Recent analysis by BlockBeats has flagged a significant decline in the U.S. labor market, with data revisions indicating a job loss of 258,000 in May and June alone. This figure surpasses the population of Scottsdale, Arizona. As 2023 progresses, employment figures have been adjusted downward by a staggering 461,000 positions. Several indicators point to a potential labor market collapse. This situation raises questions about the Federal Reserve’s next move regarding interest rates, with some experts suggesting it could further reduce them in an attempt to combat inflation. However, this may lead to challenges for individuals without significant assets who could face similar struggles as post-pandemic times. Additionally, wage growth is predicted to lag behind inflation, potentially exacerbating the wealth gap. Notably, historically, when the Federal Reserve has lowered interest rates below 2%, the S&P 500 index has experienced a remarkable average growth of 13.9% over the following year. This trend may lead asset owners towards gains comparable to those seen in 2021.
