The Labor Department released its jobs report this morning for the month of November. And the headline number is a big one. Plus, in honor of Marketplace’s 25th anniversary, we’re looking at some of the surprising ways prices have changed over the last quarter century. A little inflation can be good for an economy, a lot can be dire. So what happens when the price of retail goods goes up faster than inflation? We’re taking a look at what’s happened to the price of Chanel bags over the last two-and-a-half decades.

There’s a lot happening in the world.  Through it all, Marketplace is here for you. 

You rely on Marketplace to break down the world’s events and tell you how it affects you in a fact-based, approachable way. We rely on your financial support to keep making that possible. 

Your donation today powers the independent journalism that you rely on. For just $5/month, you can help sustain Marketplace so we can keep reporting on the things that matter to you.
