Fed's Goolsbee: Jobs reports like this will give us confidence the economy not overheating

  • The more jobs reports you get this way, the more confident we are that the economy isn't overheating
  • A bump in inflation hit at the beginning of the year
  • The more we see jobs reports that look like pre-Covid, the more confidence there will be that the economy is not overheating.
  • The Fed should be relieved that recent inflation is not a sign of a return to acceleration
  • What happened in the labor market this year should be recalibrated based on estimates of higher immigration rates but we are still trying to analyze that
  • We have some cross-currents, there's no doubt about that
  • Are we on the long arc from last year where we saw inflation fall steadily or in a different environment?
  • If we remain constrained in this way for too long, we will surely think about the functional aspect of delegation
  • Business communication in manufacturing suggests “more of the same” in a decent environment
  • We don't hear much input about supply chain bottlenecks anymore
  • We didn't have an advanced look at the job numbers

He did not offer much here and the market did not react to his statements.
