Episode notes

America's employers delivered another outpouring of jobs, adding a remarkable 330,000 workers to their payrolls and bolstering hopes that the economy can vanquish inflation without succumbing to a recession in the face of high interest rates. Last month's job growth was up from a revised 270,000 in February and was far above the 200,000 jobs that economists had forecast. Mike Walden, N.C. State Economics Professor Emeritus, joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the March jobs report.
