Economists predict the US economy will grow in 2026, but high unemployment is expected to persist. AI investments are fueling expansion without boosting hiring, causing labor market stagnation. The fear and greed index reflects mixed signals as wage growth slows and job opportunities shrink. College-educated workers and non-healthcare employees are especially affected. Altcoins to watch may react to policy shifts, as the Fed cuts rates and Trump-era trade policies ease. Black unemployment hit 8.3% in November 2025, the highest since 2019.
