## Resource

In today's episode: The surprising reason monthly jobs numbers have become unreliable, and what savvy leaders should track instead. What 172,000 "new jobs" actually looks like up close, and why the headline figure can be deeply misleading. The difference between fear-based leadership and adaptive strategy, and how the best CEOs are responding to turbulence right now. CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel is a 5-minute daily podcast where business pragmatism meets inner wisdom. John Frehse, Global Head of Labor Strategies at Ankura, joins Jessica to break down the latest jobs report, question what the numbers are really telling us, and debate what smart leadership looks like when the economic signals are this noisy.
