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

Seems like you're watching a different show than everyone else.

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.
