Top analyst says the next 5 years could see ‘no growth in workers at all' and sends a warning about the fate of the U.S. economy
As the U.S. labor market shows clear signs of stalling, one of Wall Street's leading strategists is sounding a sharp warning: With America's workforce in a demographic crunch and historic changes in immigration policy underway, it is 'quite possible that the next five years will see no growth in workers at all.' The implications, according to David Kelly, chief global strategist at JPMorgan Asset Management, are profound for the Federal Reserve and for investors—chief among them, the need for exceptional caution before lowering interest rates. Kelly used his regular 'Notes on the Week Ahead' research note to survey the implications—perhaps assess the damage—of Friday's shocking jobs report, which revised downward job creation in May and June by 258,000 jobs. Furthermore, employers added just 73,000 jobs in July, well below the 110,000 consensus estimate. This left the average monthly increase for the past quarter at a paltry 35,000 jobs. The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2% in July, as both employment numbers and labor force participation slipped further. Kelly also highlighted signs of tightness in the labor market, namely the decline in the labor participation rate from 62.65% in July 2024 to 62.22% in July 2025. That translates to almost 1.2 million fewer people ages 16 and over who are working or actively looking for a job. He attributed about half this decline to Americans aging into retirement, but noted the participation rate has also fallen among those ages 18 to 54. Kelly commented on these signs of labor tightness as pivotal context for the wider question of the labor supply in the economy, with long-running trends implying that the Federal Reserve and embattled Chair Jerome Powell will face major challenges fighting inflation going forward—meaning ever-slimmer chances of the all important rate cut the market wants so much. The worker problem in the economy The aging population and declining labor participation also speak to a deeper, structural challenge that will persist well into the future. According to Census projections, he noted the working-age population will actually contract in coming years without immigration returning to previous levels. Kelly highlights the Census prediction that the population ages 18 to 64 would actually fall by over 300,000 people in the year ending July 2026, and continue to fall at roughly that pace through 2030. He notes that the retirement wave and recent changes to major immigration programs are further sapping labor supply, reducing potential growth. Fed's dilemma: inflation, growth, and political pressure This squeeze comes at a time when the Federal Reserve is under immense political pressure to lower interest rates, with President Trump and his allies calling for easier money to offset the effects of new tariffs and support flagging markets. Yet Kelly argues the central bank must tread carefully, as cutting rates into a structurally tight labor market risks spurring wage and price inflation rather than accelerating economic growth. He observed that U.S. economic growth has averaged 2.1% per year since the beginning of the 21st century, largely driven by a 0.8% annual increase in the workforce. 'Starting from a point of roughly full employment, given the continued retirement of the baby boom and considering the possibility that deportations and voluntary departures of immigrants entirely offset new immigration in the next few years, it is quite possible that the next five years will see no growth in workers at all,' he added. If this happens, the economy will grow more slowly, Kelly predicted, 'but will only be capable of growing more slowly without igniting higher inflation.' For the Fed, the message is clear, he adds: Be extremely cautious about any rate cuts. For investors, it's a warning to temper expectations for rapid economic gains or a sustained bull market driven by easy money. In other words, American 'exceptionalism' isn't a given, going forward. Investors, Kelly said, 'should no longer bet broadly on a strongly rising U.S. economic tide or lower interest rates.' For this story, Fortune used generative AI to help with an initial draft.

Major analyst who forecast stocks' rally sends 3-word message to investors
The stock market has enjoyed major returns since the spring, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq surging over 25% and roughly 40% since April 8, when a brutal sell-off caused oversold signals to flash. The returns are impressive considering the historical average return for the benchmark index is about 10% annually. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Yet cracks may be forming in the rally, given lackluster economic data on inflation and jobs last week sent the S&P 500 tumbling about 3% from its early week highs through Friday. The big question on most investors' minds is whether it makes more sense to buy dips or sell rips (rallies) following the drop. Veteran analyst Tom Lee, Fundstrat's founder and head of research, correctly predicted the rally in April. Over the weekend, he offered up a blunt message for investors. The S&P 500 was arguably due for a break. Before last week's stumble, it had reached all-time highs, lifting its forward price-to-earnings ratio, a key valuation measure calculated by dividing price by earnings, to 22.4, according to FactSet. The last time we had a P/E ratio this high was near February's highs, shortly before the stock market fell by 19% on concerns President Trump's tariff strategy could cause stagflation, a period of no growth and rising inflation, or worse, a recession. Related: Major Wall Street analyst revamps S&P 500 target amid tumble We may not see another near bear market drop this time, but inflation has climbed over the past three months and the latest unemployment data is worrisome, particularly given August isn't known for being overly kind to investors. Since 1950, the average post-Election year return in August is negative 1.2%. Overall, August ranks just 11th out of 12 months for S&P 500 returns, according to the Stock Trader's Almanac. Despite that backdrop, Tom Lee is unfazed, telling Fundstrat clients in a research note over the weekend to "buy the dip." More Wall Street Analysts: Veteran analyst drops surprise call on Tesla ahead of earningsBest Buy analyst, focused on earnings growth, reworks stock price targetVeteran trader posts a major warning for the stock market The long-time Wall Street watcher has been tracking stocks since the 1990s. Lee is best known for his bullish tilt, including accurately predicting stocks bottom in 2023 and the April low. He thinks any August selloff following inflation and jobs data will be short-lived, and that data suggests a friendlier Fed. So far, the Fed has left interest rates unchanged this year, despite cutting them by 1% into the end of 2024. "The economy is solid and soft enough that the Fed needs to make insurance cuts." said Lee, before adding later in the note that Friday was "an "obvious buy the dip moment." Inline with Lee's forecast, the S&P 500 rallied 1.5% on August 4 to 6329.94. That brought it just shy of the July 31 close of 6339.39 before the jobs report. Whether sellers emerge again this week may hinge on how comfortable investors are that the economy will bend, not break, and the Fed will play ball. The inflation data is concerning, given that the Personal Consumption Expenditures index shows it accelerated to 2.6% in June, up from 2.2% in April. The jobs data isn't overly encouraging either, given the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics report showed the US economy added only 73,000 jobs in July, below the 100,000 expected, and previous months were revised sharply lower. Related: Jobs report shocker resets Fed interest rate cut bets "Even more worrisome is that the numbers for the previous two months noted larger-than-normal revisions. The May number decreased to 19,000 from 144,000 and the June number fell to 14,000 from 147,000," noted Fundstrat strategist Hardika Singh. With inflation and unemployment rising, increasing the possibility of stagflation, it's understandable that investors might get a bit antsy. Stocks may have dropped more last week if not for growing optimism that rising unemployment means Fed Chair Jerome Powell will cut rates at the next FOMC meeting on September 17. The latest odds from CME's closely watched FedWatch tool place probabilities of a quarter-percent cut to a range of 4% to 4.25% at about 94%, up from 64% one month ago. An interest rate cut would be good news for stocks, given lower lending rates encourages household and business spending, supporting revenue and profit growth at publicly held companies. That potential may trump any short-term economic concerns. "For now, I see further downside as being short-lived and largely contained," concluded Fundstrat's technical analyst, Mark Newton.
