• Weak employment growth over the next few quarters is expected to be sufficient to push the unemployment rate down only marginally towards 8.7% by the end of 2012 from an average of 9.1% in 2011.
• The latest Fed projections include a high unemployment rate even throughout 2013 (8% year-end 2013), so the Fed keeps clear easing bias to employ its tools, should economic growth stay stubbornly slow in the quarters ahead.
