In this episode, Algenon Cash sits down with Dr. Jeff Sarbaum, senior economist at UNC Greensboro, for a timely and insightful discussion on the state of the economy. With the Federal Reserve holding interest rates steady amid signs of economic slowing, job growth stalling, global trade tensions heating up, and the unexpected firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner, Americans are left with more questions than answers.

Together, we’ll unpack:

• What’s really happening with the labor market?

• Are the Feds too late—or too cautious?

• How will new tariffs affect businesses and consumers?

• Can we trust the numbers we’re being given?

• And what does all this mean for North Carolina?

Don’t miss this powerful, unfiltered conversation on economic direction, policy implications, and what the future may hold.
