Employment FAQ
Occupational market conditions are a key element to assess the health of an economy and therefore a key engine for the assessment of currencies. High employment, or low unemployment, has positive implications for consumer spending and therefore economic growth, increasing the value of the local currency. In addition, a very tight labor market – a situation in which there is a shortage of workers to fill the open positions – can also have implications on the levels of inflation and therefore monetary policy as a low offer of labor and high demand leads to higher wages.
The pace to which wages increase in an economy is essential for decision -makers. High wages growth means that households have more money to spend, which generally leads to an increase in consumer goods prices. Unlike more volatile sources of inflation such as energy prices, wage growth is considered to be a key component of underlying and persistent inflation because salary increases are unlikely to be canceled. Central banks around the world pay particular attention to data on wage growth during the decision of monetary policy.
The weight that each central bank attributes to labor market conditions depends on its objectives. Some central banks explicitly have mandates linked to the labor market beyond control of inflation levels. The American Federal Reserve (Fed), for example, has the double mandate to promote maximum employment and stable prices. Meanwhile, the only single mandate of the European Central Bank (ECB) is to keep inflation under control. However, and despite all the mandates they have, labor market conditions are an important factor for decision -makers, given its importance as a gauge in the health of the economy and their direct relationship with inflation.
