The unemployment rate will also be down too slow for the assessment of most people which is another way to say that the recovery might be sluggish speed continues for some time. 

The President of the Fed’s Kocherlakota, which is the owner of the voice on the FOMC seems to agree. He reduced his estimate for growth in the us for about 3 percent from 3-3.5 percent and he predicted the unemployment rate remained close to 8.5 percent, up from previous estimates. 

However, despite the revision down to growth, he still believes that the central bank to raise interest rates until the end of the year because 50bp inflation core. This view was not shared by other Fed officials or market that expect an increase in interest rates by the Federal Reserve to do in the first quarter of 2011.
