@cnbc: With fears of higher oil prices heating up inflation while weakening growth, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said that he wouldn’t use the term “stagflation” to describe the U.S. economy. Find more on what Powell said at the #linkinbio or the link on screen. #CNBC
“I’d reserve stagflation for the situation we’ll find ourselves in in about 8 months”

they are not capturing the true number of unemployed people.

He’s actually right. Below 5% unemployment and 3% inflation is hardly anything to cry about.

Because the unemployment numbers aren’t accurate. It doesn’t capture people who have turned to working gigs to try to keep their heads above water. There are millions who cannot land permanent, full time jobs with benefits and they are not being captured in the unemployment numbers.

Employment as we measure it no longer reports meaningfully on the economic health of the working class.

the markets they use to calculate inflation do not include things like groceries so this feels disingenous

its stagflation when you know that all of GDP growth for the past 20-25 years has been because of government spending.

unemployment may be down but with rents as high as they are, gas prices going up, and groceries through the roof, it's hard to feel like the economy is really in a good place for the average person

Sure, inflation is 1%. How about when the price of groceries jumped up 30-50% after COVID and never really went down yet all our wages stayed the same?

This guy is a fuckin genius and there’s no one I’d rather have in charge of the Fed. He’ll be studied in college economics courses for decades.

Avery Immordino :
The Fed measures inflation differently than they did in the 70s. They don’t take energy and grocery prices into account anymore, and unemployment numbers don’t include people who have given up looking for jobs. Interested to see what he would say if the accurate numbers were reported
