----EPISODE #73 TOPICS----
00:58 Some data suggests the US labor market is starting to look - well - tight.
02:08 Expect to hear about labor shortages and bottlenecks for the rest of the year.
02:46 In a bad labor market workers would accept much lower pay. That hasn’t happened.
04:34 Another sign of a tightening labor market: employers having trouble staffing up.
06:59 Why do some numbers suggest labor slack while other numbers suggest it is tight?
09:20 Greg Ip suggests "Only a small share of those labor market dropouts want a job."
14:52 The jobs market is not as bad as we think, therefore there is a risk of inflation.
