You'll also hear thoughts from Zillow's chief economist, Orphe Divounguy , who says the report may not be as strong as it appears. We cover what's really happening beneath the surface—from slowing hiring and rising discouraged workers to cooling wage growth—and what it could mean for inflation, interest rates, and the Federal Reserve's next move.
