Two federal judges have ordered the Trump administration to rehire fired federal workers who were on probation. The judges say the White House didn’t have the authority to execute mass layoffs and didn’t follow the law. And later: from our special series “Unlocking The Gates,” Marketplace special correspondent Lee Hawkins explores the lasting impact of housing discrimination in Minnesota, where racial covenants were first devised.
If you want to know how investors feel, check out the stock market. If you want to know how the rest of America feels — particularly low-income Americans — look to Dollar General. Its CEO said this week that its “core customers,” people who earn under $40,000 per year, are struggling. Also: “I’ve met fighter pilots, and I think you have a cooler job.” A vintage race car mechanic reflects on his work.
From the BBC World Service: Apple is appealing against a U.K. government demand to access its encrypted customer data, the outcome of which could shape the future of data protection. Then, U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened a 200% tariff on alcohol from EU countries. And we’ll hear from the co-founder of Roblox, one of the world’s biggest gaming platforms with ambitions to become the future of communication.
Miami Beach has long been a famous (or infamous) destination for spring break revelers. But the city is starting to be over it; past spring breaks have devolved into stampedes, stabbings and even fatal shootings. Now, the city has drawn up rules to keep tourists and residents safe — but some locals wonder how that could affect businesses that rely on spring breakers. Also: less environmental regulation and rising corporate bond yields.
1Federal agencies have until today to submit reorganization plans to the Office of Management and Budget. Those plans include layoffs, and the Social Security Administration is not immune. The agency is slated to reduce its staff by 7,000 employees, and many are worried about the problems that could result. Then, a wide-ranging antitrust probe into Microsoft is moving ahead, and students are suing the feds after staff cuts at federally-run tribal colleges.
From the BBC World Service: The president of Germany’s central bank, Joachim Nagel, has told the BBC that tariffs under U.S. President Donald Trump could push Germany into another recession — and he backs the European Union’s retaliatory actions. Also: The U.S. is once again sending military aid and intelligence support to Ukraine, which may unlock a multibillion-dollar rare mineral deal between the two countries. We’ll hear more.
Elevator parts, beer cans, gym equipment, metal furniture — these are just a few of the hundreds of goods now subject to President Donald Trump’s 25% tariffs, not just on steel and aluminum but lots of things made from those metals. The tariffs are coming amid concerns trade policy could cause a recession. We’ll hear more. Plus, solar power is on a tear, and inflation dipped amid market uncertainty.
Delta, American, Southwest and United have all cut their first-quarter growth forecasts or warned of slowing demand. This downturn comes five years to the week after the official start of the COVID-19 pandemic, when airlines faced a truly existential threat. We take a look back. Plus, in a much-needed break, the consumer price index showed cooling inflation in February. And we break down expansions in steel and aluminum tariffs.
From the BBC World Service: Greenland remains in U.S. President Donald Trump’s sights, but residents of the vast, mineral-rich Danish territory have elected a pro-business, pro-independence party in its general elections. We’ll hear more. Also: Another morning, another set of tariffs. The European Union hits back with reciprocal tariffs after the U.S. imposed a blanket 25% tax on steel and aluminium imports. And what’s the Chinese response to U.S. import taxes?
Americans took on an additional $74 billion in credit card debt last year, according to WalletHub, which is actually a smaller increase than we saw in 2023. But in 2024, Americans defaulted on $59 billion in credit card debt — a 34% jump from 2023. We’ll hear more. Also on the show: China’s deflation woes, a major crypto heist tied to North Korea and the market ripple effects of continued uncertainty.
Markets are a bit calmer this morning, after the NASDAQ had its steepest drop since 2022 and the S&P 500 tumbled 2.5% yesterday. Investors are looking forward to new data out today and this week that might offer insights into U.S. economic health. This comes after the Trump administration discounted market reaction to its tariff policies. Then, what economic legacies have been left by the COVID-19 pandemic five years on?
From the BBC World Service: Asian stock markets have continued to fall as investors raise concerns about the detrimental impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs and a potential U.S. recession. Then, on the final day of the National People’s Congress, progress on artificial intelligence has been celebrated. And hackers allegedly linked to North Korea have cashed out at least $300 million of their record-breaking $1.5 billion heist from crypto company Bybit.
Economists believe the risk of recession is higher, surveys show. Sources of economic uncertainty include tariffs, federal layoffs and immigration policy. Today, we’ll chat about a shift in how top government officials are describing the projected path of the economy. Also, both houses of Congress must pass a stopgap funding bill by this Friday night to avoid a partial government shutdown. And, when is the “golden window” to put your house on the market?
There’s a clear divide over some sunnier economic data that’s been released over the past few months and how consumers are actually experiencing this economy. On today’s show, we discuss how some headline figures — like unemployment and inflation — can mislead rather than paint a full picture. Plus, some economists and investors are worried about the direction of the U.S. economy, which President Donald Trump said is headed for “a period of transition.”
From the BBC World Service: The Japanese government begins a rare auction of its emergency rice stockpiles in a bid to drive down the surging price of the national staple; rice prices have roughly doubled over the past year. Then, China’s retaliatory tariffs on billions of dollars’ worth of U.S. goods are officially in force. Plus, we’ll hear how the war in Ukraine is creating a new middle class of Russians.
This week, Fitch Ratings found that 6.5% of subprime borrowers were at least two months late on their car payments. That’s the highest level since the agency began collecting this data in 1994. Other data finds that auto loan delinquency rates increased in 2024 across all income levels. What’s behind all this? Plus, tariffs already being felt across the economy. And later, a vintage race car mechanic reflects on the sights, sounds and feelings of racing.
This week, Dunkin’ dropped its surcharges on drinks with nondairy milk. Starbucks did the same late last year, as have some indie coffee shops. Today, we look at how the popularity of nondairy milks is changing how restaurants set prices. But first, we unpack the chaos of recent tariffs, including how they affect a free trade agreement between the U.S., Canada and Mexico, and how trade policy uncertainty is impacting agricultural exporters.

lack of imported labor raises labor costs, read opening the border and cheap labor pours in, the lower end workers make less money. How does that help the poor? Cesar Chavez was against the inflow border crossing cheap labor because it lowers the incomes of all but the corporations. Ask your Democrat politician why Biden hates labor.

Although baccarat appears to be a fairly straightforward, simple game that is completely dependent on chance, it has remained very popular for many years.

Humanitarian aid to Gaza so they can repeat?
If I spent , borrowed, then dumped that borrowed money into the market, as much as the Federal government does, the inflation would grow exponentially. The key is that the inflation is based on the difference between taxes income and money spent. If government borrowing covers the over spending each borrowed dollar lowers the value of each dollar already in the market, since the tax income doesn't change. Ergo inflation. Consumer spending increases the market value by the exchanging of dollars.
Why not improve public schools rather than drag Private Schools down.
Using Biden style overseeing. See no Evil, Hear no Evil, Say nothing about the Evil, such as Biden's control over the FBI and the CIA. Nancy Pelosi must be proud of the use of child labour as she promoted border crossing of all the children to do various kinds of work. Can you list all the things children can do? I knew you could. Such a good neighbor.
Nothing like semi- slavery to save on labor costs. Elites develope vaccines to have low wage autistic laborers for duties that would have cost more for non-autistic labor. You missed a table.
