Peter Atwater, an economics lecturer and financial analyst, argues that the US economy is increasingly divided between wealthy and struggling consumers, with inflation and AI-driven job displacement pressuring lower-income households and potentially influencing midterm election outcomes.
Outlook for Future is 'Divided' Between Sides of 'K-Shaped' Economy, Says Peter Atwater
Peter Atwater, president at Financial Insyghts and lecturer at William & Mary College, said that the top and bottom of the 'K-shaped economy' have become two vastly different experiences with 'nothing in common' as consumers on the bottom leg of the 'K' feel the daily impact of war fueled inflation and a labor market impacted by AI. Atwater says that the affordability crunch at the bottom of the 'K' will likely result in political turnover in midterm elections this fall. (Source: Bloomberg)
