Ep. 9: Ghostbusters - How Far Has Gender Equality Come?

Offbeat Wall Street

This week, we're thinking about gender...and ghosts of the past. The new Ghostbusters movie came out a few weeks ago. The remake has become controversial, mostly due to the harsh reaction fans of the original movie had to the female cast. Meanwhile, around the same time as the movie's release, Hillary Clinton became the first woman nominated for president by a major political party in the U.S. In this episode, we look at how far gender equality has come since Clinton began her career more than 40 years ago. We also take our usual tour of Wall Street. We take a closer look at the new jobs data released last week. We also take a look at the steps central banks around the world are taking to head off a slowdown. We also check in on the Fed, who would love to start raising rates...if only the economy would let them. We also take a look at what's on the docket for this week.
