How Stagflation Is Reshaping Long-Term Unemployment Costs

Episode 32 of Stagflation Conversations with Fexingo explores a hidden cost of today's slow-growth, high-inflation environment: the surge in long-term unemployment. With the unemployment rate at 4.3 percent but initial jobless claims rising to 225,000, Lucas and Luna drill into new data showing that workers out of work for 27 weeks or more are piling up. They examine how this structural shift affects everything from skill erosion to consumer spending patterns, and why the 1970s stagflation playbook doesn't quite fit. A must-listen for anyone trying to understand the real economy behind the headline numbers. #StagflationConversations #Economics #LongTermUnemployment #Stagflation #LaborMarket #JOLTS #JoblessClaims #StructuralUnemployment #FedPolicy #CPI #GDPGrowth #1970sEchoes #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #Macro #Inflation #LaborForce Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
