The effects of inflation on the labor market

Goal: Impact on Employment Market Influence on Employment Market In major developed countries, inflationary pressure will rise if the unemployment rate is low. However, in the recent US economic growth period, although the unemployment rate is very low, prices have stabilized. Inflation is usually defined as an upward trend in the price average. Most people tend to pay attention to it as it decreases the purchasing power of household income.

I think that the most likely cause for low inflation is low domestic labor market and expected decline in inflation. In this article we will explore the latter reasons that inflation expectations are declining. I think that the cancellation of monetary easing by the FOMC over the past few years may be an important factor to promote the decline in inflation expectation. This is not a criticism of the FOMC's previous decision. As explained below, the policy was more rigid and the labor market turned out to be loose than the committee recognized when commencing revoking adaptation. The purpose of this article is to assert that we should learn from lessons learned in recent years and be cautious before we make our policies more severe.

With the emergence of money markets, the transfer of inflation will further penetrate - commodity markets, capital markets, labor markets, and ultimately all the economic organizations are wonderful. This means that in the early days of inflation, there is not enough circumstances to normalize in just one currency market - action in the areas of investment, production, labor relations are necessary. Firstly - economic money growth - the wrong monetary policy that the central bank can adopt, and the result of the budget gap promoting the country to print additional funds. Based on our experience, we know that inflation is caused by insufficient finance in almost every country. Because it is the first option for accepting taxes, the government will print out new funds.

Monetary policy affects inflation in two ways. First, indirect effects, if monetary policy can achieve multiplier effect, it will promote economic activity. Starting the labor and capital markets to increase production beyond production, apply rising pressure on wages, and raise inflation (ie cost-driven inflation). Therefore, the rise in inflation and the decline in the unemployment rate will further raise the inflation rate in the short term. When wages and prices start to rise, it is difficult for them to retreat, underlining the need for early policy measures. Second, monetary policy influences direct inflation through future expectations. To persuade people to raise their wages so that people expect future prices to rise, it will affect prices and will raise inflation.
