Fed officials are eyeing another rate hike if inflation doesn’t cool, warning that waiting too long could force bigger, harsher moves later. Though they held rates steady last time, three voted to raise them — and recent inflation data, while better, isn’t enough to ease concerns. Many fear inflation’s becoming entrenched, not a temporary spike, with wage-price spirals looming if expectations shift. Meanwhile, the AI boom is fueling demand for power and skilled workers, pushing up wages in trades like electricians and engineers. And there’s buzz about trimming Fed meetings from eight to six to allow more strategic thinking — no final decision yet.
