Heard on the Street: Jobs are hard to fill and wages are rising, but other factors will persuade the Federal Reserve to hold off on raising interest rates for now

and a pandemic-related shift in perceptions about what work is worthwhile. They all come down to incentives against working. The way for employers to overcome them is to raise the incentives for working, most obviously through wages.

There is some evidence that is beginning to happen. The employment report showed that average hourly earnings rose 0.5% from a month earlier, topping the 0.2% gain economists expected. That is particularly impressive since the biggest job gains were in the leisure and hospitality sector—lower-paying jobs that tend to put downward pressure on the average wage figure.

nice

Because that's the basis of Powell? 😃

Buckingham Palace barred minorities from office jobs in '60sBuckingham Palace barred ethnic minorities from office jobs during the 1960s, a newspaper reports, citing documents in Britain’s National Archives. Its not a shock that they have dirty laundry. During ww2 they would blockade any ships fleeing nazis and force them to return. They did this over 50 years ago? You don’t say Like, when everyone was doing stuff like that? And i’m supposed to be mad about this now because why?

This Wall Street recruiter has a plan to boost diversity in sales jobsThe people asset managers hire to sell their funds are mostly white and male. A Wall Street recruiter has a plan to change that. I identify as a celestial anomaly, and I've been pretty successful the past six months. What are my chances? That’s because these whites come from high end universities that cost a fortunes. A fortune that blacks don’t have.. Plus they get to free intern at these places in expensive cities. Also money blacks don’t have. So not the hiring managers. But lack of supply.
