Powell on wages, transparency and independence at the Fed

Marketplace | Jul 12, 2018
Jay Powell's been the chairman of the Federal Reserve for about five and a half months.

We talked about transparency, trade disputes and stagnant wages, but he wasn't able to talk about inflation.

We talk about what that means for the Fed and for you.
