3 US Macro Overview September, 17

4 Overview The US economy appears to be regaining its footing after suffering a significant shock beginning in mid to late 1. US labor market is showing classic signs of being at or near full employment yet growth of labor compensation remains surprisingly low. Core inflation has slowed since the beginning of 17. Is this a transitory phenomenon or something more fundamental?

33 Regional Economic Conditions Jaison R. Abel, Research Officer Upstate New York Regional Advisory Board Meeting September, 17 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.

34 Overview Over the past year, the pace of job growth has slowed to a crawl in upstate New York. Western New York has been especially weak, with steep declines in manufacturing, business services, and retail weighing on overall job growth. Focusing on wage inequality, the New York-Northern New Jersey region is home to some of the most unequal and least unequal metros in the country. FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK 1

37 Regional Wage Inequality Wage inequality has increased among all workers since the early 198s. Some places are much more unequal than others, even within our own region. The most unequal places tend to be large metros with strong wage growth for those at the top of the wage distribution. FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK

40 What s Driving Wage Inequality? Technological change and globalization have changed the pattern of demand for workers. Strong demand for skilled workers has resulted in larger wage gains for workers toward the top of the wage distribution. Demand for lesser skilled workers has been weaker, stifling wage growth for workers at the middle and bottom of the wage distribution. Other contributing factors include the decline in unions and the falling real value of the minimum wage. FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK 7

43 Why Are Some Places More Unequal? Differences in Local Demand for Workers Demand for skilled workers has been particularly strong in some metros leading to outsized wage gains for those at the top. Decline in demand for lesser skilled workers has been geographically concentrated, stifling wage growth for workers toward the middle and bottom of the wage distribution. Agglomeration Economies Productivity benefits from clustering together in cities have been particularly strong for skilled workers located in large metros. Migration Skilled workers are increasingly moving to large metros that offer urban amenities and higher wages. FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK 1

47 Summary Wage inequality has increased in nearly every metro since the early 198s, though it has increased much more in some places than others. The most unequal places tend to be large metros with strong demand for skill, agglomeration economies, and appeal for skilled workers (e.g., NYC-NNJ Metro). The least unequal places tend to have lackluster wage growth across the board, due in large part to weak demand (e.g., most metros in upstate New York). FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK 1
