August 2022

Buonjourno, Italy. One of the three biggest film festivals (along with Cannes and Berlin) is back to put on a show. And per usual, there are some highly anticipated films in the lineup. Like Andrew Dominik's Marilyn Monroe biopic "Blonde." And Olivia Wilde's psychodrama “Don’t Worry Darling” — starring Harry Styles.

Time to check on the job market. July was an exciting month for the economy. Employers added 528,000 jobs — doubling analyst expectations. And the unemployment rate dropped down to 3.5%. Which is the lowest it's been since February 2020. And a welcome discovery, amid fears of a recession. Fingers crossed that August kept the momentum going.
