Ray Hill of Emory’s Goizuta Business School says the Fed is focused on the unemployment rate.
“They’ve taken their foot off of the gas too soon in the past,” says Hill. “They don’t want to have interest rates go up until they see the unemployment rate come down more.”
Hill says low interest rates helped the country recover from the Great Recession that began in 2009. The Fed made changes that lifted the rate in 2015.

MOFFATT: Jackson has called on a boycott to start tomorrow. Ray Hill, a business professor at Emory University in Atlanta, says a boycott is not likely to put a dent in these companies' bottom lines, but it's also something they can't afford to ignore.

“We see these packages, and there’s very little transparency about them,” says Raymond Hill, a senior lecturer at Emory University’s Goizueta Business School.

Emory University economist Raymond Hill says America's go-to-college message, boosted by college financial aid policies, worked in the U.S. for a while as manufacturing went offshore. But higher wages in China and a U.S. energy boom have changed the manufacturing landscape as well as the kind of jobs available. Now, companies can't find workers with the right training, Hill says.
"If you tell everybody, 'Get a college education; that gets you into the middle class. Doesn't matter what you major in, you just need that college degree.' Well, is it any surprise?" he says. "Now we see this manufacturing coming back to us, and that's what we have to get ourselves prepared for."...

Ray Hill, who teaches managerial economics and finance at Emory University, said the county’s claim is based on the assumption that Gwinnett would have borrowed that much money.
Hill and Taylor didn’t see any glaring holes in the county’s calculations.
