I had the same question after watching Cathy Wood of Ark Invest’s jobs report yesterday. My thought being “isn’t higher wages a good thing, and can help people weather inflation?”
As others have said, there are better ways the fed can go about dealing with inflation than wanting the average person to have lower wages. It’s frustrating.
