Podcast: Marketplace All-in-OnePublished On: Mon Mar 09 2026
Description: Economists are still digesting last Friday's jobs report, which showed a loss of 92,000 jobs in February. The labor force participation rate — the percentage of working-age people who are either working or looking for work — fell to 62%.
