Fed’s Goolsbee: This is a super jobs report

  • The end of the port strike is another piece of very good news
  • The Fed does not want to react too much to one data point
  • If we get more jobs reports like this, we will be more confident we are settling at full employment
  • Strong jobs report is likely to mean strong GDP
  • We are still a ways off from having to sort out where neutral rate is
  • We have time and runway to figure out where the settling point on the Fed policy rate is
  • We need to try to maintain conditions like they are now
  • It’s hard to say where the neutral rate is but it’s definitely higher than zero
  • The bulk of FOMC participants see it in the 2.5-3.5% range. We’re still a ways off from having to sort that out

He’s happy with the jobs report but certainly not indicating the Fed doesn’t need to cut rates.
