This week on the Macrocast, Ylan, John, and Brendan are joined by Nick Bunker, Director of North American Economic Research at Indeed to discuss the latest core PCE data. Nick discusses some of Indeed’s proprietary labor market data, including its [Job Postings Index](https://www.hiringlab.org/data/), that shows that average wages are now outpacing inflation. 

Nick brings his expertise to the conversation, discussing the Fed’s next moves and the robust demand for workers across the globe. The group also forecasts future labor market indicators, including part-time employment shifts and hours worked. Tune in for an episode packed with insights to help you navigate the latest economic developments.
