## Resource

Lucas and Luna dive into the latest labor force participation rate drop to its lowest in 50 years outside Covid, and what that means for the Fed's rate path. They break down why workers are leaving, how the June payrolls miss of 57,000 fits, and why the Fed is stuck between inflation and a shrinking workforce. With the 10-year Treasury at 4.48%, they explore the real economy beyond the headlines. #LaborForceParticipation #FederalReserve #InterestRates #FOMC #Inflation #Payrolls #JobsReport #MonetaryPolicy #Economy #10YearTreasury #CorePCE #ParticipationRate #WorkerShortage #Stagflation #Economics #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #FedPolicy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
