NATION: The United States has disclosed the highest number of job increases during the Biden administration. According to the most recent reports, Bidenomics has been the force behind 15.0m jobs entering the work force in the last 3.5 years. Thats a record number which, today, is being challenged by a diminishing work force--the result of slow job growth.
By Michelle Crawford-Sapenter Today, loan interest rates. the work force and wage growth are, each, determined by the results that are gathered from more than 500 companies studied by leading economic analysts. The elements of economic change are guided by the Federal Reserve and this era's Chief economist, Jerome Powell. The most recent report made by the Fed indicates that Powell has concentrated efforts at decreasing the current inflation rate while, according to the Fed chief, interest rates are not inclined to be raised. That decision by Powell will, eventually, provide some measure of assist to the workforce while, otherwise, employers are likely to benefit by the decrease in hires. The statistics are indicators of what may develop in the next 3 quarters. Powell has disclosed the April results and the future economic outlook ...is about 50/50. On the labor force venue, payrolls only made a slow crawl up from the first quarter and as unemployment increased to 3.9%. The April report explains the slow growth in payrolls and is clearly stated as is the slow to decreasing wage growth. Highers decreased from 315,000 landing below the estimated 240,000 new hires. Job increases have been most noticeable in warehousing, the medical industry and transportation.
While the Fed has indicated that the plan for lowering inflation remains on the table, the event of exp[eriencing a decrease in inflation may creep along at the same slow pace. The status quo in inflation will impact the loans on autos, mortgages and credit cards markets. The effects of lingering high interest rates in those areas will , also. affect banks and other lenders and the existing height of interest rates may continue for more than 20 years.
