Summary

115,000 jobs. Unemployment unchanged. And almost nobody feels good about it.The April jobs report came in more than double what economists expected — and the labor market still feels fragile to most people. That gap isn't a vibe problem. It's a data problem.In this episode, Dr. Abdullah Al-Bahrani and Jack Marx break down what the headline number misses: a 445,000-person spike in part-time workers who wanted full-time jobs, 348,000 federal workers gone since October, and a warehousing sector that had a good month but is still 105,000 jobs below its 2025 peak.They also get into GameStop's bid to buy eBay — and what Ryan Cohen's CNBC appearance reveals about how markets actually process information.
