Fisher Investments’ Founder, Ken Fisher, Debunks: “High Unemployment Is a Killer”

Ken Fisher, founder, Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Investment Officer of Fisher Investments reviews a chapter from his book, Debunkery, where he debunks the false belief that unemployment numbers are a useful tool to assess how stocks will perform. According to Ken, employment data are backward-looking and don't predict future stock market movements. Ken breaks down the counterintuitive relationship between unemployment and the stock market, explaining how stocks typically begin to rise late in a recession while unemployment is still climbing. Ken reveals unemployment can rise during economic expansions as more people re-enter the workforce looking for jobs.
