ECB officials, who set rates based on expectations for inflation a year or more in the future, have said they're concerned that faster economic growth and the euro's slide, which boosts the cost of imports, will prompt companies to raise prices. The region's money supply, a gauge of inflationary trends that the ECB tracks, expanded at a record pace in April. ``There's a growing need for action'' by the ECB, said Otmar Lang, an economist at Deutsche Bank Global Markets Research. quote.bloomberg.com

The market may be right that the economy is slowing but the 357 thousand temporary workers hired by Census will not be around to be hired for anything else. Higher incentives will be needed to hire those remaining unemployed. The 100k jobs that were lost may well have belonged to those now working for the Census. Greenspan only cares about inflationary concerns and with total employment up, things are more inflationary than ever.
