Fed only saw cumulative inflation ticking up .3 percent this year on PCE from 2.5 to 2.8 percent. Markets think they’ll try and save jobs as long as it doesn’t get out of control.
Companies are trying to bring manufacturing to the US, so there will be plenty of jobs (just not well paying).
So we will have low unemployment but way worse utilization of manpower. We will see people with specialized degrees have to start working labor in a drone factory.
Quality of life goes down hard and people can’t afford their loans… but they will not be unemployed.
High employment does not necessarily mean good usage of resources.
It will make the Fed position very hard, economy in the shitter, inflation rising, low unemployment… all their tools will be useless.
They are no doubt in a tough spot, we should start to see layoffs however as companies begin to digest & react to all of this. Consumers are going to pull way back and only buy essentials.
I think companies will try and go lean and just rely on the hoards of cash they have stockpiled until we can get a new president potentially.
I don't know ultimately how much manufacturing is going to be relocated, CEO's on the record as very reluctant to make any concrete plans with Trump because he could change his mind on a whim.
There will be hiring freezes and layoffs coming soon.
The country may have made a huge mistake re-electing him.
