Even if rates were 1%, it won’t change the job market. Current trends are to cut all us personnel in favor of offshoring or hiring H1b visa holders. Interest rates don’t matter when the costs of a foreign worker is a third of an American worker.
If anything, the fed should raise rates to kill inflation. They at least still have power to influence that.
