Households’ inflation-adjusted median net worth, or wealth, climbed 37% from 2019 to 2022, according to the Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances released Wednesday. That was the largest three-year increase since the survey began in 1989.

The Federal Reserve’s survey of economic activity released Wednesday showed an economy that was expanding at a modest pace in the summer but facing the challenge of a tapped-out consumer and a slowing labor market. There is less unanimity about what the Fed will do after that, at its November meeting. Services inflation is still sticky, the economy may be growing faster than the Fed would like and the Chinese economy is in a slowdown. “Fed Governor Christopher Waller told CNBC yesterday that recent labor market data, including a decline in job openings, moderating wage increases, and slower job growth in August are encouraging,” said Jose Torres, senior economist at Interactive Brokers. Having said that, he left the door open for another rate hike because he doesn’t think one more would weaken economic growth significantly given risks remain tilted towards not doing enough.”

Gig worker rule comes at bad time for gig economy
  + stars: | 2022-10-11 | by ( Jennifer Saba | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
President Joe Biden’s administration is seeking to turn some independent contractors into employees. Shares of Uber, Lyft and DoorDash were down approximately 7% by noon in New York. Analysts expect Uber, DoorDash and Lyft to earn EBITDA margins of just 5% to 7% of revenue this year, according to Refinitiv. A gig worker rule comes at the worst possible time for America’s gig economy. The rule would require companies that rely on so-called gig workers to designate them as employees, making them eligible for more benefits and legal protections.
