“When I think of a soft landing, it’s really a matter of, yes we could see growth below trend for a while and we definitely could see unemployment moving up somewhat but not in a huge way…I think that’s the challenge,” Williams said during a question and answer session following a speech to an economics conference organized by Germany’s central bank in Eltville am Rhein, Germany.
Williams added that he would not define a soft landing as an economy in which the unemployment rate stayed at its current level of 3.6%, but one in which the labor market stayed broadly strong and healthy as inflation came down toward the central bank’s goal.
