TWE 23 | Less Job Growth, But More GDP Growth? GOP Debate Thoughts

Thank you for listening to the 23rd episode of "This Week's Economy," where I briefly recap and share my insights on key economic and policy news at the national and state levels. Today, I cover: 1) National: Declining Dow Jones, depreciating dollar, the Jackson Hole conference, Fed's balance sheet, slow job growth, strong GDP growth, and why I believe we've been in a recession; 2) Louisiana: The Pelican State's latest job market report, why employment is down, and what Louisiana can do to make a strong comeback; and 3) Other: My thoughts on the most recent GOP debate, my hopes for future debates, and more.
