CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Have interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve begun to affect employment numbers and the broader economic outlook? Learn more when the Kenan Institute’s economic briefing returns this week after the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics releases its latest monthly jobs report.
The central bank has been busy trying to put the brakes on inflation, but are we beginning to see the signs of a Fed-induced recession? Professor Christian Lundblad, the institute’s director of research, will examine that possibility, provide an update on the employment figures and take your questions at 9 a.m. EDT this Friday, July 8.
Various experts from the institute will appear in the coming months and offer insights from their areas of specialization. The briefings will occur on the morning that the Labor Department releases its employment report, usually the first Friday of each month.
You’re invited to join via Zoom (registration details below) and welcome to submit any questions you would like to be addressed to External Affairs Associate Rob Knapp.
You are invited to a Zoom webinar.
When: July 8, 2022, 9 a.m. EDT (U.S. and Canada)
