Speech
Labor market slack and monetary policy
Abstract: In a speech to the Boston Economic Club, Federal Reserve Bank of Boston President Eric Rosengren called for a \"patient approach\" to removing the Fed's accommodative monetary policy, given the high numbers of U.S. workers who want full-time work but are currently working part time. He also cited the still-high unemployment rate, and the very low inflation rate.
