The Minneapolis Fed recently featured a Scholar Spotlight on Rob Valletta, San Francisco Fed’s associate director of research in its Spring 2022 issue of For All, the magazine of the Opportunity & Inclusive Growth Institute.
The article highlights Valletta’s research on labor market policies such as unemployment insurance and their relationship to the Fed’s maximum employment goal. Valletta serves on the board of Fed System colleagues who help shape the Institute’s research and conference agendas.
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.
