President of the Fed eral Reserve Bank of Chicago Austan Goolsbee noted on Thursday that housing inflation remains a key sticking point in price growth, and that the US labor market remains quite strong.

Key highlights Issue now is whether the US will face a traditional trade off between inflation and unemployment.
Extremely important that the Fed hit its 2% inflation target since it has centered expectations around that number. The strongest part of the economy right now is the job market.
