Robert Wolf: Long term unemployment and economic growth concerns rise amid stagflation fears
Unemployment and stagflation risks increase

Robert Wolf raises concerns about the pace of long term unemployment and discouraged workers, noting these are at record levels. He points out that economic growth has significantly underperformed compared to predictions during the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump.

With the latest job numbers and ongoing inflation worries, Wolf adds that discussion around stagflation among economists is increasing, which he argues could have harsh economic consequences.

Wolf has previously addressed regulatory topics, including his view that attorneys general should approve the Paramount–Warner Bros. merger. In an earlier article, he also emphasized the need for evidence-based antitrust review by state authorities regarding major corporate deals. Wolf’s commentary continues to focus on policy and economic oversight.
