Minneapolis Job Market Update: Diversified Growth, Remote Shift, and Policy Changes
Minneapolis currently offers a relatively strong but cooling job market, with solid employment levels, modest job growth, and slightly rising labor-market friction. According to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro has an unemployment rate hovering around 3 to 3.5 percent, consistently below the national average, though precise December metro figures lag by several weeks and may understate recent softening. Minnesota DEED and recent state workforce board materials report that statewide job counts surpassed pre‑pandemic levels in 2025, with over 3 million jobs and job growth running faster than the U.S. overall, even as national job gain...

Philly's Cautious Hiring Landscape: Services Resilience, Retail Woes, and Government Opportunities
Philadelphia's job market remains soft amid national hiring slowdowns, with the Philadelphia Fed survey showing consistent strength in services employment while overall U.S. manufacturing employment dipped to 48.1 on the ISM index in January 2026, per Trading Economics data. The employment landscape features stable but fragile growth, pressured by multiple WARN-noticed closures like Amazon Fresh affecting 205 workers at 555 Spring Garden Street and others totaling over 1,000 layoffs in the city through early 2026, according to Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry reports. Unemployment data for January 2026 is unavailable due to a federal government shutdown delaying the BLS release originally set for February 6, creating...
NYC Job Market Cooling Amid National Slowdown, Healthcare Hiring Slows But Tech and AI Roles Emerge
New York City's job market in early 2026 shows signs of cooling amid national slowdowns, with slower hiring and rising worker anxieties, though essential sectors like health care provide some stability. The employment landscape reflects a national unemployment rate of 4.4 percent in December 2025 per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics as reported by Anadolu Agency, while New York-specific data lags with the latest state figures from the New Jersey Department of Labor indicating nearby trends of modest gains. Key statistics highlight national nonfarm payrolls adding just 50,000 jobs in December 2025, down from stronger prior years, with total 2025 growth at 584,000 jobs according...
When Dull is Desirable
<p>Talking Real Money opens with a stark illustration of why Bitcoin fails as a usable currency, showing how volatility can destroy real-life budgets overnight. Don and Tom compare crypto to historic speculative bubbles, argue that stability—not hype—is the core function of money, and dismantle the “store of value” narrative. The show then shifts to practical listener calls covering CD ladders, Treasury yields, retirement readiness, estate planning, and early-retirement balance. Throughout, they emphasize boring, diversified, evidence-based investing over speculation, reminding listeners that long-term financial security comes from discipline, planning, and emotional restraint—not chasing the next hot trend.</p> <p>0:04...

Minneapolis Navigates Uncertain Job Market: Immigration Raids, Tariffs, and AI Reshape the Economy
Minneapolis features a resilient job market amid national uncertainties, with strong employment in healthcare, finance, professional services, tech, and manufacturing, though recent federal immigration enforcement has disrupted small businesses and immigrant-led sectors. According to the Minnesota Star Tribune, state economic official Matt Varilek expressed deep concern over rising unemployment and low consumer confidence, the lowest since 2014, due to ICE actions causing sales drops of 60 to 70 percent in affected areas and deterring business expansion. The U.S. Labor Department reports national initial jobless claims at 209,000 for the week ended January 24, 2026, with the unemployment rate steady around 4.4 percent in December 2025, but local...

NYC Job Market Slowdown: Opportunities Amid Evolving Trends
New York City's job market reflects a national slowdown, with employment growth stalling amid productivity gains and selective hiring. The Conference Board Employment Trends Index fell to 104.27 in December 2025, signaling weaker payroll gains ahead as job openings hit lows not seen since 2020 and consumers increasingly report jobs as hard to get. Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows U.S. unemployment at 4.4 percent in December, down slightly from 4.5 percent, but with only 50,000 jobs added monthly on average for 2025, the weakest since early pandemic recovery. New York mirrors this, with narrow job creation concentrated in services while manufacturing shed 70,000 roles since mid-2025.<...

Podcast Episode Title: Minneapolis Job Market Weathers National Uncertainty, Resilient Sectors and Hiring Trends
The job market in Minneapolis remains stable amid national uncertainties, with Minnesota adding over 37,000 jobs statewide in the past year, a 1.2 percent increase outpacing the national 0.3 percent growth according to Red Lake Nation News. Employment landscape shows resilience in private sectors gaining 1.4 percent, though specific Minneapolis data is limited, highlighting gaps in localized statistics. Key statistics include steady payrolls over recent months, but national trends from Monster's 2026 WorkWatch Report indicate worker fears of weakening conditions, with only 43 percent planning job searches this year versus 93 percent last year, and 40 percent expecting no improvement.
