This week on Your Money

Nothing is more important than job growth in our economy right now, but our elected leaders seem to be doing everything in their power to derail it. From sequestration to the battle over the debt ceiling, Congress continues to waste our time with partisan blackmail and political showmanship on the wrong issues.

With three more jobs reports before the presidential election, Ali Velshi and guests Mohamed El-Erian and Stephen Moore zero in on how a hiring recovery could boost consumer confidence and jump-start our economy.

Also: Why do the economy and the markets seem to be pulling in opposite directions and how can you make sure your portfolio is positioned right to protect your prosperity? Ali talks to two professional investors about where to invest now to improve your portfolio.
