Definition: In this task, a passage will be given and the goal is to identify an event from the passage. An event is defined as a single word representing something that happened, is happening, or may happen. An event can be factual or hypothetical, positive or negative, certain or uncertain. While most events are based on verbs, an event can also be based on a noun (ex. storm, snow, rainfall) or a copula verb (is, was, been, etc.). The event must not be a pronoun or an adjective. For noun events with multiple words, use the last word in the phrase as event.
Input: Passage: While this highlighted concerns about a tight labor market and inflation, it also suggested economic growth is not faltering. "The two straight weeks of nice declines reinforces the belief that companies are holding on to employees in anticipation of an economic rebound, despite recent numbers showing a slowdown in activity," said John Wilson, equity strategist at Morgan Keegan.
