  • NPR.

  • This is The Indicator from Planet Money.

  • I'm Waylon Wong here with the astounding Adrienne Ma.

  • What's up?

  • Hi, Adrienne.

  • And we are joined by the dapper, Darian Woods.

  • Thank you.

  • And happy Valentine's Day to you both.

  • In America I've learnt you can say that to people who are not your lovers.

  • And you can also give it to things that are not humans.

  • Like indicators that we're weak!

  • On today's episode we do not have flowers for you, but we do have...

  • An analysis of new job numbers hot off the griddle.

  • A policy that might just save our elders.

  • And his only forgotten son returns.

  • Or at least...

  • People are betting on that.

  • More on that after the break.

  • It's Indicators of the Week.

  • Adria Ma, you are first.
