America is pushing the labour market to its limits
What I find remarkable about this kind of articles is how a situation in which economic activity and employment is going so well that the labor market might shift in favor of employees/workers is described as "the economy is running hot", a self-evidently bad state that sensible economic policy should seek to avoid.<p>I'm kinda baffled by that. I'm no economics major, but this seems to imply that keeping wages low (or at least decoupled from economic growth) is actually a <i>goal</i> of economic policy. Is that true?
