Introduction
This podcast was recorded at 1.06 PM on Thursday, June 15, 2023. Employers added 339,000 jobs in May; even sectors where you'd expect to see a slowdown like construction are still hiring. Average wages in May were up 4.3% from a year ago but prices rose over that 12 month period. The administration has been waiting for inflation to not eat up all those wage gains.
