The jobs reported off by its largest number in 15 years & Ford thinks twice on EVs

Episode 393: Neal and Toby discuss the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ anticipated revision which removed 800,000 jobs from last year’s jobs report. The largest in the last 15 years. Then, the FTC’s plan to ban noncompete agreements in the US has run into a roadblock as a federal judge says, not so fast. Next, Ford once pledged to make big investments in all-electric vehicles but has since reversed course as it scraps its latest EV model plans. Plus, Neal shares his favorite numbers from big banks’ bad deal with Elon Musk, the rise of ‘boommates’, and the super long wait time for US visas.
