When Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell takes the stage Friday at the annual Jackson Hole, Wyoming, economic forum, he will face pressures ranging from President Trump's repeated calls for his resignation to a recent mix of worrying economic data.

It’s time once again for central bankers, economists and academics to gather in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for the Federal Reserve of Kansas City’s annual economic policy symposium. The gathering comes as the Fed finds itself an increasing focus of criticism from the White House as President Donald Trump seeks to transform the global economy and the US workforce.
