When it comes to inflation, being indifferent can have some serious consequences. Inflation refers to the increase in the general price level of goods and services over time. This can cause things like our purchasing ability to decrease, meaning we will need more money to buy the same things. This can make it harder to afford everyday expenses and can even affect savings. It leads to a higher cost of living, making it harder for individuals and families to afford essential items. Additionally, inflation greatly affects businesses by increasing production costs and forcing them to either let people go or increase sale costs in response. Overall, Inflation is and will be something to worry about as it leads to economic stability and a lot more problems. Inflation and Unemployment kind of go hand in hand as it is both a major problem and very risky for the economy. Unemployment refers to the lack of job opportunities for people who are actively seeking employment. Some causes include changes in the economy such as recessions as well as technological advancements that replace the need for human jobs. These topics interest me because it has a great capability of affecting me and my family in the future. Inflation and Unemployment is an ongoing problem and I believe it needs to be fixed before it affects even more generations. It also interests me because of how quickly it can change and the complexity of the topic.

Job growth slowed to 150,000 in October, unemployment ticked up to 3.9%

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The economy added just 150,000 jobs in October, reflecting a slowdown in the labor market as the Federal Reserve keeps interest rates high to try to bring down inflation.

# data[].attributes.body
The added number of jobs surprisingly changed as officials were trying to battle inflation. Many experts think the economy is reaching a more stable spot.

It could be a useful source for the right person but not me. The information is confusing and a lot of it I have heard already. there is no bias because most of it is just stating straight facts. The goal is basically to just update people on what is going on around them and what they need to look out for.

This source was not very helpful to me. Even though it had true facts, most did not relate to my topic, or I had already known them. It did not help my research but I still think people can benefit from reading. it could help bring more awareness to the problem.

America's surprisingly resilient job market delivered yet another month of higher-than-expected hiring in May - adding 339,000 jobs last month.

The mammoth number raises the prospect that the Federal Reserve will continue hiking interest rates in hopes of battling stubbornly high inflation.

The latest figures released by the Labor Department also indicate that unemployment rose 3.7% from 3.4%.

Before the federal government revealed the latest figures, analysts estimated that hiring slowed to a still-healthy pace of 190,000 added jobs last month, according to a survey by the data provider FactSet.

That would have marked a decline from the robust 253,000 jobs that were gained in April and would fall below the average for the previous three months of about 220,000.

The unemployment rate was projected to rise slightly to 3.5% from a five-decade low of 3.4%.

Companies have steadily slowed hiring since January, when the three-month average pace of gains was an unusually strong 330,000.

Federal Reserve officials would welcome a more modest rate of job growth.

The central bank has raised its benchmark interest rate 10 times in 14 months in an aggressive drive to conquer high inflation.

Fed officials have said they think strong hiring can often fuel inflation if companies feel compelled to raise pay to attract and keep workers.

These companies typically pass on their higher labor costs to their customers by raising prices.

A slowdown in job growth and pay raises could help the Fed reach its 2% inflation target.

Though inflation has dropped steadily from its peak of 9.1% a year ago, it remained elevated in April at 4.9%, measured year over year.

Top Fed officials have signaled that they expect to forgo a rate increase at their June 13-14 meeting.

Doing so would afford them time to assess how their previous rate hikes have affected the inflation pressures underlying the economy.

Higher rates typically take time to affect growth and hiring.

The Fed wants to avoid raising its key rate to the point where it would slow borrowing and spending so much as to cause a deep recession.

In remarks this week, several Fed officials pointed to Friday's jobs report - along with the next government report on inflation, to be released June 13 - as important factors in their decision-making.

It's possible that a much stronger-than-expected May jobs report could cause the Fed's policymakers to consider imposing yet another rate hike this month instead of pausing.

Slower hiring could suggest that the job market is moving toward a more sustainable balance after two years of gangbusters gains that followed the economy's explosive rebound from the 2020 pandemic recession.

The US economy as a whole has been gradually weakening.

It grew at a lackluster 1.3% annual rate from January through March, after 2.6% annual growth from October through December and 3.2% from July through September.

Some signs have emerged that demand for workers, too, is easing just as more Americans are coming off the sidelines and looking for jobs.

The low unemployment rate and rising pay have helped persuade more than 2 million people to take jobs or begin looking for work in just the past six months.

"We are seeing some calming down in terms of the jobs market, even if it remains pretty strong overall," said Sarah House, an economist at Wells Fargo.

The number of people who are quitting their jobs - a sign of confidence in the employment market - has dropped back to near pre-pandemic levels.

Companies have also shed temporary employees for the past three months, evidence that labor demand has begun to ebb.

Even though the increase in inflation has slowed through October, experts are still saying the percentage is too high and will likely keep posing a threat to Biden and the rest of the nation. Inflation has caused plenty of problems with household prices and buying power over the past years and it is painful for homeowners to deal with. Many citizens have noticed a big difference in their living conditions over the past few years so although the rates have slowed, it is far from over.

It is a useful source to all as it shows the current situation the world is in. This information is reliable as it uses specific stats and evidence to support their claim. The goal of this source was to let people know that they cannot stop caring as soon as they see a slight improvement because inflation is still causing problems all around the world. There does not seem to be any bias and all the information is correct.

This source was very helpful to me as it shows that we can not ignore this problem even though it has gotten slightly better. It uses very scary and eye-opening stats that definitely help show people that there is still a big problem. People need to know about this so they take into consideration when they make decisions with their money and finance.

The rate of inflation slowed in October from a month earlier, providing some relief for President Joe Biden as he prepares the ground for next year's election, but experts warned price increases are still too high and the economy isn't out of the woods yet.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 3.2 percent in the year to October, easing from the September rate of 3.7 percent, according to data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Tuesday. Core prices-which exclude volatile assets like food and energy-increased by 4 percent, also a bit less than in September.

While the numbers were better than some expected, and the lowest since July, sticky inflation might still be a problem for Biden as he prepares to run for a second term with the state of the economy high on the agenda. The data may also reduce pressure on the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates again this year, but borrowing costs remain high, providing more pain for homeowners.

"Slower inflation is an oxymoron to consumers that take no solace in the fact that prices aren't rising as fast, because they are still rising," Greg McBride, Bankrate's chief financial analyst, told Newsweek. "The cumulative effect of inflation has strained household budgets and undermined buying power, with the Consumer Price Index up more than 18 percent in the past three years," he added.

A recent Bankrate survey found that 69 percent of Americans said their cost of living is worse now compared to three years ago. A majority of 72 percent Republican voters blamed Biden for this, while this number dropped to 53 percent among Independents and 20 percent among Democrats.

Newsweek contacted the White House's press team for comment by email on Tuesday.

"Many Americans continue to see Bidenomics as synonymous with one thing -and one thing only: ever-escalating prices," Thomas Gift, the founding director of the Centre on U.S. Politics at University College London, told Newsweek. "If Americans feel the pinch with Black Friday and Cyber Monday right around the corner, they're going to blame the White House."

Even with October's inflation data turning out to be reasonably tame, "Americans have so come to associate this administration with sky-high inflation that it continues to be a hard narrative to shake," Gift added. "It's perceptions that matter-and drive ballot box behavior."

David Wessel, director of the Hutchins Center on Fiscal & Monetary Policy at the Brookings Institution, told Newsweek that while decelerating inflation is what Biden and his team were hoping for, he doesn't think that monthly CPI releases have a big impact on consumer attitudes.

"Consumers are more focused on the prices they're paying, particularly for gas at the pump," he said. "A steady decline in the CPI measure of inflation is better than an increase, but people are focused on how much more they are paying today than they did a couple of years ago and, for most things, those prices aren't going to come down.

"The price of eggs is coming down, though. At the peak, in January 2023, a dozen eggs cost, on average, $4.82. As per the last CPI in September, they were down to $2.07. I am surprised the President isn't talking about that."

Newsweek is committed to challenging conventional wisdom and finding connections in the search for common ground.

Inflation data gives Joe Biden some good news, but problems not over

Cooling inflation figures last month were good news for the president, but his economic difficulties are far from over.

There are many perils of people who remain indifferent to the problem of inflation and unemployment. These perils can be both individual and the economy as a whole. As for individual perils, these include financial struggle which is caused by the lack of notice to whats happening in the economy, job loss, lack of purchasing power, and more. As for the entire world, the main danger is economic stability. This can lead to huge problems involving the world and the government. It will also effect citizens in very negative ways.

There are a few simple solutions that can be proposed. The main one is to get people to pay more attention to these problems. If people learned about these things and about what to do, it can definitely benefit them. They would know how to make better choices, and it would put them in a better spot. Another one would be to set up a budget.
