U.S. Fed chairman Bernanke tells a IMF conference on financial crises in Nov 2013 that the unemployment rate of 7.3% does not reflect the problems in the labor market, which require strong action to improve job creation. He says the level of student debt is a serious issue that also needs to be taken into account.
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.

The job crisis for employment of men in the U.S.

The participation rate in the job market for men between 16-64 is dropping over time. It was 85% in the 1950's and has dropped continually after each recession. It is now at 65%. More and more men simply drop out of the labor market after failing to find jobs, creating a disturbing trend for the country. This does not show up in improving unemployment statistics.

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.
