William Emmons, Federal Reserve
William R. Emmons, PhD Assistant Vice President and Economist Wealth in America William R. Emmons is lead economist in the Division of Supervision, Credit and Learning at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis and serves as an Adjunct Professor of Finance in the John M. Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis. He co-founded and served as the lead economist in the Center for Household Financial Stability from 2013 to 2020. Bill assesses household wealth, which exceeded $140 trillion in mid-2021 and is at an all-time high. Yet, even as many Americans struggle to live healthy, fulfilling lives, wealth is distributed very unevenly across the population. Along with far-sighted public policies, private philanthropy can play an important role in improving the lives of those who are less fortunate. There can be no better time to bring our national resources to bear on these goals than now, in a time of plenty.
