When it comes to the job market, love the one you're with

The September Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey shows the labor market mostly unchanged, with quits ticking up slightly — but economists warn it's still a terrible time to leave a job without another one lined up. The episode also explains how a stiff labor market may be hampering productivity growth. Other segments cover rising warehousing costs ahead of the holidays, a looming 2027 MLB lockout over a proposed salary cap, and a story about workers leaving the paid labor force for unpaid "labors of love."
