The December 2021 Jobs Report + Predicting 2022

The December 2021 Jobs Report was a disappointment with 210,000 jobs added as analysts and politicians feared the slowing down of the job market. With the new Omicron COVID-19 variant now taking hold, worries are accelerating, but what's next is really anyone's guess.

With the year that was, who knows what the new year will bring. Will there be more inflation? Will the Federal Reserve raise interest rates and disrupt the cheap money we've enjoyed for some time? How will the 2022 US midterm elections go? With so many questions, this is sure to be interesting.
