-
Right now the labor market is 'very strong' with demand high
-
Right now there is a lot of resolve at the Fed to do what it takes to bring inflation down
-
"Under no illusion" that it will be easy to get inflation to 2%, it could take some time

Current inflation may be more persistent than I thought, but we cannot react to one data point
