Chicago Fed Estimates US Unemployment Rate Remains Largely Unchanged
On Monday, October 27th, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago released an estimate. It shows that the U.S. unemployment rate has remained relatively stable in the past two months. The government shutdown has led to a delay in the release of official data. The real-time unemployment rate forecast from the regional Fed indicates that the October unemployment rate is 4.35%, compared to 4.34% in September.
The latest official data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in early September showed that the August unemployment rate was 4.3%. The Chicago Fed stated that its estimate may only partly reflect the furlough of federal employees due to the government shutdown. Its methodology combines data from official sources and channels in the private sector, such as job websites, surveys, and payroll companies. (FXStreet)
