Wolfers shares concerns over the slowing economy and job market

September 5, 2025 CBS News

Following a disappointing jobs report, CBS News turned to the Ford School's Justin Wolfers for insight on what this means for the economy. "There's no question that the economy is slowing, and it's slowed quite dramatically. The real question is if that trajectory continues, because if it continues to slow further, we're getting close to recession territory," Wolfers argued. Considering the jobs report and the current economic state, Wolfers urged, "It's time to pay a little attention and if you're paying attention to be a little worried."
