There is strong evidence that economies perform better with a tight labor market and, as the International Monetary Fund has shown, lower inequality (and the former typically leads to the latter). Of course, the financiers and corporate executives who pay $1,000 to attend the Jackson Hole meeting see things differently: Low wages mean high profits, and low interest rates mean high stock prices.
强有力的证据表明，劳动力市场状况较紧时，经济表现更好，而国际货币基金组织（IMF）证明，不平等性程度越低，经济表现也越好（劳动力市场状况较紧也常常意味着不平等性程度较低）。当然，花1,000美元出席杰克森霍尔会议的金融家和公司高管有不同看法：低工资意味着高利润，低利率意味着高股价。
