Following his prepared remarks, Powell was interviewed by Hutchins Center director David Wessel and took questions from the audience.The Fed chair said there’s an incentive for moderating employment demand. “Right now people’s wages are being eaten up by inflation,” Powell said, while noting wages at the lower end are rising faster than inflation.

“We understand that real wages are not going up for most people,” Powell said. “This labor shortage doesn’t look like it’s going away any time soon.” As a result, Powell expects investment in labor replacement technology.The Fed chair says the natural assumption is to assume inflation will recede, but that hasn’t happened.
