Episode description

August’s disappointing jobs report exposed a clash between slowing jobs growth and rising wages. But another clash is brewing as well, between the confidence of consumers and CEOs. Does one explain the other? We’ll ask Conference Board CEO Steve Odland. Plus, in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, are insurance premiums about to spike? We’ll explore the storm’s full impact, and what happens if these weather events become increasingly ‘normal.’ And, activist investing firm Engine No. 1 is reportedly revving up to take on another big oil producer. We’ll explain the high-profile fight that could be shaping up.
