0:00.0 | Welcome to the Real Estate Strategies podcast, where we host in-depth conversations on everything |
0:07.8 | real estate with the industry's biggest movers and shakers. I'm your host, Ken McElroy, joined by my |
0:13.9 | co-host, Daniel. Let's get right into this episode. Hello, welcome to the Ken McRoy show. |
0:20.1 | I'm your host, DeNeil, here with Ken. Hello, everybody to the Ken Macquarie show. I'm your host, Danielle, here with Ken. |
0:22.3 | Hello, everybody. So today we are talking about why the Fed is getting worried. |
0:29.2 | Who is it? My gosh, not just the Fed. It's funny. I don't think that people believed that the Fed was going to do what they've |
0:40.8 | done, which is they've raised rates six times since March. Yeah. So, so something interesting, |

1:45.7 | you know we're over eight right now. It was interesting. The employment numbers came out last |
1:51.1 | week and they were actually pretty positive. I think we're at 3.7% unemployment. But lots of |
1:59.1 | criticism around that. You know, one of of the one of the tweets I read was what |
2:04.1 | what Biden's failing to say is that there were up 200,000 in part-time jobs and down over 400,000 |
