AI IS KILLING the Labor MARKET and the FED knows it...

from Wall Street Truthbombs Podcast · host Wall Street Truthbombs

The unemployment rate says 4.3%, but that headline may be hiding a much weaker labor market underneath. In this video, Mark Malek breaks down why the Federal Reserve is focusing less on the headline number and more on the composition of job growth — especially the outsized role of health care, the growing impact of AI-driven hiring freezes, and the risk that labor market weakness could show up all at once instead of gradually.We also dig into the Fed’s latest warning, why energy shocks still matter, how workers leaving the labor force can make unemployment look better than it really is, and why this creates a massive problem for markets heading into the next FOMC meeting.If the labor market finally cracks, it may not drift lower slowly — it could snap.Subscribe to Wall Street Truthbombs for sharp, no-spin market analysis that connects the dots between jobs, inflation, AI, the Fed, and what it all means for your portfolio.Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@wstruthbombs?sub_confirmation=1unemployment rate, jobs report, labor market, Fed minutes, Federal Reserve, AI hiring freeze, AI layoffs, recession warning, economic slowdown, job market crash, FOMC, interest rates, inflation, labor force participation, Wall Street analysis, stock market warning, healthcare jobs, hiring slowdown, corporate layoffs, market risk, unemployment rate, jobs report, labor market, fed, federal reserve, fomc, ai layoffs, hiring freeze, recession, stock market, inflation, labor force participation, healthcare jobs, job market, economic warning, wall street, market analysis, rate cuts, core pce, portfolio riskSupport the show
