Economic Uncertainty
Sean Dillon, Chief of Staff, FinPro
Employment plays a pivotal role in consumer spending; when individuals are employed, they are more likely to contribute to the economy, while unemployment stifles this spending power. Understanding actual prices rather than inflation rates is crucial for making informed financial decisions, and addressing energy costs is imperative to lowering prices. As we navigate complex trade dynamics, it's important to view tariffs as a negotiation tool rather than a final goal, ensuring that we remain proactive in our approach to economic challenges.
