The Federal Reserve has been given two essential jobs from Congress that are known as the “dual mandate.” And the latest season of Six Hundred Atlantic looks at the one you’ve probably heard less about: “full employment.” Full employment is when everyone who wants to work can work as much as they want. That definition can be a little fuzzy compared to the other amendment, “stable prices.” To bring some clarity, Six Hundred Atlantic followed the lead of the Boston Fed’s 67th Economic Conference and focused on full employment in Season 6. The season looks at the definition of full employment and at two groups facing barriers to it, married women with children and people with criminal histories. It also explores why some workers are being overlooked in official employment statistics, so the policymakers don’t have a true picture of the labor markets. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/eP_DsQKa

Collins was in Maine for two days this week to learn about the state’s economic challenges and see how business owners and residents are innovating and collaborating to meet them. The first stop was Biddeford, and then on to Bangor and Millinocket. The trip included a tour of a seaweed aquaculture company and discussions with local leaders. Collins heard about the impacts of inflation and high housing costs. She also learned about efforts to keep young people from leaving by opening career paths in the outdoor recreation industry. https://bit.ly/3LCEwX3

Is a criminal history a life sentence in the labor markets? Research consistently shows employers have a bias against ex-offenders. That matters because ex-offenders are a surprisingly large portion of the population. And if potentially productive workers are underemployed because of a criminal history, that’s a drag on the labor markets. Efforts to try to make it easier for someone with a criminal history to find work have tended to focus on getting past the stigma that comes with it. But it hasn’t worked. One ex-offender tells the Boston Fed’s Six Hundred Atlantic podcast she’s working hard to rectify her mistakes, and all she’s looking for is a second chance: https://bit.ly/3Y71fSK
