US 'will not accept' flood of below-cost Chinese goods: Yellen

Description

The United States "will not accept" a situation where underpriced Chinese goods flood the global market, battering industries elsewhere, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Monday as she wrapped up high-level talks in China. This was the situation over a decade ago when Chinese government support led to a surge in steel exports, she told reporters, adding: "I know that these serious concerns are shared by our allies and partners."

Yellen To Congress: Don't Fight The $15

Former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen is now being confirmed for another top job--that of Treasury Secretary in the Biden administration. And according to Business Insider, she says raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour would have little to no impact on employment. Democrats support raising the minimum wage, but it remains a partisan issue due to its potential effects on the economy. GOP lawmakers consistently argue that raising the minimum wage would cost the country millions of jobs. However, Yellen said Tuesday that a $15 minimum wage increase wouldn't significantly impact the job market.
