Structural or Transitory?
"Prices have risen in many areas, and the question is whether the annualized rate of increase will stay high, or fall back to normal, from these elevated levels. I suspect we are two-thirds through a reset in prices, many of which will prove sticky, but are unlikely to continue at these elevated rates of change." - Barry RitholtzFor more visit: The Big PictureFor disclosure information please visit: https://ritholtzwealth.com/blog-disclosures/ Hosted on Acast.

Who Is Quitting and Why?
"Instead of gradually raising the minimum wage over time nationally, first to $10, then $12, and putting it on a path towards $15, we have seen the pressure build for years . . . then during the pandemic lockdown, we experienced an 18 month period when low-wage workers reconsidered their careers. The dam broke, the results being both a sudden spike in wages and a shortage of workers." - Barry RitholtzFor more visit: The Big PictureFor disclosure information please visit: https://ritholtzwealth.com/blog-disclosures/ Hosted on Acast.

How We Experience Time
