The New York Fed has released the the December Survey of Consumer Expectations:
December Survey: Labor Market Expectations Worsen; Inflation Expectations Tick Up at Short-Term, Unchanged at Medium- and Longer-Term Horizons
- Median inflation expectations increased by 0.2 percentage point (ppt) to 3.4 percent at the one-year-ahead horizon in December. They were unchanged at the three-year- and five-year-ahead horizons, both at 3 percent.
- The mean perceived probability of finding a job if one’s current job were lost fell by 4.2 ppts to 43.1 percent, reaching a new series low. The decline was driven by respondents with annual household incomes below $100,000 and was most pronounced for those above age 60 and those with a high school degree or less.
- The mean perceived probability of losing one’s job in the next twelve months increased by 1.4 ppts to 15.2 percent. The reading is above the series’ 12-month trailing average of 14.3 percent. The mean probability of leaving one’s job voluntarily, or the expected quit rate, in the next twelve months decreased by 0.2 ppt to 17.5 percent.
- Households’ perceptions about their current financial situation compared to a year ago improved, with a smaller share of households reporting a worse financial situation and a larger share reporting a better financial situation. Year-ahead expectations about households’ financial situation improved as well.
They have also commenced publication of the Heise, Pearce, Weber (HPW) Labor Market Tightness Index:
The HPW Index offers an indicator of labor market tightness based on the quits rate and job vacancies per searcher. It can be used for summarizing current wage pressures and forecasting near-term wage inflation.
What are the key features of the approach?
The HPW Index is constructed by taking a weighted average of the quits rate and of vacancies per effective searcher, where effective searchers include both employed and non-employed workers weighted by their job-finding rate. The weights on these two variables—quits rate and vacancies per effective searcher—are equal to their coefficients in a simple ordinary-least-squares (OLS) regression of nominal wage growth on quits and vacancies per effective searcher, where wage growth is measured using the Employment Cost Index (ECI) for wages and salaries of private industry workers. The weights are updated when new ECI wage data are released to incorporate the latest data point.
