Strong Jobs Report Puts Fed Rate Cuts on Ice

The labor market is showing new strength after months of concern, with the latest jobs report delivering stronger hiring, positive revisions, and another sign that the economy may be picking up momentum. Chuck Zodda and Mike Armstrong break down why the May jobs report earned high marks, how job growth has improved over the last three months, and why the data makes a summer Fed rate cut increasingly unlikely. They also discuss what stronger hiring and sticky inflation could mean for interest rates, why the job market for recent graduates may be better than the headlines suggest, and why Anthropic is calling for a possible pause in frontier AI development even as the AI race continues to accelerate.
