In this episode of NIC Chats, host Lisa McCracken sits down with Eric Winograd, Chief Economist at AllianceBernstein, to unpack the economic turbulence shaking markets, businesses, and households across the U.S. and beyond. From dramatic policy shifts and new tariffs to the ripple effects on inflation, growth, and consumer confidence, Winograd offers a candid, data-driven look at what’s driving today’s volatility, and what it could mean for senior housing.

Highlights include:

• Why “uncertainty” is the economic watchword of the moment
• The real impact of tariffs on prices, growth, and investment decisions
• How labor shortages and demographics are shaping construction and caregiving
• What to expect from the Fed and fiscal policy in the months ahead
• The outlook for international investment and U.S. market stability

Tune in for expert insights on navigating a bumpy economic ride and why, despite the challenges, the U.S. may be better positioned than many think.
