Fed's Mester says USA economic data consistent with higher rates
- October 08, 2016
The unemployment rate, at 5.0 percent, and the number of unemployed persons, at 7.9 million, changed little in September.

A solid job gain in September would raise the likelihood that Fed policymakers will lift the short-term rate they control, most ... (more...)

"Time is a unique thing in political campaigns - you can't make more of it", Wrenn said. (more...)
