Four days from Election Day, and it's the calm before the storm — or it would be, if there weren't a jobs report to talk about! We'll get to that in the Weekly Wrap, plus wages. We'll also talk about the fight for a higher minimum wage in Florida and how it could affect turnout Tuesday. Finally, a long conversation with "Moonlight" director Barry Jenkins.
