Companies are doing more with less, and the market is taking notice… In this episode of Stocks in Translation, RSM Chief Economist Joe Brusuelas joins host Jared Blikre and Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Brooke DiPalma to discuss the surprising paradox between rising productivity and slowing hiring. Brusuelas explains how gains in workforce efficiency are driving economic growth even as job growth lags, and what this means for investors, interest rates, and the broader market. The discussion also touches on long-term debt yields and fiscal trends shaping today’s economy. Twice a week, Stocks In Translation cuts through the market mayhem, noisy numbers and hyperbole to give you the information you need to make the right trade for your portfolio.
