Comments from Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart:

  • Some fall-off in use of part-time personnel likely as the economy strengthens further
  • But preference for part-term workers is likely to persist

Lockhart is generally a good gauge for the core of the Fed.

Meanwhile, Plosser is lamenting that central banks globally are being asked to do more than they can deliver; which is something that should surely be a front-page topic.
