March Jobs Report Breakdown - 178,000 Added & What They're Not Telling You
Friday, 3 April, 2026

The March BLS jobs report headline looks decent. The reality underneath it doesn't. In today's episode, host Pete Newsome breaks down what the mainstream coverage will gloss over: a shrinking labor force, surging discouraged workers, falling hours, and a February revision that turned an already soft month into an outright loss. If you want to actually understand what the job market is doing right now, this is the episode.He also covers the NFIB March small business report, which confirms the same softening trend: falling hiring intentions, dropping compensation plans, and a hiring difficulty rate that refuses to budge despite a cooling market.New episodes every week.
