Why Economists Disagree on the Shape of This Recovery

The economy is growing, but not everyone feels it. Lucas and Luna dig into why economists are split on whether we're in a K-shaped, C-shaped, or just plain uneven recovery. They look at the latest GDP print of 1.5 percent annualized growth, the sticky core PCE at 3.3 percent, and what the divergence between job openings and payrolls tells us about the labor market. They also unpack why the Fed's newest hawkish voices, like Hammack and Warsh, are pushing for rate hikes even as inflation cools slightly. If you've wondered why the headlines say one thing and your wallet says another, this episode maps the disconnect with real data and a little healthy skepticism. #KShapedRecovery #EconomicIndicators #GDPGrowth #CorePCE #FederalReserve #Inflation #LaborMarket #JobOpenings #Payrolls #WarshFed #HammackFed #EconomistsDisagree #MacroData #USEconomy #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #Economics #PodcastEpisode Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
