Right now, there's not really much for the Fed to worry about.
The labor market is more or less in balance with respect to supply and demand.
There's still uncertainty out there that's causing workers not to quit and also companies not to lay off people or hire them.
And I think that for the most part, the unemployment rate has stayed very low because you don't have this churn.
And it's not the case that everyone who's unemployed can't find a new job.
It's very sectoral.

Current situations were worse in terms of their optimism.

When we did take the survey, consumers were still anticipating that the worst of the tariffs have not happened and that there's still going to be an uptick in inflation.
And indeed, the inflation expectations measure was still very elevated in the month.
As soon as tariffs were announced or mentioned, we saw consumer confidence start to fall.
And over the last, uh,
you know 12 to 13 months we've seen a trend downward in confidence again because consumers do understand that tariffs can lead to inflation and higher prices for them.
From our perspective, we only saw a little bit of an uptick in confidence.
And a lot of that was focused on people being a little less morose about the labor market currently.
as well as expectations for business conditions six months forward, as well as the labor market and incomes.
