The Hidden Inflation Story Inside the Jobs Report

Mike Armstrong and Marc Fandetti break down a stronger-than-expected jobs report and what continued labor market tightness could mean for inflation and Federal Reserve policy. The conversation explores why healthcare hiring is driving much of recent job growth, how demographic trends are reshaping the labor force, and whether AI and robotics could eventually offset rising labor costs in the sector. The hosts also dive into the ongoing debate over tariffs, examining the economic trade-offs between protecting domestic industries and raising costs for consumers and businesses.
