A big company that counts how many jobs there are in the US said there were fewer jobs than expected. This means some people might lose their jobs, which is not good for the economy. The people who make decisions about money (the Federal Reserve) are thinking about making changes to help the economy. Some companies that make things like computers and chips had a bad week because people are worried about problems with other countries (like China and Taiwan) and the amount of money they make might go down. China is giving a lot of money to its banks to help them because they are having problems with not making enough money from loans. The US government is spending a lot of money on things and not collecting as much money from people through taxes. Some people think this is a problem and the government should collect more money from rich people through taxes. Read from source...
