. >> anna kurtz with cnn money. thank you, chair yellen. i'm wondering what's the fed's general expectation for wage growth this year and next year, and if inflation outpaces wage growth, does that scenario make you more hesitant to raise the federal funds rate next year? or if conversely wages rise just enough to keep up with inflation, moving in lock step, let's say. is that enough to satisfy what you're looking for in the job market? >> well, thanks. that's a great question. you know, i see compensation growth broadly speaking as having been very well contained. by most measures, compensation growth is running around 2%. so that's real wage growth or real compensation growth. it's essentially flat rather than rising. and real wage growth really has not been rising in line with productivity. my own expectation is that as the labor market begins to tighten, we will see wage growth pick up some to the point where real wage growth, where compensation and nominal wages are rising more rapidly than inflation so households are getting a real in
