Extremely low unemployment harms long-term macroeconomic stability
the verdict
CONTESTED
the evidence cuts both ways
confidence 38/100

Economic literature offers mixed views on whether extremely low unemployment harms macroeconomic stability; while traditional Phillips curve models suggest low unemployment drives up inflation, recent empirical studies in various regions find this relationship is often unstable or heavily influenced by external global factors.
