employers are mandating masks and vaccinations. That's also gonna affect whether people are going to go back to work in some people making different types of choices so when some school districts. She was in florida today and so. There's a fight in florida. governor says. Don't wear masks. And so some teachable. Women i'm not going back to work and it's some defying in wearing masks. So it's an interesting thing is it's it's this. Ultimately over time is going to boil down to boil down to a question on at all levels of employment about what employers are gonna require and to what extent employees want to comply and in those who don't whether or not they'll be able to To keep their job. So i mean that's a whole nother variable in this long-term yes and that's exactly right and is that there's actually three three different There's there's state employment and that in education state employment is a lot state colleges and universities. There was there's local which we know about and then there's private education and a lot of that is Is a private universities. Private colleges but also training training schools and things like that and those were up Some and that's possibly possibly because more private universities requiring masking and so forth and our an been close for for a year many cases in a reopened. Now some of them already. I i bleed if you read. The news are are already running into two outbreaks. That in dormitory. I guess they can control it in classrooms but not so well dormitories.

"All of these issues that we started to realize you know if the employees aren't engaged or effective than the work product or whatever it is going to suffer and the environment has an impact on that by the way it wasn't that long ago that we had to convince people that the work place did have an impact on the individuals in it and can it could influence that and so this whole notion of culture and human center design and Really focusing on the human experience the employee experience and humanity really is not that old. And i don't wanna say that before we didn't care about that but that wasn't necessarily the focus and so now the focus has shifted significantly towards that end and i would almost say in the latest. You know post pandemic or in the stage of the pandemic. We're not really post. It's it's gone into hyper drive. And i think people are taking it to an extreme to some degree. And i get a lot of grief for saying that but quite frankly doug i mean right now. Employees are very empowered and we as an industry has some really dumb questions. We asked people what they wanted. We didn't ask whether it was right for the business or whether it helped. Secure the culture. It was a better thing we asked what people wanted and they told us. And i think what we are seeing. Is this gap between what the c. Suite is trying to do. And what the workforce is saying they want and everybody's putting the onus on the c. suite saying you're out of touch well pushed back on that a little bit and say that the c. suite is worried about the resistance and the resiliency and the durability of the company and by the way if the company isn't succeeding and isn't thriving. Then nobody's going to be successful. So let's just take apple. For example they have never really encouraged people working remotely. Steve jobs was one of the biggest proponents of people being in a room together. That agile methodology people kind of becoming in sync with each other so much so he built one of the most expensive buildings on the planet to support and enable that in thrive and build that culture and that work style and that innovation that fail fast mentality and now there's this massive or for talent a lot of tech companies. You're saying you can work remotely forever. Which by the way. I i'm going to call bs on. Because i think it goes exactly against their entire culture and how they innovate rapidly etc. But they've done it and so now they all have to kind of say what people wanna hear an apple came out and said we want to come back. We're going to be some flexibility. We've never really done before. We're going to give you some flexibility. But that wasn't good enough for a lot of people they push back even further and i are. We saying steve jobs was wrong. That people can innovate just as fast being scattered to the and we don't have to..

Thank you so much for that jerry. Let me jump into the questions. The first question. I'm an associate with. I was promised the opportunity equity it has been just over three years and i'm no closer to equity than when i started any advice. Yeah wow what a very candid question. And i suspect that there are many of our listeners that that might apply to our or in the future might bump into a situation. One of the things i teach sales. Most of you know. They're teach on mondays at northwestern university school dental medicine in glendale or on. It's one of my ways to get back to our amazing profession. And i teach practice management and the people side of dentistry. Humanistic signed dentistry. One things. I teach my dental students. Is that if they find themselves in a a career path. That isn't getting bit where they need to go. It's perfectly okay to pivot pivot. You're not a tree move. I like that. I mean if you're a tree you're kind of stuck you're not tree move so if you find yourself you know i'm struck elite name out of it but Recently i received an email from a young dentist from texas. And he said gary melissa your podcast and thank you for providing this resource for us. I was compelled to reach out to you. I'll tell you my story he said Join this practice about five years ago and there was overtures of opportunity for equity becoming a partner in this practice. It's a multi doctor practice and there was some promises made about the opportunity to have equity and to become a partner in this practice and he said it's five years later i'm no closer to that. Now what. Should i do so very much like the question that came up in our listener here and so what i would say first of all is. Let's not make any assumptions I go to the owner and and have a crucial conversation with the owner. Because it may be that there's some maybe they're thinking well maybe you don't want it. You brought it up. Who knows so first of all had that conversation with the owner And be prepared for that. Read the book crucial conversations before you had that conversation because you'll be more effective at it. We're doing that. Book is part of our book club for my coaching clients and I've read many times. But i've reread it now in preparation for book club and i'm reminded of just how valuable the information in the book..

I mean outside of my father. I felt like steve jobs had the most influence in my life. I read every book he ever touched. Every speech he ever gave watched watched it on youtube and of course read multiple books about him so he influenced me even though i've never met the guy Of course he has a pretty rough reputation as out again. You know demanding and so forth. But i felt he did some unbelievable things in the world. We live in so in my book. He is amazing. he's a genius. So i'm so glad you picked this topic lessons from steve. Jobs applied to dentistry. Let's jump in near one of the things that i like to do is look outside of our proficient for inspiration and it. We can often look at what other people are doing. What other industries are doing what other professions are doing and then bring it back and adapted to dentistry. And that's certainly the case with this topic for this podcast and we've got some resources we're gonna share with our lister that i want to strongly encourage you to access these resources. A in two thousand and five. Steve jobs was invited to give the commencement address at stanford university stanford university and we have a copy of that That we're to post in the show notes It's on youtube Able to distribute that And it's actually the video of his commencement address in in two thousand and five. If you haven't seen that. I'm going to tell you that now. Let me disclaim this right from the get. I am an apple fan boy there. It is disclosed. I am an apple fan board. And while i do understand that there are certainly elements of steve jobs. Personality that were. Let's just say less savory and controversial. I also have appreciation for his accomplishments. And i happen to believe that this commencement address made the two thousand five graduating class of stanford. University is the best commencement address in.

"You for so you for. It's all people who are unemployed and then you add discouraged workers discouraged workers. This would be the line cook who wants a job but hasn't actually looked for work. In the last couple of months you three would not count the line cook because she hasn't actively been applying for jobs but nick points out last year. A lot of cities were in lockdown restaurants. Were closed so it made sense not to be applying for jobs at times. So nick thought u-3 got it wrong and r line cook absolutely needs to be counted among the ranks of the unemployed. Still nick did not think that you fall went far enough five so he was also looking at you. Five which counts all the youthful workers plus all the other people who are considered marginally attached to labor force. Marginally attached that is all the people who want a job but haven't been looking recently for some reason. Unlike you four you. Five would include like an out of work lawyer who wanted to go back to work but wasn't applying for jobs because daycare closed down and he's having to watch his kids. Finally the big finish. You'll fix so you six. You take you five but then you add everyone who is working part time for economic reasons. Think of the barista who's working twenty hours a week but really wants to be working forty hours a week. The guy says sorry. We can't afford to give you those extra shifts. A lot of economists said you need to count that bursts the to under employed workers and you six got really high. The unemployment rate hit twenty percent last year. So what number are you paying the most attention to right now so actually none of them ali. Yeah nixes u-3 needs to count way more people but also we fewer people. Nick says u-3 should be counting the line. Cook who wasn't applying for jobs during lockdown. And the lawyer who's dealing with child care. But also nick says three should not have counted workers who are on furlough or temporary leave from their jobs. This'll be like a flight attendant. Whose job was on pause. Millions of workers put on temporary leave last year. The us concert al flight attendant as unemployed. But nick says that flight attendant wasn't really unemployed in the traditional sense there's sort of limited space between unemployment employment. I think metrics that. Don't count for that kind of gave you a head fake. During especially the early days of the pandemic i had faked meaning when you factored in all of the people who were temporarily unemployed and added them to all of the other unemployed people in the us. The numbers looked crazy like greet depression territory. Numbers and nick says. The last year was economically devastating for the country and for millions of people but he didn't think the numbers we were seeing. Were telling the whole truth so to get a sense of what was actually going on with unemployment. Nick started looking at a different metric. Kind of you blend so you three plus four that discouraged line cook and the five lawyer watching his kids. But then minus the flight attendant on furlough. Nick says he thought this you blend paints the most accurate picture for the crazy time. We've been going through so i asked him. what story. is you blend telling us yet. So i think the labor market actually is in a pretty good place right now. Oh my gosh. I was not expecting that. Like that's like so nice like that's sort of stop is right here. Just enjoy this moment for a second. You know economics isn't always a dismal science. So here's knicks. You blend case for optimism in the darkest days of the labor market last year. That you three four and you five unemployment rates all topped thirteen percent the worst unemployment rates since the great depression. That number told a tale of an economy. In terrible terrible crisis. You blend the totem much less terrifying tale. It peaked at just over six percent. That's a high number but it's nowhere near the great depression or even the great recession in two thousand and eight and nick says of course a lot of people who were on temporary layoff did end up losing their jobs permanently but also most of the people who are temporarily laid off did get their jobs back. Most of those jobs really were on pause. Nick says that you blend hasn't had the big dramatic swings of the other us. It's dropped from a high of six point. Three percent to five point eight percent. And that's what it was in june five point eight percent it did not change from may and the fact that knicks you blend is now so close to the youth three number that we hear every month that five point nine percent. That's probably a sign that most of the furloughed workers are now back at work and aren't being counted as unemployed anymore. So that's definitely not an air horn moment anytime a number that you want to see you. Go down flat lines. That's not great. It's not horrifying so terrible but it's not the sort of really great news where you're hoping for nick points out that there are still nine point five million jobs that would exist right now if the pandemic hadn't happened and it will probably take two or three years for the economy to create those jobs nixes. He is waiting for that and also for the moment win. The universe of unemployment numbers will once again be something that is only interesting to other labor economists. That's the kind of universe. I wanna live in. Stacey today's episode was produced by britney cronin with help Moon it was fact. Checked by michael. Taking ten is editor. The are happy jobs dry day..

"This is the indicator from planet money. I'm stacey van smith daria moods and it is john's friday the. Us economy added eight hundred and fifty thousand jobs in june. That is a lot of jobs in just four weeks. Does this mean could we. Should we bring out the erhan with. Here's where things get weird. During the unemployment rate win up from five point eight percent in may to five point nine percent in june which is strange right like how can the economy at eight hundred fifty thousand new jobs and then the unemployment rate goes up as to this. Well you know. I did with this question to an actual expert lieber economist nick bunker at the indeed hiring lab and he says part of the issue is that this data the number of jobs added and the unemployment rate comes from different places but he also added that he thinks the unemployment rate that. We're looking at that. Five point nine percent number. That is not the number we should be paying attention to. He thinks we're looking at the wrong number darrien so today on the show. Forget everything you thought you knew about. The unemployment numbers unemployment to boola russell. Jobs will never be the same. This message comes from. Npr sponsor capital one capital. One auto navigator can help you find a car get prequalified instantly and see your real monthly payment without impacting your credit score capital one. What's in your wallet. Terms and conditions apply more at capital. One dot com slash auto navigator. So the first thing you have to know that unemployment number that we hear every month. That's not the whole truth there. Six unemployment numbers at the bureau of labor statistics puts out every month. You one all the way through to us. Six stands for unemployment and normally like different kinds of unemployment numbers. This is the kind of thing that is interesting to like labor. Economists like nick but right now it is crucial. So with that in mind. Darrien led us wade in to the wildly technical world of unemployment numbers the universe if you will level one you one so you. One is for people who have been unemployed for at least fifteen weeks or longer. Okay you one. This'll be like a recent college grad who has been applying to jobs actively for four months. Hasn't gotten a bite to you too. So that brings us to you to which means no waiting fifteen weeks to be counted and youtube. But you have to have lost your job or had your job end so the graduate probably wouldn't count but youtube would con somebody like an ice cream truck driver in new york. Somebody whose job goes away when the summer ends level. Free free yes you. Three is the unemployment that we all know in love. U-3 three the big cahoon app. This is the number we hear every month. This was the five point. Nine percent youth recounts she was unemployed if you are actively looking for work and are ready to start right away so this is the recent college graduate plus the ice cream woman. Nick says you three is very clean. Very simple not a lot of room for ambiguity. That's why people like it. That's why everyone looks at it. If you want to censor what the hell way market looks like you. Basically say okay of everyone who was actively looking for a job. What percent of them don't have a job at what one right now and. that's what you three. That old trust unemployment rate is trying to get at. But nick says youth three is not a good measure of what's happening in the labor market right now. He has his eyes on the greater. Use.

"It seems like maybe starting to balance out a little bit faster than everybody thought. I also did have one guy who is like the fed needs to start raising interest rates right now and i am not fed nowhere at all but i definitely had a moment of i'd if the answer is making sawmills more afraid to invest like after years of not investing right like these things very semiconductors or whatever it takes capital and it takes time to build factories and to really ramp up production on things and i think sometimes you know when you're just on the consumer and you don't think about the entire back end that is happening in the pandemic certainly even with like chicken wings. Whatever the heck is going on there. It's like wait a minute like i. Just don't think about those things in my day to day. I just go to the restaurant and they show up at my table about chicken wing prices. All good. I do think it's always interesting to look at in. This stuff is like it's harder to look up. Then then prices but is like actual quantities ride. So i so. I checked yesterday about chicken wings and last month we did have an eight year-on-year increase in broiler. Chicken eggs hatched and so it takes at six to seven weeks for a broiler chicken to grow up Than they it. And then i guess there's some additional time in the dismembering and transshipment of the wings but suffice it to say like it does seem like like markets do work like in the sense just not not as instantaneously as one might like that like the whole chicken thing is a biological process on some level and so to respond to the higher prices by trying to get more eggs than the ed's hatch the chickens eat to grab and like chickens are fast compared to sawmills or other things. We're watching that unfold right and it's I don't know it just like things in the real world can't move with the speed of financial markets. Right we're like the price of oil can just like go up or down by insane amounts on a given day but like drilling for oil psych. Somebody's got to go there yet. To set up the equipment like it just it it takes it takes time in the sort of friction full world of reality and we're kind of like were just like living through those frictions right. I mean can. I ask a super stupid. I don't really know things about basic economics question. Just like is a capital p. problem lake. I think that there are some argument. You know in in some cases like lumber yes obviously like is very important and as we've discussed a few weeks ago to the extent that there's a housing crunch across the board. It is going to have obvious consequences for the people who are in danger of losing homes or can't find homes but you know some stuff like chicken wings. I can understand a fairly philosophical argument that like. It's actually not the worst thing to be less alien needed from the production process right that like it might not be terrible for people to think a little bit that. Like don't just materialize. They are actually. There is an agriculture industry has been designed to produce a lot of chickens very quickly at the expense of some other things like animal and human welfare and you know that i think that there are some commodities for which obviously this kind of friction is going to have real consequences people's lives but i would wanna know what's the argument that the instance of friction is itself going to be a problem for the actual human beings who are part of the economy. Well i mean you know not to make everything about things right. But it's like we would like to see unemployed workers getting jobs not because they're being coerced by the threat of party but because employers are raising pay. But it's harder to raise pay to recruit staff when at the same time. Your food costs are going up right. you know. So it's like if you can keep the hard costs. Low and demand robust then the extra revenue like flows back to human beings as sort of commodity extractions. Now it depends right. So it's like if a boom in lumber prices ultimately leads to like people getting jobs sawmills like that's probably good like you know like manufacturing employment has a lot of like attractive properties compared to service sector work things like that but if it just creates a windfall right like the car situation has just like arbitrarily generated large sums of money to people who happen to own cars that they weren't particularly using all that much and then like they could go sell them and you know it's like good for you right. It would actually be better to like have the travel economy up and running and creating opportunities for for people to to do things. I think but i don't know yours emily's more philosophical. Let me. I will say like specific to at least the lumber shortage like the sense i got was that the the wealth was really not being shared so like to give very basic london. Timber are two different. Things timber the log in the forest and and the timber. People are not making money right. And there's a bunch of different reasons for that. In canada there is a beetle in oregon. There is some conservation issues in the south. There's just too much timber. But like the thing that i heard a lot. Was you know people were about building up their saw mills or whatever because again. You don't know if this goes away but that this really was not like trickling down to the canadian lager famous on tiktok. You know what i mean. But how about the lumber trader twitter guy the lumber trader twitter guys just like enjoying his twitter fame to be honest. I'm sure he's making a ton of he's thinking money whether or not it goes up for that so i see him all the time now. Best friend that's what i'm saying. We've got a whole new levels of social media fame. I mean there's so many memes. It's i have my new tiktok lumber trader or not no longer guy i guess you know tiktok lets me know every time. He doesn't new video but they do think like more. You know seriously like we do want businesses. We said before be able to plan and so much as this stuff is like a problem. It's like even if i'm selling chicken wings. I just want to know how much the chicken wings are going to cost me month to month because it's really hard to plan for the next six months or year. Same thing with like a rental car. You know it's just like i think. We want businesses as much as we want people to be able to like plan their lives and their expenses. And so that's where this stuff at least in my mind sort of plays out. I mean. I think that's right. I mean a by sort of like second order concern about all of this is that i don't want macro policymakers to like lose patience with everything by september october and say like oh we've had all this inflation like it's time to go because you know let's say like we're reasonably optimistic right. I mean five hundred thousand jobs like we had last month fight. That's not terrible and you have five hundred thousand more jobs. You know may june july august so okay. You're you're chunking along but then you know half the country already lost their unemployment insurance and the other half coming in the fall and those people are going to need to get jobs. And so even if accelerates at that point like it won't be instantaneous and like we're going to need the fed and they say they're gonna do this but like we're going to need the fed to stay the course not just like until september but for several months past september right because at that point even if you started getting million job months You might need six right and you need to work out. The supply chain kinks the biden administration. I think you know wants to get some other stuff done legislatively and just like i of i hope it all works out in the end but it makes me. It makes me a little bit nervous that we're going to see a kind of collapse of morale or a failure of nerve rather than get to what i would call sustainable full employment And to bring in a subject of of darah interest right. Once upon a time. I think in the misty months of two thousand seven. There was an idea that in a low unemployment economy the business constituency for immigration reform would be a real fake because beyond kicking people off their employment insurance like an actual way to increase labor. Supply is to let the many many people around the world who would love to come to the united states and you know build your house or bus tables restaurant like actually go do that right but you can't i. I think it's hard to make that argument when there's like a buffer stock of eight million unemployed americans but hopefully like those people will be getting jobs yet. I mean the kind of fundamental truth of this is that unlike the countries that you know some pro-business republicans have pointed to as having like the right kind of immigration system like canada..

"This is going to crush the economy. Were giving too much money to the unemployed. But i think people looked at it and say you know that didn't happen right. The job search intensity fell but like the number of job. Openings fell so much that it didn't matter like every job that an employer wanted somebody was willing to take for for whatever reason so we took that mentality forward into the rescue plan and if we had stalled out the pace of vaccinations at where was a in january. I we'd be really glad that we had that. Bonus unemployment insurance place because job openings would still be anemic. This would be the only way for people to survive But we achieve like the big acceleration in vaccinations state mean dc new york. They've lifted a lot of almost all the restrictions. on activity. People are going back to restaurants. People are trying to hire and at this point like it does matter. The the incentive impact matters and not. I wanna put this the right way because sometimes it can sound like you're saying oh you know people are living the high life on unemployment insurance and and that's terrible The issue isn't that the benefits are so generous. Is that you lose benefits if you take a job right. I mean that's a weird way to structure a program right like we have different phase outs and things like that. But like the way medicaid worked. Was that if you earn one dollar of income you lose all your medicaid benefits like that would be shitty like. That's not a good way actually to help people. If you are expecting to have an economy that grows and we're job opportunities exist the pandemic you. I came out of like a pandemic in which job. Opportunities burnt existing. Now they are at. But i mean this whole issue is going to go away but really soon. Well it's gonna go away for some people at the end of this week. And some people i into more and like right and i do think like i mean. I think it's hard tilly. Republican governors are doing to be fair. I don't agree with it. I think especially getting rid of some of the the the unemployment insurance for gig workers that that just goes away entirely right. There is nothing like at the end of four days in some states. But i do think like people it was going to be here through september and like whatever you think of that how we talk all the time about how wall street doesn't like uncertainty and you just need big business to like know the rules of the road. So why don't we have those same rules for average people like i do think we can sit back and be like it was too much but you know last week or the week before i did a bunch of reporting talking to people and unemployment insurance specifically in texas who are about to lose their jobs and like what i wasn't hearing from people it's like. Oh yeah i'm just hanging out at home and obviously it's a small sample size but you talk to people. I talked to one woman who lost her job as an office worker. She was in her fifties. She was like i've sent out one hundred. Two hundred resumes. nobody respond. because i'm in my fifties and i'm older. And so. I think sometimes like we have sort of assumed that there's going to be this endless pool of low wage workers right and maybe like people have had a year to think like actually my restaurant jobs sucked or actually i still need to pay my mortgage and my mortgage is not gone if i take a job making ten dollars an hour when i used to make sixty thousand dollars a year. I think it's a little bit tricky and it's it's easy to sit like i can sit at home and be like that's maybe too much for you but i also didn't lose my job in the pandemic. I do think it's really worth diving into this. I mean certainly on be kind of the the flip side the kind of the green shoots side of the question right because there is this kind of developing discourse where on the one hand there are lots of trend stories about like businesses either having trouble hiring or succeeding hiring because they re raised wages and on the on the flip side. The kind of workers that. You're talking about emily who are saying you know. I've really reconsidered whether the job that i had before. The pandemic is something that is actually going to be long term sustainable for me as a human being and that's created a certain amount of econ one. Oh one splitting among. I think some like online commentators where it's you know. The assumption is that if employers would only pay enough. Then there wouldn't be any kind of mismatch between you know the openings that are coming up and the people who you know who who aren't willing to take those jobs but i think it's worth thinking about the uncertainty on both sides right. There is on the one hand the fact that people were given assurances about. How long they're you. I would last which in or which seems like. That's a good starting point for okay. I have x. amount of time to reconsider. What kind of job. I want on the other side of this and not take the first thing that's offered to me. If i'm worried it's going to be abusive or going to be hazardous to my health But on the other hand there does appear to be a lot of uncertainty among employers especially small businesses. Not just about you know what they can afford to pay right now but about how long the current situation is going to last right like it doesn't seem like anyone's super confident that what we have now is a return to the roaring economy of like twenty seventeen twenty eighteen rather than a pent-up rush of demand because there were a lot of things that people couldn't do for fifteen months that they can do now and that i think shapes a lot of assessments about like can you afford to start paying really competitive wages for restaurant work. Maybe you can now. But maybe you can't six months from now and you don't want to put your employees in a situation where because you recruited them by paying 'em competitive wages in june you have to shut down the whole business in september and everybody's out of work again. I guess i always want to separate out to different aspects of this right. You know you read these stories and people are like. Oh my god nobody will take my job for twelve dollars an hour and it's like okay you know like fuck you man and if if eighteen months from now we're reading stories that are saying oh the quits rate is at an all time high and small business owners are crying about how they can't fill vacancy is. I'm gonna be up cheering and pumping my fist. Like i have been toiling in the trenches of full employment is important for over a now and you know that that is the dream that we have been trying to create. Something i say is right. Before the pandemic there was a wave of stories about how in my neighborhood a lot of restaurants were closing because rents were going. And that's the kind of thing we're familiar with that happening in the gentrification cycle and you can make a sad if we happen to like that restaurant but it's like it's what happens right and the dream is a world in which people go out of business because all of their employees walked off the job because they could go get a job someplace else. That's not just a nice story for workers like it's a story for the economy means that high. Productivity employers are winning low productivity entrepreneurs are losing that we are advancing like human Better over time. What makes me not pump. My fist about the current situation is it. There's billions of unemployed people right now right leg. It's not actually a full employment economy. It's a kind of weird bottleneck. And i hope that like restaurant workers who are not jumping at the opportunity to get the wages that are carving offer because i want to reconsider their options in life like i. I hope that they succeed. But my concern is that after two or three more months of this. We arrived in september. And it's just like the bottom falls out right and like we just had this big kinda weird hiccup and it would be better at more humane than what. The republican governors are doing. Is that would be just tell people like let them keep their extra checks even if they go get a job like just say like. You're going to get this check through september but like go do whatever so that the more pessimistic at least the unemployed former restaurant workers will just go say yes to the jobs that are offer and then we can sort of see where we stand because some of these better jobs right..

"Happened because you've got people staying in smaller towns in spending money in small towns. I wanna talk about the other two economies before we go the automated economy. That's something we've talked a lot about in the last few months that the pandemic has accelerated automation artificial intelligence. And that's gonna just continue. You don't see you putting that genie back in the bottle but that means a lot of people in jobs that are task driven. One sows task are being replaced by automation. Those jobs go away. But i always want to be positive about it and say this has happened before and what happens is new kinds of jobs are created. What are you seeing in that area. It's very understandable. Why the automated economy is taking it through the pandemic when employers are forced to let people go they tend to be fairly reticent about bringing them back you know it's a time of economic uncertainty in the like and so in a lot of cases were already seen acceleration of automation driven replacement of jobs. Workers were already at risk already in the balance as you said. It's we've seen it coming. We're not going to put the genie back in the bottle. The automated economy encompasses a range of sectors. First of all we see actually launched of application of ai and robotics in healthcare a lot of focus on financial investment and also of course a lot of focus on machine learning and natural language processing. Things like computer vision in autonomous driving. Of course then. Just broadly robotics in in process automation. Some of those robotics we think ultimately could could drive over a million job one point three million jobs machine learning jobs. We think there'll be about two point. Seven million jobs created in that sector. These are very well paying jobs and very fast growing jobs. Here's the thing the question you asked him a few minutes ago is really smart one. Which is he looked. We've had a lot of displacement. We clearly are going to see a lot of job. Creation up to eighteen million jobs across these five sectors over the next five years which may be more than enough to provide opportunity for everyone who's displaced. Here's the challenge. Though we know that the claims of jobs where people are displaced and the kinds of jobs that are being created. There's not necessarily a direct path from one to the other take for example the green economy decarbonization as we move away from carbon based economies of the oil and petrochemicals manufacturing business cole and others to green technologies. There may at a numbers basis. Almost be a one to one transition. Not sure about that is a question of skills in this question of geography geography of carbon based jobs and the geography of green bay. Jobs isn't necessarily the same.
