Fed 2 Percent Inflation Goal

A strong job market continues to create challenges for the Fed to reach its 2% inflation goal. Inflation remains sticky and has even reaccelerated in certain parts of the economy, especially in a few service sectors. However, the unemployment rate may not be the key or the Fed’s focus.
