She’s the woman behind the famous Sahm Rule — an economic indicator that flags when a recession is ahead — and on a day we saw a slowdown in hiring and just one day prior to the new jobs report, Claudia Sahm, who spent 12 years as an economist at the Fed, sits down with Maggie Lake and gives her expert insights into jobs and “job hugging”, a potential recession, AI and an insider’s view into Kevin Warsh and the new Fed. If you want to know what’s ahead, it’s a must see interview. 💡 Claudia Sahm explains why a recession isn't her base case—but that doesn't mean investors should be complacent.
