Thread: The Inflation vs Deflation Debate

So, couple of months since last post so I'm going to throw this out there:

As benefits for unemployed pople expire this month, do you think it will have enough affect on employment costs and drive some labor costs down which will help stifle inflation?

I may be over-estimating the level of effect, but would like to know your thoughts.

Good point. Seems most employers have been preparing for this by offering signing bonuses instead of permanent wage increases.

After the handouts dry up, many job seekers will lose their bargaining power because their need to find work will outweigh the employers need to find workers.
