A New AI Browser & Jobs Friday without Jobs Data 10/3/25
In a government shutdown, the Bureau of Labor Statistics cannot issue its monthly employment report; without that federal data, economists are combining state data and private data like the ADP report to paint an accurate picture of the country’s labor market. President of the Chicago Federal Reserve Austan Goolsbee explains the gaps in an economic picture painted without federal data, and considers what’s next for the central bank’s monetary policy. The $20 billion AI startup Perplexity is out with a new browser, called “Comet.” Founder and CEO Aravind Srinivas views the tool as more of a personal AI assistant, and maps out his vision for a future with AI. Plus, Apple has removed apps that track ICE agents from the App Store, and California Governor Gavin Newsom is threatening to pull billions of dollars in state funding from any California university that signs on to President Trump’s proposal to offer preferential access to federal funding.

Labor Market Metrics in a Shutdown 10/1/25
Hours into the first government shutdown in over six years, Punchbowl News co-founder Jake Sherman reports on the path forward for both sides of the aisle. The Bureau of Labor Statistics will not release its monthly employment report amid the shutdown, sending economists and investors elsewhere for labor market data. CNBC’s Steve Liesman shares September's ADP National Employment Report, and ADP’s chief economist Nela Richardson explains how her metrics–along with other datasets–help paint a picture of the labor market. Richardson’s takeaway: no matter the metric, hiring momentum has slowed. Plus, Berkshire Hathaway is reportedly exploring a purchase of Occidental Petroleum’s petrochemical business, FTC is suing Redfin and Zillow over antitrust concerns, and Walmart is eliminating artificial dyes in its store brand food products.
