Episode Description from the Publisher

This week on Fed Watch, ITR Economist and Speaker Lauren Saidel-Baker breaks down what the June jobs report is really telling us about the U.S. economy and why the headlines may not reflect the full story. She also examines the Supreme Court's decision in the Lisa Cook case, what it means for Federal Reserve independence, and why the outcome could shape future monetary policy. If you're trying to separate market noise from meaningful economic trends, this episode explains what business leaders should be watching next. What do you think will have the bigger impact on the economy: the labor market or Federal Reserve independence? Let us know in the comments.
