On this episode, Laura Rosner-Warburton is joined by special guest Claudia Sahm, Chief Economist at New Century Advisors, for a deep dive into the latest inflation data and what it means for markets and the Fed.

The conversation also covers the recent firing of the BLS Commissioner, the risks to data integrity, and how ongoing modernization efforts could shape future economic reporting.
