[Fed Daley: The Fed should focus on the employment rate rather than the number of jobs] Fed Daley said that the economy does not need to create as many jobs as before to maintain the same proportion of population employment. In this environment, monthly hiring data no longer provide the most accurate reflection of the health of the labor market. The unemployment rate may be a better measure. "Rats and indicators such as the employment-to-population ratio, the unemployment rate, separation rates or hiring rates can capture changes in the size of the labor force and provide a clearer picture of the health of the labor market," she said.
Fed Daley: Zero or negative (employment) growth does not necessarily mean a weak economy.
Fed's Daley: Slowing labor force growth means slower job growth.
