Description
Discouraged American workers are showing signs of returning to the labor market, a signal that the Federal Reserve could hold off on interest rate hikes this year and that President Donald Trump may have something more to boast about as he heads toward his re-election campaign. Jared Bernstein, senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and former chief economist to Vice President Joe Biden, breaks it all down with POLITICO's Ben White.

Get smart on the tax debate: Want to sound smart when your Thanksgiving conversation invariably turns to marginal tax rates and corporate hiring behavior? Ben White hosts a reporter roundtable featuring Nancy Cook, Seung Min Kim and Brian Faler, join the group as they unpack the Republican tax cut effort from every angle. The issues explored include: Why are Republicans doing this now when the economy seems to be doing fine? Will it really light a fire under growth and drive up wages? Can the GOP cross the finish line and get a bill to President Donald Trump’s desk? And if they do, will they live to regret it given polls show most Americans don’t like what Republicans are doing? by POLITICO Money
