September 10, 2025 By Matt Justice

This week on the Trading Justice Podcast, the brothers break down the weakest jobs report since 2020 and what it means for the market. With payrolls adding just +22,000 in August vs. +75,000 expected, revisions going negative, and confidence slipping, the labor market is flashing real warning signs.

We cover the Top 5 Reasons Corporations Aren’t Hiring — from high rates and weak demand to the rise of AI — and ask the hard questions:

– Is AI the real driver behind the hiring freeze? 

– What does this mean for Fed policy and future rate cuts?

– Can the White House and Fed restore confidence before things worsen?

– In Stock It or Drop It, we break down Robinhood, AppLovin, Chewy, Broadcom, Salesforce, Alphabet, UNH, and Starbucks. Winners, losers, and what setups we’re watching.

Finally, in Coaches Corner, we tackle pressing mindset and career questions — from AI layoffs to pushing through fear, to whether rate cuts now spell opportunity or recession.
