Description
Recent reports point to a robust economy. But polls continue to show the economy is one of the top issues driving voters’ decisions about their presidential pick.
Despite good news about wage growth and a lower unemployment rate, many voters are deeply concerned about inflation and how to bring down the cost of living.
MPR News host Angela Davis and her guests talk about the signs that point to a solid economy, why voters don’t feel better about it and how the presidential candidates plan to address inflation.
Guests:
Chris Farrell is MPR’s senior economics contributor.
Timothy Taylor is an economist and managing editor of the “Journal of Economic Perspectives,” a quarterly academic journal produced at Macalester College and published by the American Economic Association.
