New unemployment claims keep trending down, and low wage employers are trying signing bonuses to get employees in the door. The price of lumber is going bonkers. There was a pretty big increase in the Consumer Price Index, what does that mean for you and me? Retail sales stalled a bit, how much can we read into that? What kind of impact is the pipeline hack having on the economy? And should you be worried about inflation?
