Fed's Goolsbee says rate hike and pause both 'on the table'

Oct 2 (Reuters) - ‌Chicago ​Federal ​Reserve President Austan Goolsbee said on ‌Friday on Fox Business ⁠Network's The Big Money show ‌that he feels ‌that the latest jobs data show the labor ​market is steady and that too-high ⁠inflation remains the Fed's bigger policy ​priority.

"There is plenty of room for anything to ​be on the ‌table," Goolsbee told Fox Business' Edward ⁠Lawrence, who asked if he felt the Fed ⁠ought to raise rates or ​pause this month as markets now expect. "Let's see if we ‌can get some evidence put together ‌that suggests we're ⁠headed back ‌to 2% ​inflation."
