	Description:		With Angus Thompson: A talkfest or an ambitious vehicle to drive economic reform and wage growth? Perhaps both? Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Treasurer Jim Chalmers will lead a jobs summit starting tomorrow bringing together political leaders, unions, business chiefs and community groups. The summit’s taking place against a backdrop of rising inflation and interest rates, stagnant wage growth and a tight labour market. High on the agenda are mooted changes to the better-off overall test, which could receive bipartisan support. But the Greens are warning they won’t back any changes that leave young or low-paid workers worse off. Today on Please Explain, federal industrial relations reporter Angus Thompson joins Bianca Hall to discuss how the summit could change the jobs market.
