4 US Macro Overview November 15, 18

5 Overview Growth in the US has firmed since 16 with real GDP up 3% over the four-quarters ending in 18Q3. Fiscal stimulus is contributing to this pick up in growth. Several indicators suggest that the economy is at or near full employment, with clearer evidence that the rate of increase of wages/compensation has moved higher. Underlying inflation has moved up to the FOMC s objective of %. But at this time we do not see evidence of building inflation pressures. 1

34 Regional Economic Conditions Jaison R. Abel Upstate New York Regional Advisory Board Meeting November 15, 18 The views expressed here are those of the presenter and do not necessarily represent those of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the Federal Reserve System.

35 Overview of Regional Conditions Growth in the region s manufacturing sector has remained fairly brisk, while growth has slowed to a modest pace in the broader services sector. Labor markets have tightened throughout the region, even in parts of upstate New York with little or no job growth through the expansion. Businesses report increasingly widespread escalation in input prices and, to a lesser extent, selling prices, in part due to recent changes in U.S. trade policy. FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK 1
