A dramatic slowdown in the labor market; America’s aging crisis: Homeless seniors

The latest jobs report is out, the first since President Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, accusing her of “fudging” the numbers. The new data shows the U.S. added 22,000 jobs last month, far below expectations. Host Brian Cheung talks with NBC News Senior Business Correspondent Christine Romans about what it means for the economy, the White House and American workers. Plus, America is aging fast. Today, 17% of the population is over 65, and by 2050, it’ll be closer to 1 in 4. But long-term care systems aren’t keeping up, fueling a troubling rise in homelessness among seniors. NBC News Correspondent Stephanie Gosk reports on what she saw firsthand.
