## Resource

In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down the April jobs report after the U.S. economy added 115,000 jobs and unemployment held steady at 4.3%. Hiring beat expectations, but beneath the headline, signs of economic strain are emerging—from rising part-time employment to slowing wage growth and sector-specific layoffs. Kathy unpacks what the latest labor data, rising gas prices, and growing global uncertainty could mean for inflation, mortgage rates, and real estate investors in the months ahead.
