Kansas City Fed President Jeff Schmid has made wide-ranging remarks:,

and he's still going, more:

  • Seeing a pause in labor conditions
  • Businesses are trying to delay hiring to get through the current situation
  • Hard to understand how the US dollar would not be the world's reserve currency for a long, long time

-

The Federal Reserve has, as part of its mandate, a responsibility to move the economy towards full employment. The labor market has stumbled, hence Schmid's concern. the 'current situation' is a diplomatic way to refer to the volatile, ill-informed, inept policies coming out of the White House.
