Almost Everyone Expects a Recession. Could the Economy Avoid One? – The Washington Post, Pres. Daly Talks to Reporters on November 21, 2022

President Daly said that as she travels around her district — which spans nine western states and is the Fed system’s largest district both by geography and by the size of its economy — she hears that “people’s own situations feel different than the situations they fear are out there, or that they even see out there.”

The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (SF Fed) works to advance the nation’s monetary, financial, and payment systems to build a stronger economy for all Americans. As part of the U.S. central bank, the SF Fed serves the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, which covers the nine western states—Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawai’i, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington—plus American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. By pursuing our two key goals of maximum employment and price stability—known as the Fed’s dual mandate—we work toward supporting an economy that works for everyone.
