Matthew Klein: Labor market strength exceeds Federal Reserve expectations
Labor market stronger than Fed thought

Matthew Klein observes that the labor market is performing more strongly than Federal Reserve officials had anticipated. He also points out that the apparent slowdown in wage growth is limited to a single idiosyncratic sector.

Klein previously argued that U.S. inflation remains persistent, highlighting wage growth and calculation issues that may influence official data. In a separate note, he suggested the Treasury might consider buying yen and possibly Korean won as a potential intervention in currency markets. These points add context to his recent remarks on labor market strength.
