WHAT'S DRIVING OUR ECONOMY?

Students working on robots

Maryland gains 5,600 jobs. Unemployment up to 2.8%.

Nationally, the latest inflation data from BLS shows a 3.0% year-to-year inflation rate, a significant improvement from the rate reported in May, and is due in part to slight decrease in overall prices between May and June. Between this decreased inflation and a rising national unemployment rate, economists are predicting that the Federal Open Market Committee may finally make their first cut to interest rates in the near future.
