Heritage Foundation chief economist EJ Antoni joins ‘Making Money’ to discuss the August jobs report and its potential impact on Federal Reserve interest rate decisions.

Reuters Econ World Host Carmel Crimmins says a sharp rise in U.S. job growth in August points to a still stable labor market, keeping an interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve this month on the table.

A surprise jump in US hiring last month has bolstered the case for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates when they meet later this month, but a hike is still not guaranteed.

A stronger-than-expected August jobs report has increased bets that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates at its Sept. 15-16 meeting.

Millions of Social Security beneficiaries will get a major new clue about their 2027 benefit increase in less than a week. Fresh inflation data for the month of August will be released on September 11,

Current estimates are calling for a larger Social Security COLA in 2027 than the raise that came through this year. Even if that ends up happening, that COLA may not actually keep up with real-world costs for seniors.

Social Security's 2027 COLA forecast recently got a downgrade. Even if the COLA comes in higher than expected, it may not hold up well to inflation in practice. Retirees can cope by working part-time and reducing expenses.

Estimates are currently calling for a 3.4% to 3.6% COLA. Unless inflation cools drastically, next year's raise could come in much higher than this year's 2.8% boost. A large COLA will come at the cost of higher prices in the near term.

In a speech Thursday morning, Fed governor Christopher Waller made a strong case for the Fed to hold rates steady.

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said on Thursday (September 3) that if upcoming data confirms inflation pressures are cooling off, he is inclined to argue in favor of keeping interest rates steady at the U.

Fed Chair Kevin Warsh said last week at the Fed’s annual economic symposium that inflation hasn’t shown sufficient improvement and the central bank might have “more work to do."

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said his next decision on interest rates will be “heavily influenced” by August inflation data due next week, adding it may not take much to nudge him toward supporting a rate hike at the Fed’s upcoming policy meeting.
