2. I've been Googling like crazy - the only thing I can find Oct 8-9 is:

Fed's Powell speaks at National Association for Business Economics meeting – 10/8/2019
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=34&v=2oF4EZ4QdOs

is that it? I don't want to listen to 50 minutes in vain if this isn't the one.

I didn't see any interview in Google results in this time frame (one that Google said was Oct 9 turned out to be July 2018, sigh) ... could it be the above speech?

Note in the first minute the sound volume was very low (despite all volume controls on my computer at 100%), but it's better in the second minute...

I also found this ... probably the same thing ultimately ... but I have to subscribe to learn more (I followed the two "subscriber.politicopro.com" links below, knowing full well it would take me slamming into a paywall, but had to do it anyway).

IS JOB GROWTH REALLY BOOMING?: Job growth has not been as strong as BLS’ monthly jobs reports may indicate, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell suggested Tuesday, POLITICO’s Timothy Noah reports.

"Where we had seen a booming job market, we now see more-moderate growth," Powell said in a speech delivered in Denver ( https://subscriber.politicopro.com/f/?id=0000016d-ac92-dbde-a17d-add6bd2a0001 ) . "The currently reported job gains of 157,000 per month on average over the past three months may well be revised somewhat lower."

While such significant revisions are common, Powell said the Fed has been collaborating with the payroll company ADP to develop a new measure to help gather data on the labor market that will be more accurate more quickly. But despite his expectation that the numbers will be revised down, Powell said “job gains remain above the level required to provide jobs for new entrants to the jobs market over time.” More from Noah ( https://subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2019/10/powell-says-us-job-gains-are-overstated-3968428 ).


Edited to add: This looks like it might be it -- in text too which I prefer so I can copy and paste and search.
