Federal Reserve Keeps Interest Rates High Despite Low Unemployment Rates and Tepid Wage Growth
The labor market is showing signs of strength, even amid high interest rates. Despite a slight decline in jobless claims last week, the numbers are still historically low.

However, they must ensure that the labor market remains strong enough to support a continued slowdown in wage growth.
