Institutions: Expect Weakness in the Job Market to Outpace Federal Reserve Expectations

Pantheon Macroeconomics analyst Samuel Tombs stated that the Federal Reserve will soon be concerned about "an oversupply of labor and weak wage growth." He noted that the increase in job vacancies in the November JOLTS report was unexpected, but there are signs that employment costs are cooling. Tombs pointed out that the resignation rate dropped from 2.1% to 1.9%, "indicating a greater slowdown in (employment cost) growth." "Therefore, the average hourly wage growth of 0.4% for two consecutive months appears to be noise around a still-slowing trend." Tombs expects the average hourly wage to slow in the non-farm payroll data for December, which will be released on Friday. (Jin Shi)
