• U.S. Business Economists Say Labor Market Improving — March 2015


The outlook for the labor market is notably stronger says the National Association for Business Economics consensus of macroeconomic forecasts from a panel of 50 professional forecasters.

The median forecast for nonfarm payroll growth is 251,000 for 2015—a substantial upgrade from December’s forecast of 217,000—and 216,000 for 2016.

The outlook for unemployment has also brightened: in December the 2015 unemployment rate was expected to average 5.6%; the current median forecast is 5.4%. The median forecast for 2016 is for unemployment to decline further to an average rate of just 5.1%.
