There Arose Such A Clatter:
The Northern Trust Economics team shares its outlook for the U.S. economy
|
|
Just one year ago, COVID-19 vaccines were not yet approved, gatherings were restricted amid surging cases, many schools and offices remained closed, and thoughts of moving past the pandemic seemed as realistic as visions of sugar plums. The transformation seen in 2021 has been historic, and the year is not ending quietly.
Inflation remains above target while economic data shows continued, robust growth. As a result, Fed officials surprised some observers with hints that they will normalize policy much more rapidly. We now expect a first interest rate increase from the Fed in mid-2022.

Richards, Layton & Finger Update: Minimum Wage Increased to $15 Per Hour for Federal Contractors |
On November 22, 2021, the U.S. Department of Labor issued a Final Rule that increases the minimum wage for employees who work on federal contracts to $15 per hour, implementing an executive order that President Biden executed on April 27, 2021. This rule will take effect on January 30, 2022. It applies in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and certain U.S. territories.
In addition to raising the minimum wage, the rule continues to index the federal contract minimum wage in future years to inflation, eliminates the tipped minimum wage for federal contract employees by 2024, and ensures a $15 minimum wage for employees with disabilities performing work on or in connection with covered contracts. The new requirements do not apply to federal contracts entered into prior to January 30, 2022, but a provision mandating the increased minimum wage must be inserted when such contracts are renewed or extended. The definition of contracts includes subcontracts and overall is very broad, extending, for example, to procurements, service agreements, and lease agreements.
