Federal Reserve (Fed) Governor Michael Barr spoke at a virtual event for Fed Communities on Thursday, where he claimed that it is becoming increasingly difficult for those who are less well-off to save. Barr added that the low hiring rates in a low-hire, low-fire environment may indicate some impact of AI adoption in certain sectors.

Key takeaways

It is becoming increasingly difficult for those who are less well-off to save, making them more vulnerable to economic shocks.

There is currently a significant gap in the economy between the top 40% and the rest of the population.

The low hiring rates in a low-hire, low-fire environment may indicate some impact of ai adoption in certain sectors.

The Fed must pay attention to ensuring that the job market is solid.

I see a two-speed economy, with wealthier households thriving.

Progress has been made on inflation, but further work remains to be done.”
