The last time today's expert was on the program back in July, she was concerned about rising unemployment.

Is she still as worried about it as we prepare to enter a new year with a new Administration taking over?

To find out, we have the good fortune to talk today with Dr Anna Wong, Chief U.S. Economist for Bloomberg Economics. Prior to her current role, Anna also worked at the Federal Reserve Board, the White House Council of Economics Advisers, and the U.S. Treasury.

The punchline is that, yes, Anna still expects the unemployment rate to surge higher throughout 2025. That forecast, plus a number of other structural issues we discuss in this interview, makes today’s economy look “very shaky” to her.
