Joe, Thread,

A few stats:

whitehouse.gov

It's interesting to note that the US capacity utilization rate is about average for recent history, while unemployment is on the low-end although our labor force is at an all-time high. There may not be enough able bodies to get capacity rates much higher given sufficient world demand.

Its also interesting to note that employment costs tend to spike up quickly and come down gradually. The Fed has a good reason to be concerned here; they have no time to react when these costs jump.

Wages will be going up at faster rates than in the past. The only way for goldilocks to further let down her hair is for forced labor movements due to acceleration in displaced workers.

Should the Fed tighten? The markets say not at this time.

Cheers to all,
Lee
