    Jobs report doesn't look good on surface; healthcare hiring weakness is concerning. Fed officials see labor market as weak, with some wanting to act while inflation hawks point to oil prices.
  • Asks about Kevin Hassett's defense of jobs report citing weather and population revisions.
    Carol Massar

    Dismisses Hassett's weather excuse; says report must be taken at face value.
  • Asks if jobs report changes picture for Fed meetings in March and April.

    March 18th meeting: Fed will sit on hands. April decision depends on war and energy prices. Powell's last meeting might argue against dramatic action.
  • Asks if anyone at forum is saying 'stagflation'.
    Carol Massar
  • Michael McKee
    Austin Goolsbee mentioned stagflation, but current oil price move isn't that big historically. If it continues and gets into other products, it could become a crisis. Not likely to see stagflation now, but Fed will mention it as a danger.
