164. This Week's Economy Ep. 22 | MULTI-DECADE High Interest Rates, Poor Job Market & China's Yuan Weakens

New podcast episode recapping this week's economic events to help you prosper!

Hello Friends,

Thank you for reading the Let People Prosper newsletter, which today includes the 22nd episode of "This Week's Economy,” where I briefly share insights every Friday on key economic and policy news across the country.

Today, I cover the following in less than 15 minutes:

1) National: What the new decade-high interest rate signifies for homeowners and renters, promising GDP growth, and the left wants more spending on top of some of this "new political subsidy economy" while some on the Left admit Bidenomics has failed,

2) States: Job growth and unemployment rates across states from the latest U.S. Jobs Report, including which states have the lowest and highest unemployment and year-over-year changes; and

3) Other: Why China's yuan is weakening but their interest rates out-compete the U.S.', and reasons for optimism for quality of living as shown in a recent article.

Below are links to my recent interviews and publications:

• NTD News interview on skyrocketing costs for families.
