President Joe Biden's focus is on a just-passed $1 trillion infrastructure package and a follow-on $1.75 trillion bill focused on education, healthcare and climate change.\n\"We have been so focused on short-term recovery,\" said Nela Richardson, chief economist at payroll processor ADP, but \"it is not just about going back to where we started, it is really taking stock of where we are and the structural changes that have been produced by COVID.\"\nThat could range from a workforce made permanently smaller by retirements, changes in work preference and declining immigration, to inflation shifted persistently higher because globally, she said, \"the free flow of goods and services is not the same as it was.\"\nIS THE RECOVERY COMPLETE?\nOn Nov. 9, 2020, when Pfizer Inc announced its COVID-19 vaccine was effective, an Oxford Economics \"recovery tracker\" stood at 80.5, nearly 20 percentage points below the start of the pandemic. It would go lower still, to 72, as the virus spread and firms unexpectedly shed jobs again.\nLate last month it passed 100, meaning that across a combination of measures of production, employment, consumption and health, the economy was on net back where it started before the coronavirus.\nThat doesn't mean every metric had climbed to its starting point, just that for every remaining weak spot - hotel occupancy for example - something offsets it like a jump in restaurant visits or rising use of public transit.\nSimilarly for the labor market, the remaining shortfalls are glaring. Some 4.2 million fewer people are on U.S. payrolls than in February 2020.\nBut the impulse seems there for continued job gains, between record numbers of job openings, rising wages, and people willing to quit jobs presumably for better ones.\nMany economists and Fed officials feel it is just a matter of time, perhaps another year, before the economy hits full employment. A Kansas City Fed labor market index shows a job market running well above its long-term average with still more upward momentum.\nPANDEMIC FISSURES, OR SOMETHING MORE?\nOutside the doors of the Kansas City Fed, that index would seem to match the facts on the ground. As of September, Missouri and neighboring Kansas had unemployment rates below 4% versus 4.6% nationally.\nBureau of Labor Statistics data shows employment in Kansas higher than in February 2020, with Missouri not far behind.\nThat's not true everywhere. In the industrial <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MDWT\">Midwest</a> through the mid-Atlantic and New England employment is as much as 9% below the pre-pandemic level. The two largest state economies, California and New York, are both about 5% short.\nThe differences may stem from tradeoffs made earlier in the pandemic, with stricter health rules in some states suppressing the virus but tempering the recovery and looser restrictions in others allowing a faster jobs rebound at the cost of subsequent disease outbreaks.\nBut it poses a puzzle.\nAre the lagging states still impacted by the pandemic and just need time to complete their bounceback? Or have their economies restructured around different industries or technologies that need fewer workers?\nSimilar questions surround the stalled labor force participation rate, still 1.7 percentage points below its pre-pandemic level, a gap of around 3 million people neither working nor looking for a job.\nResearch by Jefferies and others has estimated that, even at the lowest income levels, households have perhaps two months extra cash on hand from stimulus and other payments, including ongoing tax rebates for families with children, that may let them be more selective about work.\nIf people have left the workforce permanently, however, full employment may arrive sooner than anticipated. That has implications for the Fed, and for the Biden administration if the workers needed to staff new infrastructure or other programs become more difficult or costly to find.\nJob growth across industries has been uneven, too. Businesses that move goods now employ more people than before the pandemic, riding a surge in demand as the coronavirus shuttered sports stadiums, concert halls and other places where people ordinarily would have spent some of their money. Core service industries like leisure and hospitality are still nearly 10% short.\n(GRAPHIC: Jobs by industry - https://graphics.reuters.com/USA-FED/INDUSTRY/qmypmdoolvr/chart.png)\nWhat's unknown is whether that evens out when spending shifts back to services, as many economists expect, or whether the occupational mix has changed for good.\nLikewise inflation may be running at a 30-year high because the recovery isn't finished, and will fall as spending, work and other habits return to normal.\nBut if something larger is in play - if a change in how inflation works has been mistaken for short-term supply chain or other pandemic disruptions - it could pose major risks.\n\"The risk is that (Fed officials) panic and chase down inflation\" with faster and higher interest rate increases that could, Grant Thornton Chief Economist Diane Swonk wrote recently, \"end our relationship with inflation but at a hefty price.
