Fed’s Daly: Fed must watch both sides of mandate

Federal Reserve (Fed) Bank of San Francisco President Mary Daly said on a LinkedIn post on Friday that a low-hiring, low-firing environment may persist, or it may change to a no-hiring, more-firing environment.

Key quotes

We must watch both sides of our mandate. Americans deserve both price stability and full employment.

We've been in a relatively low-hiring, low-firing environment for some time. That may persist, but workers are aware that things could change quickly, leaving them in a no-hiring, more-firing labor market.
