The Fed’s New Test: Press April Briefing
CHAPEL HILL, NC (April 1, 2026) — Beneath the headlines about Iran and oil, a quieter story is building. The labor market has been shedding jobs and shedding workers. For a Fed already navigating a genuinely complicated dual mandate tension — and soon to be under new leadership — the March employment report will be anything but background noise.
Join Kenan Institute Research Fellow Christian Lundblad as he discusses the situation and takes your questions during the institute’s monthly briefing at 9 AM EDT Friday, April 3.
You are invited to join via Zoom (registration details below) and are welcome to submit questions you would like to hear addressed to External Affairs Assistant Director Rob Knapp via email.
You are invited to a Zoom webinar.
