Beige Book: Tight job market widely noted. Growth modest

The Fed will use this anecdotal report on the strength of regional economies at the June 15 FOMC decision.

• Price pressures grew slightly in most districts
• Employment and wages grew modestly
• Tight labor market widely noted
• Consumer spending up modestly in many districts
• Reports from 12 districts mostly described modest economic growth
• Energy sector remains weak
• Loan demand up moderately in many districts

 The Fed is looking for signs of a pickup in growth but I don't see it here.
