Past Webinar – Instant Insight: Jobs & The Economic Outlook | 10/2/26

Oct 2, 2026

Brian Jacobsen, chief economic strategist at Annex Wealth Management, and wealth manager Kent Halleen discuss the latest jobs report and its implications for the economy. They analyze key metrics including the increase of 29,000 in non-farm payroll employment for September, the unemployment rate of 4.2%, and the 3% year-over-year increase in average hourly earnings. The discussion covers sector-specific shifts, such as growth in healthcare and social assistance versus declines in finance, insurance, and administrative services. They also explore the significance of diffusion indices and the rise in multiple job holders, connecting these economic trends to broader themes like inflation, productivity, and long-term financial planning.
