They're not saying it's good as much as it's acceptable given the inflationary pressures attributable to cheap money and the labor shortage. Right now employment is bumping up against a hard boundary and it's creating stress on businesses. Higher rates will slow investment, reduce hiring and reduce prices. The Fed is aiming for a middle ground where they can slow inflation knowing that will unemployment will tick up, but ideally just a smidge.
