The Fed could argue that the gap between current and full employment GDP is larger than the 6.1 unemployment rate implies, owing to the large number of part time workers who would prefer full time employment and the sharp decline in the labor force participation rate. If the GDP gap is 4 , as a recent Congressional Budget Office estimate implied, the Taylor rule would indicate an optimal federal funds rate of about 1.25 (2 1.5 0.25 2), compared to the current rate of only 0.1 .

By the time the FOMC met on September 16, the unemployment rate had fallen to 5.1 , the level that the Fed had earlier identified as full employment.
