Economic Council director urges media to focus on 'historic wage increases data,' not inflation
Fox News
White House Director of the National Economic Council Brian Deese said the media was printing the wrong headlines in the wake of grim news about the 7% rise in inflation.
"Well, I'm glad you raised the issue of quit because what that actually underscores is a labor market where people see more opportunity to move up into better jobs with higher wages," Deese said Tuesday. "What we see is a record number of new hires, which reflects a record number of people quitting, but also an even higher number of people getting new jobs. And that reflects the fact that we're seeing wages increase, particularly for the bottom."
The angle the media should be highlighting, he argued, is the "historic wage increase data."
