Backwards looking data. Market is pricing in a forward looking jobs bloodbath

Just because the market is pricing it in doesn’t mean it’ll happen. An unemployment spike seems overblown

Maybe, but my feeling is the tariffs will impact inflation and ruin profit margins for import/export heavy companies. A lot of the US economy is service-based, and will only get a glancing blow. I think we’ll see a rise, but not up to 7-9% or “bloodbath” territory.
