    The Fed and wage growth

    Here is an interesting video from the Compound talking about where inflation and the market may go and how it really hinges on unemployment. It is a bit long but you can fast forward to the part where they analyze wage growth and its relationship to unemployment and whether that is going to hold true this time.

    I know nothing about stocks/investment or the S&P and I found this very interesting even though I had to google what some of it even meant. To me it seems like the fed is in a staring contest with the big employers and the American consumer. The fed’s really trying to pump the brakes to slow the economy versus pull the emergency parachute but if businesses don’t lay off consumer confidence will stay strong unless people feel the risk of loosing their jobs.
    Question I have, and again forgive my lack of understanding on this, why does raising rates put pressure on the economy exactly? Is it strictly because we as a society are tied to credit and can’t afford to spend if the interest is too high?
