One reason for this is that labor-market flexibility increased during the recovery. Self-employment, short-term contracts, or part-time arrangements account for many of the jobs that have been created over the past few years.
这一现象的一个原因是复苏期间劳动力市场弹性有所增加。自由职业、短期合同工和兼职占了过去几年工作岗位创造的很大一部分。如今，福利俱全的全职工作少见多了。美国劳动力市场的这一持续的“优步化”（Uberization）意味着工资决定过程的平衡已经发生了改变。结果，需求反馈到工资和通胀所需要的时间比以前更长了。
