Friday's jobs report gave us a number. But there's a bigger story behind the data, which is why The Tradeoff was created: to give listeners a way to spot economic patterns that make sense in their own lives.


In the Season 2 opener, Mattie walks through how she reads the economy after 20 years inside the policy that shapes it, and why she no longer believes there is a return to normal waiting for us.


In this episode:

· Why 2009 to 2019 was a period, not a baseline

· How women's labor force participation hit its highest rate ever recorded, then fell 2.8 percentage points in six months

· Return to office isn't the full story

· What happens to retirement and homeownership when a W-2 becomes a 1099

· The average first-time homebuyer is now 40 years old, and what that does to the economy as a whole

· A different way to price labor: the first five years of a child's life as a down payment on the workforce


13 minutes. Which is less time than you spent on hold with your childcare provider this week.
