The August Payroll Mirage and Labor Market Rigidity

Lucas and Luna dissect the disconnect between August's nonfarm payroll numbers and the underlying health of the US labor market. With payrolls rising slightly to 159,075 thousand but real GDP growth slowing to one point five percent, they explore why job creation is masking wage stagnation and rising unemployment among younger demographics. They analyze the implications for the Federal Reserve's next interest rate decision at three point six three percent and what sticky inflation expectations tell us about the economic outlook heading into September.
