The US economy is showing signs of overheating, with inflationary trends extending beyond geopolitically driven energy costs. At the same time, uneven job creation, declining purchasing power and weak consumer confidence suggest underperformance.
Chief Economist Gerald Cohen will sort through this dissonance during the Kenan Institute’s monthly economic briefing at 9 AM EST Friday, November 6. He will also analyze Friday morning’s employment report for October as well as take questions from the audience.
