PODCAST: Adjusting for exclusivity

A positive jobs report for November, and why Chanel bags have gotten so expensive.

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.
