42 Source: Labor Market Dynamics and Monetary Policy. Janet L. Yellen. Remarks at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City Economic Symposium. Jackson Hole, WY. August 22, Yellen s Labor Market Dashboard The timing & pace of future federal funds rate increases depend on the labor market s progress towards a full recovery from recessionary impacts (presence of labor slack means the mkt. has NOT recovered yet). Chair Yellen identified numerous factors that are complicating analysis of labor market slack; estimate slack by analyzing 6 indicators: 1. Labor Force Participation Rate 2. Part-time employment for economic reasons (U LONG-TERM ) 3. Labor market flows (i.e. pace of hires & quits) 4. Aging of the workforce & other demographic trends 5. Polarization of jobs at high & low ends of pay & skill spectrums 6. Changes in labor compensation (nominal/real wage changes)

44 Interest Rate (%) NEW [Potential] Monetary Policy Tools? Suggested tools involve using a corridor system, where the federal funds rate is targeted between upper-& lower-bound - set by other rates - such as: 1. The RATE OF INTEREST ON EXCESS RESERVES (IOER) 2. The FIXED-RATE OVERNIGHT REVERSE REPURCHASE FACILITY (ON RRP) At the July 2014 FOMC meeting [m]ost participants anticipated that, at least initially, the IOER rate would be set at the top of the target range for the federal funds rate and the ON RRP rate would be set at the bottom of the federal funds rate range HYPOTHETICAL CORRIDOR SYSTEM Period Source: FOMC Minutes from July 30 th, 2014 Meeting, Produced by: Luke A.
