"Following Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s hawkish message at the annual Jackson Hole symposium, Atlanta’s Fed Bank President Raphael Bostic expanded on the economic "pain" Americans should brace for."
Jackson Hole is the perfect metaphor for the income inequality that is crushing this country. Small businesses in Jackson are hurting because ranch owners, newly wealthy remote workers and land developers have snapped up all the housing property, leading to a huge shortage of any low income housing. (low income being a relative term) The result is that prospective workers are not willing to commute 3 hours round trip for minimum wage jobs and everyone in Jackson complains that there are no workers to staff restaurants, hotels, rafting concessions, etc., because there is no housing, other than limited seasonal dorm-style housing for college students, but nothing for someone looking to start a family or pay off the remaining $180,000 of their student loans.
