This week jobs, next week inflation for April. #Inflation will be hot - y/y will easily exceed 3%, could nip at 4%, strongest since 2011. Some will use the term “stagflation” which was coined in 1973-75 recession to describe ⬆️ inflation & ⬆️ unemployment. That will be wrong.

Covid and TX freeze caused shortages in semiconductors and plastics, higher prices for oil, wood, copper etc, upended shipping and supply chains. Will folks who have been wrong about inflation start saying circumstantial price increases prove them right? wsj.com/articles/one-week-te…

Boston friends, toss one of your City Council at Large votes to @votehalbert. He’s a great guy and one of the more thoughtful people I’ve ever known.

I’ve hired a few people in my time. I’ve never been disappointed by hiring someone who is less technical but is a great human who cares for others. I can teach tech pretty easily. But boy have I seen people who are strong technical people with toxic attitudes destroy a team.

Headline #jobs number of 130K is really 105K when one subtracts the 25K census workers. Private payrolls are down from 131K in July to 96K in August. The 3 month moving average for private payrolls is now below 150k vs above 200k for most of 2018. #FOMC #recessionwatch
