News reports on the K-shaped economy have relied heavily on one private data source. What does it actually measure, and what do other sources have to say? @JeffHorwich reviews the data on U.S. consumers and finds the "K-shaped" evidence decidedly mixed. https://t.co/WG9CvPKnNo

The implications that President-elect Trump's proposed mass deportation plan would have on inflation "are not entirely clear," @MinneapolisFed President @neelkashkari says, but adds that it "would probably cause some disruption" for businesses that may lose employees.

Kashkari says that it ultimately will be between the business community, Congress and the White House "to figure out how they would adjust."

As the Fed brought down inflation, the steep drop in job openings has been seen as a crucial cushion for the "soft landing." Analysis by our @Simon_Mongey finds job vacancies were never as high as it seemed -- and the labor market is fully back to earth. https://t.co/l0UNIOIyz6

If you lost your income today, do you have enough money set aside for 3 months? Almost 1/2 of Americans do not. As @JeffHorwich writes, the economy is resilient by many measures, but latest readings on "rainy day" readiness complicate the picture. Article- https://t.co/ODL97vSXK9

Minnesotans are among the Americans least likely to move out of their current bracket. Those who start at the bottom here tend to stay at the bottom, and those who start at the top tend to stay at the top. https://t.co/J6SPgsc7Gd

"R-star" a.k.a. the "neutral rate" is a wonky notion economists and econ journalists take for granted. But what is this mythical interest rate? Why does it matter for monetary policy? Where does the ⭐️ come from? Got 2 minutes? Join @JeffHorwich to become a little more FedFluent!
