Our Alex Williams was mentioned in Bloomberg by Kristine Aquino.
As Alex Williams at Employ America noted in a blog post earlier this year, since WWII there have been 12 times that the unemployment rate rose by at least 1% in a year. And 11 out of 12 times, the unemployment rate increased by at least 1 percentage point more. So even setting aside what you think of asking the Fed chair about the employment costs of the tightening, it's definitely a good question to ask about whether the Fed can stop the layoffs when they really gather steam.
