WATCH NOW: June Economic Briefing
CHAPEL HILL, NC (June 3, 2025) – We’ve become accustomed to things happening quickly in Washington since January, but it’s just the pulling of the levers that’s fast, so fast that in some cases they’re pulled and then pushed back within 24 hours.
The impact of new policies is often much slower to develop, and the effects can differ from what we expect, especially when multiple policies are proposed at the same time – think tariffs vs. tax cuts – or their lifespan is uncertain. Kenan Institute Chief Economist Gerald Cohen will evaluate the morning’s employment data in the context of this policy mix in the latest monthly economic briefing, “Policymaking, Fast and Slow,” at 9 AM EDT Friday, June 6.
Experts from the institute will appear on the briefing each month and offer commentary in their areas of specialization. Briefings generally occur on the morning that the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases its employment report.
You are invited to join via Zoom (registration details below) and are welcome to submit any questions you would like to be addressed to External Affairs Assistant Director Rob Knapp.
You are invited to a Zoom webinar.
