There are a lot of vacant jobs out there. But throw together the toxic mix where benefits rose faster than wages over the last decade, transport costs prohibitive, people getting a flavour of not working through furlough etc and it is not much wonder some now chose not to work.

Central banks are risking the best jobs market in a generation\n\t\t\tLet our global subject matter experts broaden your perspective with timely insights and opinions you\n\t\t\tcan’t find anywhere else.\n\t\t wtf? you think they should let inflation run? This from FT, you’re better than that. Central Banks have fueled the greatest market bubble since the .com fiasco, QE/ZIRP to infinity isn’t going to work out very well! I don't agree with that at all. You can't let inflation run just because the labor market takes a hit. Inflation of up to 10 percent and more will hurt the economy and society more than a cooling of the labor market. IMHO: Very short-sighted view in this opinion piece
