因此，如果失业率因为劳动力参与的继续下降而降至6.5 % ， 或者因为企业增加兼职员工的相对数量（这意味着总工时数并未增长 ） ， 美联储可能不会提高联邦基金利率。
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.
