NYT's Smialek: 'Too Hot' Labor Market 'a Recipe for Higher Inflation' and 'Bad News' for Fed

On Friday's broadcast of CNN's "At This Hour," New York Times Federal Reserve and Economy Reporter Jeanna Smialek stated that while the September jobs report is "a baby step in the right direction." Things are "still too hot" for the Federal Reserve's liking and the labor market is "still a recipe for higher inflation over time. And so, I think from Chair Powell's perspective, the Fed Chair's perspective, this is still bad news."
