In this episode, hosts Andrew Swanson, Joel Lawlor and Ethan Good break down four key economic gauges — the labor market, manufacturing, inflation, and interest rates — and explain what they mean for everyday households. Recorded during the Fed's June meeting— the episode covers May's surprisingly strong jobs report, why the labor market is being called ”low-hire, low-fire,” and what the latest manufacturing and inflation data reveal about rising costs.​
