BlockBeats News, April 4th. In his article titled "Fed Up Close," Nick Timiraos pointed out that 178,000 new jobs were added in March, reversing the sharp decline seen in February. The unemployment rate also decreased to 4.3%. However, some details are less optimistic, with wage growth for ordinary workers slowing to the lowest year-on-year increase in five years since the pandemic. Averaging these two volatile months can provide a clearer view of the underlying trend: an average of only 22,500 new jobs per month. Two years ago, adding 22,500 jobs per month would have been enough to raise alarm bells; now, this level may still be considered acceptable. Federal Reserve officials are still trying to explain this change. San Francisco Fed President Daly wrote on Friday: "It is not easy to make the public understand that a zero job growth economy is still consistent with full employment." This situation is particularly fragile in the face of a new supply shock. If the Iran war continues and high fuel costs or commodity shortages squeeze businesses and consumers, the labor market will lack buffers to absorb the impact. At the same time, the Fed's policy space is even more limited due to inflation concerns potentially weakening the certainty of rate cuts.
