already feel like they are in a recession. two things to note. first, i do think that there are certain pockets of the population that essentially are experiencing a recession because elevated gas prices have eroded their purchasing power to such an extent and on top of that, they are experiencing pay losses already. they are experiencing job losses. it is important to note of course that for most americans, they are not made hole by inflation, that inflation ultimately erodes their wages and their real wages i should say. secreta second point which is maybe more concerning, to some extent as americans feel like we re in a recession, there is a growing concern that that might be a self-fulfilling prophecy. you can see that show up in things like falling consumer confidence, rising inflation expectations, those are all sentiment indicators that essentially can produce observed economic outcomes. and i think that is the concern that policy makes have, that some of the views might becom
polls, sentiment indicators and that sort of thing. those are pointing toward this idea that we ll go toward a recession. but the hard economic data is more mixed right now. things are still going well and the job market is strong. so you have this kind of disconnect. whether or not america in and of itself is talking itself into more of a recession because people keep on talking about recession and it just reinforced this negative feedback loop. that is not to say that everything could go hunky dory for here on out, but it does imply there is maybe more strength so the u.s. economy than we care to admit. the fed is an integral part of this and this morning jay powell made comments to a conference addressing the value of the u.s. dollar and want to read it to you right now because he said the federal reserve s strong commitment to our price
