Why Job Openings Are Surging While Inflation Stays Sticky
The April JOLTS report showed 7.6 million job openings, the highest in nearly two years. Lucas and Luna unpack what this means for inflation: why a hot labor market keeps service prices elevated, how the Fed reads this data, and what it signals for rate cuts in the second half of 2026. They connect the surge to specific service categories like rent and insurance, and explain why the job market is the key missing piece in the inflation puzzle. No broad macro — just a sharp look at one number and its ripple effects through the CPI basket.
