THE SOFI SO WHAT

Only 40% of Jobs Pass This New Test
By Lindsay VanSomeren

At the end of the day, you want a job that helps you thrive. But many employers still fall short on livable wages, opportunities for advancement, and a healthy work-life balance, according to a recent Gallup study.

Many people understandably hold on to unsatisfying jobs when the economy is unpredictable. But that shouldn't stop you from identifying what you want from your job — and strategizing how to make it happen.

Your March Money Checkpoint: Making the Most of Tax Season
The most effective financial goals aren't overly complicated. In fact, you're usually better off prioritizing small, measurable wins. What should be on your to-do list this month? Here are 3 simple suggestions for maximizing March.

  1. File your tax return. The sooner you get your return done, the sooner you'll have your refund (if you're getting one). Plus, it's always better to leave yourself some breathing room in case you stumble on a problem at the last minute. The filing deadline is April 15.
  2. Make your tax refund count. Use at least half your refund to pay down high-interest debt, bulk up your savings, or fund your retirement.
  3. Put more into your IRA and HSA. You have until April 15 to count IRA or HSA contributions toward last year's limits. Here are the benefits.

WEEK AHEAD ON WALL STREET

The February Jobs Report
By Mario Ismailanji

With the February jobs report due on Friday, Wall Street's attention this week will be focused on the state of the U.S. labor market and what it means for interest rates.

  • The news: The main event will be the February employment report, with the big question being whether January's improvement was a one-off or the beginning of a strengthening trend for the market.
  • The context: Besides what it means for America's workforce, the state of the job market influences borrowing costs. Federal Reserve officials have signaled they won't cut the central bank's benchmark interest rate more if the labor market holds up and inflation remains stubbornly high.
  • Your move: Prepare for potential interest rate volatility as markets digest the numbers. A strong labor report could delay rate cuts (bad for Treasurys), while an unexpectedly weak report could revive hopes for more cuts sooner rather than later (good for Treasurys).
