Janet Yellen
Long-term unemployment can make any worker progressively less employable, even after the economy strengthens.
Janet Yellen
If it were possible to take interest rates into negative territory I would be voting for that.
Janet Yellen
Inequality has risen to the point that it seems to me worthwhile for the U.S. to seriously consider taking the risk of making our economy more rewarding for more of the people.
