Hiring down and inflation up is stagflation isn't it?

CPI is up even more ... and jobs numbers are continually being revised down

Hiring down and inflation up is stagflation isn't it?

At what point does the M$M declare we're in the stagflation economy?

Seems most financial talking heads are doing everything they can **NOT** to say that word.

Your take?

Stagflation is an economic condition defined by high inflation, stagnant economic growth (stagnation), and high unemployment occurring simultaneously.

The stock market is not a factor.
