Two measurements tell two stories about the strength of U.S. employment. An office in Manhattan this year.Jeenah Moon for The New York Times Job alerts Here’s something pretty much anyone who follows economic data closely can agree on: The U.S. labor market is hot, but cooling. What’s less clear is just how hot it is, or how fast it’s cooling down. That question matters a lot to Federal Reserve policymakers trying to find a way to bring inflation under control without causing a recession. In today’s newsletter, I want to take you through two measures that offer subtly but importantly different answers. Consider this chart: Data is through September 2022 and seasonally adjusted. | Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics The top line, in blue, shows the number of job openings that employers are trying to hire workers for. It shows a labor market that is extraordinarily strong and has only recently begun to cool. The bottom line, in yellow, shows the number of people who voluntarily quit their jobs each month. Many economists consider that statistic to be a key barometer of the strength of the labor market. It suggests the labor market is strong, and not so far out of line with historical patterns. I’ll explain more about these numbers and why I’m highlighting them in a moment. First, though, it’s worth understanding why these questions matter in the first place. Supply and demand The biggest problem facing the economy right now is that prices are rising much too quickly. That dynamic stems partly from the lingering effects of the pandemic, which continue to disrupt international supply chains, and global forces, like the war in Ukraine, which has pushed up the price of food and energy. Most economists agree that rapid inflation is also at least partly the result of excessive demand: American consumers want more cars, airline tickets and restaurant meals than companies can produce, pushing up prices. The Fed is trying to tamp down demand by raising interest rates, which makes borrowing money more expensive for consumers and businesses. Yesterday, [the central bank announced](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlRiGcP0TuaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8xMS8wMi9idXNpbmVzcy9mZWRlcmFsLXJlc2VydmUtaW50ZXJlc3QtcmF0ZXMtaW5mbGF0aW9uLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIyMTEwMyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD03NjQwOSZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTExODc0JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpjX5ycY2P2NbrNUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) it would raise rates by three-quarters of a point for the fourth time since June. That move was widely expected. But experts are less in agreement about what the Fed will do in the months ahead. Some economists argue it should hold off on further rate increases and see whether inflation begins to ease. Others say the Fed should keep going until its efforts clearly have an effect. Which path policymakers choose depends in part on how Jerome Powell, the Fed chair, and his colleagues view the labor market. If companies keep adding jobs and raising pay, inflation is likely to remain high, and the Fed is likely to remain aggressive in its fight to tame it. If job growth stalls and unemployment rises, the Fed could pause sooner to avoid causing a recession. So far, the Fed seems firmly on the side of those who see the job market as too hot. Powell said yesterday that any talk of a pause in rate increases is “premature.” Job openings For the past year, the Fed has been focused on one measure of the labor market in particular: job openings. Powell has repeatedly noted that there are roughly twice as many vacant jobs as unemployed workers available to fill them. The logic behind Powell’s attention on job openings is simple. They are a direct measure of demand, since employers typically don’t try to hire when no one is buying their products. And they have a clear connection to wage growth — and therefore inflation — because when lots of companies are hiring, they have to pay more to compete for workers. Fed officials have been hoping that as interest rates rise, companies would respond by cutting back on recruitment. So far, we’ve seen only limited evidence of such a trend. Some economists, however, have begun questioning the Fed’s focus on job openings. Other signals, like the unemployment rate, show the labor market is strong, but not nearly as strong as openings would imply. Quitting time Which brings us to our second indicator: what economists call quits. You probably read about the “great resignation,” the surge in people leaving their jobs as the economy re-emerged from Covid-induced lockdowns. The phenomenon was real, but the narrative often missed a crucial element: Most weren’t quitting to sit on the couch. They were taking other, usually better-paying, jobs. Economists see quitting as a sign of confidence among workers: Changing jobs is a risk, so people avoid doing so if they’re worried about the economy. And since people typically don’t jump employers without a bump in pay, job-switching contributes to wage growth. [Data released yesterday from ADP](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlRiGcP0TsaHR0cHM6Ly9wYXlpbnNpZ2h0cy5hZHAuY29tLz9fZ2E9Mi45NjIwMDQxMi4xNTg1Njg0NTU3LjE2Njc0MDk4NzItMjAwMTk4MjE0MC4xNjY3NDA5ODcyJmNhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMjExMDMmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9NzY0MDkmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTExMTg3NCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKY1-cnGNj9jW6zVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA), the payroll-processing giant, showed that people who switched jobs in October saw their pay rise roughly twice as quickly as people who stayed put. In late 2020 and early 2021, resignations and job openings rose roughly in tandem. But then the number of people quitting began to level off, even as openings kept rising. Americans are still changing jobs more than they were before the pandemic, but only modestly so. So if openings suggest the labor market is a raging inferno, resignations imply it is more like an uncomfortably hot day.

Flesch reading score

Flesch reading score measures how complex a text is. The lower the score, the more difficult the text is to read. The Flesch readability score uses the average length of your sentences (measured by the number of words) and the average number of syllables per word in an equation to calculate the reading ease. Text with a very high Flesch reading ease score (about 100) is straightforward and easy to read, with short sentences and no words of more than two syllables. Usually, a reading ease score of 60-70 is considered acceptable/normal for web copy.
