As 2022 draws to a close, we're thinking about which single economic story captured the year. Was it growing interest rates? Increased credit card spending? Problems with the supply chain? Mixed signals in the labor market?
Today on Planet Money — in the spirit of family rivalry – Planet Money hosts Jeff Guo and Sarah Gonzalez are joined by Adrian Ma and Wailin Wong, hosts of our sibling podcast, The Indicator. The four hosts compete, Family Feud style, over which economic indicator defined the year.
Tell us who won! You can submit your vote via Twitter or email us with "Indicator of Indicators" in the subject line.
This episode was produced by Brittany Cronin. It was engineered by Maggie Luthar and Robert Rodriguez. It was fact-checked by Dylan Sloan and edited by Kate Concannon.
Music: "Terry and Mildred," "Groovy Mushrooms," and "Don't Let Me Down."
