Update: 2025-10-14
Description
The markets have climbed higher despite continuing concerns around the shutdown, tariffs and inflation. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq have set records more than 30 times this year and other data suggest the economy is chugging at a steady clip. But for the majority of Americans, this economy is landing very differently right now, and it's hardly good times. Economics correspondent Paul Solman reports.
