Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee said high inflation concerned him more than labour-market weakness, signalling what appears to be his support for Fed rate hike.
“The biggest problem facing our economy right now is not the collapse of industry and the collapse of jobs; it’s that prices have been rising too fast. We got an inflation problem, and people hate inflation,” Goolsbee said in a Wired video published on Tuesday and recorded on June 22.
