Pandemic economy update: A GDP to brag about, rising Delta uncertainty, and when will the Fed raise interest rates?

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

Good GDP numbers and other economic indicators are painting a pretty good picture for the health of the economy, but the Delta variant and uncertainty with the virus are keeping economists on their toes. People are still concerned about going back to work, jobless claims are going down, and job openings are still sky high -- it's an interesting puzzle worth taking a look at. And consumer confidence keeps rising even as prices rise too. David Fiorenza, economist at the Villanova School of Business joins KYW Newsradio In Depth to talk about what happened this week in the economy and what it means for all of us in our daily lives.
