The Job Openings Surge That Changes the Recession Debate

from Recession Watch with Fexingo: Economic Cycles, Indicators, and What Slowdowns Mean · host Fexingo

New data shows job openings surged to 7.6 million in April, the highest in nearly two years. Lucas and Luna unpack what this means for the recession debate. Is a hot labor market the final piece for a soft landing, or does it just delay the inevitable downturn? They examine the quality of those openings, the disconnect with consumer confidence, and what the Fed might do next. Plus, how the Iran war energy cost is complicating the picture. A tight, focused look at one number that shifts the narrative. #JobOpenings #LaborMarket #RecessionWatch #FexingoBusiness #Economics #FederalReserve #SoftLanding #Inflation #IranWar #EnergyCosts #ConsumerConfidence #FedPolicy #JOLTS #Unemployment #WageGrowth #BusinessPodcast #EconomicIndicators #PodcastEpisode Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
