Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Christopher Phelan tells Yahoo Finance’s Jennifer Schonberger the September jobs report, which showed 29,000 jobs added according to the Labor Department, was better than it looks, and that the unemployment rate barely moved as more people joined the labor force. Phelan says AI has not yet shown up as a job killer in the data, explains why he doesn’t think the AI investment boom is inflationary, and repeats his view that the Federal Reserve’s September rate hike was a mistake, pushing back on Bill Ackman’s argument that higher rates won’t slow AI demand.
