Overview

• The U.S. economy continues to recover, but at a very modest pace

• Employment growth is thin, in the U.S. and in Kansas City, and by some measures, its worse than we think it is. But U.S. growth is getting stronger.

• Significant risks temper the outlook going forward • The residential real estate market, however, is doing

better

Employment Required to Reach Unemployment Rate at Dec 2007 Level

Chart computes the employment level that would be required to keep the unemployment rate at the December, 2007 level, given structural trends in the labor force participation rate. The structural trend in labor force participation rates is discussed in Van Zandweghe (2012).

RISKS TO THE OUTLOOK

Federal debt is projected to continue to increase as a share of GDP on what is potentially an unsustainable path
