26 分钟With the US election looming,
four in five registered voters say that the economy is going to be very important to their vote.
That makes the economy the top issue above healthcare, foreign policy and immigration.
And for a lot of this year, that seemed like bad news for the Democrats.
Even though the data on how the US Economy was doing seemed pretty good, the vibes were bad.
This week we are going to ask one of the President's key economic advisors where we are now are the vibes catching up with the data.
This is the Economics show with Samaya Keynes.
This week I'm joined by a very well informed guest,
Jared Bernstein, Chair of the Council of Economic Advisors.
Jared, hello.
Hello.
Thanks for inviting me on.
Okay, so before we begin, I feel like there is something that you need to get off your chest.
Would you like to share any comments on the title of my podcast?
Oh, yes, yes.
No,
I wanted to praise you for the creative sessions it must have taken to come up with the title the Economic Show.
And just note that I suggested a subhead, which is the Economic show colon a show about economics.
And I just wondered if you're thinking along those lines.
Yeah, I could suggest that to my editor, Rola.
