Americans' economic pessimism

The October jobs report showed that job creation is roaring back. 531,000 jobs were added last month and unemployment fell to 4.6% - a pandemic low.

And, what google searches can tell us about key voter issues. Guests: Axios' Felix Salmon, Andrew Freedman, and Stef Kight. Credits: Axios Today is produced in partnership with Pushkin Industries.
