This really looks bad. Check the rise in prices paid while employment declined. How in the hell are prices paid rising under the rest of the conditions shown by this report? Employment is still too high to impact the propensity to inflate under a loose monetary policy.

FED has to raise rates if they want employment to rise later!

That's heresy. Instead, they'll keep pumping and that will add to rising prices while employment falls more.
