There’s still a lot of room to grow in the U.S. job market without running short of workers or fueling wage inflation, according to Scott Minerd, who manages $250 billion for Guggenheim Partners.

“Full employment’s a lot lower than people think,” Minerd, Guggenheim’s global chief investment officer, said during a Monday telephone interview from Los Angeles. “It’s probably below 4 percent.”
