In this episode of The Labor Brief, Julia Coronado is joined by guest co-host Nela Richardson, NABE Vice President and Chief Economist at ADP, to break down the latest employment data, comparing ADP’s monthly report with the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ official release. While both point to steady job growth, the conversation highlights growing volatility beneath the surface and questions about how much hiring is truly needed to keep unemployment stable. Looking beyond the headlines, Julia and Nela explore how demographic forces—particularly an aging population—are reshaping labor supply in ways more significant than AI or cyclical demand shifts. From declining participation among older workers to persistent shortages in manufacturing and other hourly roles, employers are struggling to fill positions despite continued job availability. The episode underscores a fundamental tension in today’s economy: jobs exist, but fewer workers are willing—or able—to take them, pointing to a structural transformation in the U.S. labor market.NABE is the premier professional association for business economists and others who use economics in the workplace.

On this episode of The Inflation Brief from ECON-versations with NABE, hosts Greg Daco and Laura Rosner-Warburton break down the February CPI report and what it signals about the path of inflation. While headline and core readings appeared relatively steady, the data revealed a more complicated story beneath the surface. Greg and Laura examine the diverging trends across goods and services, including modest increases in apparel and recreation goods—potentially reflecting tariff pass-through—alongside continued disinflation in shelter costs and persistent strength in leisure-related services.The conversation also explores the growing gap between CPI and PCE inflation, rising medical care prices, and the potential inflationary impact of a sharp increase in gasoline prices amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. With oil prices surging and energy costs likely to push headline inflation higher in the coming months, Greg and Laura discuss whether a new supply shock could complicate the Federal Reserve’s path toward rate cuts. As uncertainty builds across markets and global events unfold, the hosts assess what the latest data may mean for inflation dynamics and monetary policy in the months ahead.NABE is the premier professional association for business economists and others who use economics in the workplace.

The initial April 2025 NABE Outlook presents the consensus macroeconomic forecast of a panel of 41 professional forecasters. The initial survey, covering the outlook for 2025 and 2026, was conducted March 18-25, 2025. In order to capture rapidly changing economic conditions, a flash survey was conducted April 7-9, 2025, and presents the consensus 2025-2026 macroeconomic forecast of 32 professional forecasters out of the 41 initially surveyed. The NABE Outlook Survey originated in 1965,and is one of three surveys conducted by the National Association for Business Economics (NABE); the others are the NABE Business Conditions Survey and the NABE Economic Policy Survey. Founded in 1959, the National Association for Business Economics is the professional association for those who use economics in their work. NABE has over 2,800 members and 44 chapters nationwide.

Edited by Kate Anderson. The views expressed in this report are those of the panelists, and do not necessarily represent the views of their affiliated companies or institutions. This report may be reproduced in whole or in part with appropriate citation to NABE.SUMMARY: “NABE panelists lowered their forecasts for economic growth for 2025 and 2026 following the April 2nd tariff announcement,” said NABE President Emily Kolinski Morris, CBE, chief economist, Ford Motor Company. “The Flash Survey calls for inflation-adjusted gross domestic product to increase by 1.3% this year, down from 1.9% in the initial April survey. Similarly, the outlook for 2026 economic growth is 1.4%, down from 1.9%.“In addition, half of the participants place the probability of recession in 2025 between 25% and 49%, while 37% place the odds at 50% or higher. This compares with 8% who placed the odds of recession in 2025 at 50% or higher just prior to the April 2nd tariff announcement.”“Inflation forecasts for this year were lifted higher, while projections for next year were little changed in the Flash Survey,” added NABE Outlook Survey Chair Kathy Bostjancic, chief economist, Nationwide. “Survey respondents now forecast the consumer price index will accelerate to a 3.4% annual rate by the end of 2025, up from the estimated 3.0% annual pace in the initial April survey.“Similarly, the estimate for the personal consumption expenditure price index was boosted to an annual 3.5% by year-end, up from 2.7% in the initial survey. Panelists did not alter the forecast path for the Federal funds rate in 2025, continuing to call for a 25-basis-point rate cut in Q3 2025 and another 25-bps rate reduction in Q4 2025.”To download the full report, please visit NABE.com/Surveys.
