The Jobs Report Preview Nobody Is Talking About
from Macro Tuesdays with Fexingo: Weekly Economic News, Policy, and Market-Moving Data · host Fexingo
With the May jobs report coming Friday, most analysts are focused on the headline payroll number. Lucas and Luna dig into the data no one is watching: the surge in long-term unemployment that hit 1.8 million in April, even as job openings rebounded to 7.6 million. They explain why the hidden shift in labor market composition matters more than the topline, and how it connects to the Fed's next move. Plus, the bond market is sending a signal about wage growth that contradicts the official numbers. A data-heavy episode for anyone trying to read between the lines of the monthly jobs report. #JobsReport #LongTermUnemployment #LaborMarket #FederalReserve #BondMarket #WageGrowth #JOLTS #InitialJoblessClaims #Economics #MacroTuesdays #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #May2026 #UnemploymentRate #ADPPayroll #TreasuryYields #InflationExpectations Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
