The Economic Consequences of Tax Cuts and Political Performances

Kathryn Anne Edwards, PhD economist and Bloomberg News columnist, joins the show to unpack the latest jobs report and what it reveals about the state of the labor market. She shares her take on whether AI poses a real threat to jobs and explains why the effects of tariffs are so tough to time. Kathryn also discusses how the GOP tax bill could reshape the economy, what she believes the federal minimum wage should be, and the policies she thinks could help close the wealth gap.
