Barkin also discussed the impact of labor shortages on inflation. He noted that the pandemic had led to many workers leaving the labor force,

which has created challenges for businesses in finding workers to fill open positions.

This shortage of workers has led to higher wages, which have in turn contributed to higher prices. Barkin suggested that addressing these labor shortages
