economic outlook

Good morning. I'm Phil Rosen. Today's newsletter may not include a job offer, but it will give you a better grasp of what to look for in this still-hot labor market.

Good morning. I'm Phil Rosen — still recovering from last night's Succession episode. I'm actually writing to you not far from where HBO films many of the scenes in downtown Manhattan (fingers crossed I show up as an extra this season).

The main thing to watch today is the March jobs report, which is due at 8:30 a.m. ET. 

When markets are open, stocks often move in reaction to the report, but this time around the reaction will have to wait until Monday.

For our day off, we have a shorter edition for you. First, let's check in with Warren Buffett.
