What does this mean for us?Well, it's a bit of a mixed bag, but one thing's for sure - our unemployment rate continues to make history, dropping to a mere 3.3%, the lowest we've seen since 1969.Wage growth exceeds expectations, triggering the wage-price spiral the Fed wants to avoid.  Jobs creation remains strong, but the CPI report looms, with housing-related costs making up 38.5% of the index.  April 2022 data will be replaced, leading to a drop in headline and core numbers.
