On today’s show, we’ll talk about what we might expect from the release of tomorrow’s jobs report; a report that shows many federal flood insurance payouts are going to the same houses; why some border communities are trying to strengthen U.S.-Mexico ties; and a drop in Samsung’s stock amid news that some of its batteries may have caught fire. 

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.
