News detail
"While I never make too much of any one data point, today's jobs report reaffirms that the labor market appears to be roughly in balance. The unemployment rate remaining stable at 4.3% is right around my definition of full employment." "By contrast, inflation is telling a different story.

But if recent trends continue, it may soon be appropriate to act."
