This is the Indicator from Planet Money.
I'm Waylon Wong.
I'm Darian Woods.
And I'm Adrienne Ma.
And today is the day of the week when we talk about our favorite numbers from the news.
That's right, everyone.
It is Indicator of the Week.
So on today's episode...
How Minnesota workers were affected by the administration's immigration crackdown.
How coffee is getting very hot price-wise.
And how basically a sci-fi blog piece jolted the stock market.
Indicators of the week?
Whalen, do you want to go first?
My indicator is $106 million.
That is the estimated amount of wages that workers in the Minneapolis St.
Paul area lost during Operation Metro Surge.
This $106 million figure was published this week by a Minnesota Research Institute called North Star Policy Action.
And Aaron Sojourner helped crunch the numbers.
He's a labor economist that we've had on the show before.
