Unemployment is down but inflation is up. Layoffs are at new lows, but unfilled positions are near record highs. Why are experts calling the economy "weird"?
Here to explain is Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. He's the host of Inside Economics podcast, the co-founder of Economy.com, a trusted advisor for policymakers and expert for journalists, business leaders and consumers.
According to Zandi, wage growth is strong, but inflationary pressures were mounting before the pandemic. He tells us why the Federal Reserve is feeling the pressure to navigate troubling economic waters.
But he also explains why he's not too worried that we are heading into a recession.
So why does the Federal Reserve keep raising interest rates? And how does that help us?
We may not have all the answers yet, but Zandi will help you understand the shocks jolting the economy, how we're fighting inflation and what's to come.
