Ultimately, the question we're facing is whether the Federal Reserve will have to "engineer a recession," UNC professor Christian Lundblad said.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO THAT REPORT. LESLIE MORENO LIVE IN RALEIGH. THANK YOU, LESLIE. >> NEW NUMBERS OUT TODAY SHOW JOBS IN THE COUNTRY INCREASED. BUT NOW ONE ECONOMIST SAYS THE FEDERAL RESERVE MIGHT HAVE TO MAKE ITS OWN RECESSION TO SLOW INFLATION MORE JOBS IS NORMALLY A POSITIVE PIECE OF NEWS, BUT IT COULD CREATE BIGGER PROBLEMS FOR THE ECONOMY DOWN THE ROAD. WRAL'S ADAM OWENS EXPLAINS WHAT THESE NEW NUMBERS MEAN FOR YOU TODAY. AND IN THE FUTURE. >> IT IS A SOBERING THOUGHT. THE RECESSION IS SOMETHING PEOPLE WANT TO AVOID. BUT NOW A LOCAL EXPERT SAYS ONE MAY NEED TO BE FORCED TO REBALANCE THIS ECONOMY. >> ONE COULD ASK A QUESTION IF THE FED HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO ENGINEER A RECESSION. THAT QUESTION SAYS A LOT ABOUT WHERE THE ECONOMY IS RIGHT NOW, PARTICULARLY SINCE IT COMES ALONGSIDE NORMALLY GOOD ECONOMIC NEWS. >> THE U.S. ADDED MORE THAN 260,000 JOBS IN OCTOBER THAT TITANS OF THE LABOR MARKET. AND THAT CAN MEAN HIGHER PAYCHECKS FOR WORKERS. BUT TO MAKE UP FOR IT, BUSINESSES MAY MOVE TO RAISE PRICES MAKING INFLATION WORSE. THE IDEA THERE IS TO SLOW THAT DOWN AND WAY HOPEFULLY AS NOT TO DISRUPT IT. UNC FINANCE PROFESSOR CHRISTIAN LINDBLAD SAYS THE FED HAS ATTEMPTED TO DO THAT BY RAISING INTEREST RATES A HALF DOZEN TIMES THIS YEAR. THIS WEEK THEY WERE BUMPED UP THREE-QUARTERS OF A PERCENT. AND IT SEEMS IT MAY NOT BE THE LAST WE THINK WE HAVE A WAYS TO GO. WE HAVE SOME GROUND TO COVER WITH INTEREST RATES IF THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CONTINUE TO RAISE RATES TO FORCE AN ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN AND THAT WILL CREATE SOME PAIN FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD. >> YOU KNOW, FOR A SUBSTANTIVE NEIGHBORS THAT WILL BE DISPLACED. >> STILL, FED CHAIRMAN JEROME POWELL BELIEVES CONTINUED RISING INFLATION WOULD BE WORSE. AND ALL THESE MOVES TO REBALANCE OUR ECONOMY. WE COULD MOVE TO RECESSION. >> PROFESSOR LYNN, GLAD ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE UPCOMING ELECTION AND WHAT EFFECT THAT MAY HAVE ON THE ECONOMY. HE SAYS WHICHEVER WAY IT GOES, THERE WILL STILL BE DIVISIVENESS IN WASHINGTON AND THAT UNCERTAINTY IS NOT GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY. ADAM OWENS, WRAL NEWS. >> AND WHILE THESE NUMBERS SHOW MORE PEOPLE ARE GETTING BACK INTO THE LABOR MARKET, THOSE PARTICULARLY 55 AND OLDER ARE NOT. ONEBLOOD SAYS THEY MAY HAVE RETIRED AND MOVED ON AROUND THE PANDEMIC. THOSE LOST
