So, if the unemployment rate is deemed to have fallen below 6.5% because of continuing declines in labor-force participation, or because firms increase the relative number of part-time workers (which would imply no increase in the aggregate number of hours worked), the Fed may not raise the federal funds rate.
No hay pistas, sin embargo, sobre cómo se determinará esa «tasa de inflación futura anticipada». La Fed podría entonces, en principio, decidir aumentar la tasa para fondos federales incluso antes de que la tasa de desempleo llegue al 6,5 %.
