This is The Indicator from Planet Money.
I'm Waylon Wong.
And joining us for the next three months
as co-host is Stephen Besarra from the Gulf States Newsroom.
Welcome aboard, Stephen.
Yeah, thank you, Waylon.
I'm joining you from the new official Indicator Birmingham Studios.
Ooh, very exciting.
And you're here just in time for Jobs Friday.
Yay!
And you know,
it's another weird one
because we should be getting updated numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
However,
the government shutdown means we are not getting the BLS jobs report for the second month in a row.
Instead, we'll look at the numbers from the company's ADP and Reveilleux Labs.
ADP says private employers added 42,000 jobs in October.
Reveilleux Labs, which also factors in public sector jobs,
says the US economy actually lost 9,000 jobs.
