Lucas and Luna preview the May jobs report due this Friday, June 12, 2026. They dig into the ADP private payrolls number of 122,000, the surprising strength in services hiring, and what the Fed's focus on wage growth means for the interest rate outlook. They also discuss why the New York Fed's household survey showing rising financial anxiety complicates the narrative. A focused, data-driven conversation for anyone trying to understand what the Fed actually pays attention to in the monthly jobs data.
