Not Strong Enough

Growth hasn’t been strong enough to reduce the unemployment rate. The U.S. lost 85,000 jobs in December after revisions showed payrolls increased the prior month for the first time in almost two years, a report today from the Labor Department showed. The jobless rate held at 10 percent.

The U.S. Congress has mandated that the Fed pursue low inflation and full employment. The 7.2 million drop in payrolls over the past two years has been the biggest decline as a percentage of total jobs since the end of World War II.

“The labor market could conceivably recover more slowly than many expect, which would restrain consumer spending and dampen growth,” Lacker said. “But household incomes and household confidence could conceivably rebound more vigorously than many expect, in which case consumer spending could expand more briskly.”
