The Bill Kelly Show Podcast:
Statistics Canada released a new report showing a 5.3% unemployment rate, the lowest they have reported since tracking unemployment in 1976. 73,000 jobs were added in March alone with the main driver being women over 55. Unequivocally good news, right? Except there are a few caveats to consider such as the oft low-paying gig economy, and some statistical oversight by StatsCan which brings the real unemployment rate to 7.2%.
GUEST: Leah Nord, Senior Director of Workforce Strategies and Inclusive Growth for the Canadian Chamber of Commerce

Russia has appointed a new General to lead their assault on Ukraine. Known for his brutal military record, Gen. Alexander Dvornikov is the so-called "Butcher of Syria." This move has military experts concerned that Putin is ready to keep the invasion going for months more, if not longer.
GUEST: Felix Light, Reporter for CBS News Radio in Istanbul

Bill has a check of the goings-on in the United States including senators disrespecting the new Supreme Court appointee Justic Ketanji Brown, COVID concerns returning to states like Philadelphia where a mask mandate may be reinstated, President Biden’s attempt to legislate “ghost guns,” dropping numbers for the Democratic Party, and more warnings about Russia’s effect on US democracy.
