Bullard: Improvement in Labor Force not Happening Fast Enough to Ease Inflation

April 7, 2022

(Reuters) - The U.S. labor force is not increasing fast enough to help with the Fed's immediate battle with inflation, St. Louis Fed president James Bullard said Thursday, discounting the hope that a flood of new workers will improve the supply of goods and ease wage pressure.

"We are pulling people back into the labor force but that is a slow process and not something that is occurring at a high enough frequency to help us on the inflation dimension," Bullard said.

Most enhanced income ETFs start with broad market indexes and systematically sell covered calls. Cullen’s DIVP flips that script—beginning with disciplined value stock selection, then selectively writing options on 25–40% of holdings each month. The result? A strategy that combines the natural income advantages of value stocks with tactical options premiums while maintaining upside participation and seeking better tax efficiency than traditional covered call funds.
