Miami is currently experiencing a paradoxical economic situation where jobs are plentiful, yet the cost of living remains prohibitively high. The city's low unemployment rate is overshadowed by high inflation and expensive housing costs, making it difficult for residents, particularly service workers, to afford basic necessities. This situation highlights the broader challenge faced by the Federal Reserve in achieving a balanced economy with strong employment and low inflation. The Biden administration's economic policies are also under scrutiny, as the availability of jobs does not necessarily translate to sufficient wages to cover living expenses in major U.S. cities. This issue is particularly pronounced in South Florida.
