Inflation steadies but hiring slows ahead of midterms
Original: Mixed economic signals emerge as inflation steadies but hiring slows before midterms
New economic readings show inflation holding steady while job growth slows, creating a mixed picture for voters and policymakers weeks before the US midterm elections. Economists say cooling hiring may signal easing demand, but steadier prices could offer relief to households. The contrast is likely to shape campaign debate over which party is better handling the economy.
Why now: The jobs and inflation data land weeks before the US midterm elections, making the economy a central campaign issue.
