Federal Reserve governor Lael Brainard is set to take questions Tuesday on the U.S. economic outlook and its implications for the labor market, inflation and central-bank policies.
Ms. Brainard, who is awaiting Senate confirmation to serve as the Fed’s vice chairwoman, is scheduled to speak in a 35-minute interview beginning at 12:10 p.m. Eastern time as part of The Wall Street Journal Jobs Summit. The appearance comes as the central bank is raising interest rates as part of their most aggressive effort in decades to curb price pressures.
