This episode looks at how rising unemployment and higher grocery costs are tied to tariffs that push companies to raise prices and cut jobs. From the cost of tomatoes to canned goods weighed down by steel tariffs, Americans are feeling the pressure both at the checkout and in the workplace. At the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaled a potential interest rate cut. His action comes not because of political pressure from the administration but because tariff policies have created real strain on consumers and workers. The Fed’s move shows an effort to support everyday Americans rather than give a political win to the White House.
