U.S. Federal Reserve's 6.5% unemployment target with 2% inflation announced by Bernanke in Dec. 2012
01/27/2009
The U.S. Fed's chairman Bernanke says the Fed will keep rates low till unemployment reaches 6.5% citing "the tremendous waste in human potential" of high unemplyment rates. As long as inflation remains subdued at 2% the Fed will continue its current policy of low rates. In 2013 the Fed will continue bond buying at the rate of $85 billion a month. If unemployment drops to 6.5%, but this is because more people are dropping out of the labor market the Fed will take this into account, says Bernanke. The Fed will also keep an eye out for asset bubbles in the economy.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
