According to sources, the Chicago Fed expects the employment report to be released on Friday to show the unemployment rate in December remaining stable at 4.6%. This final forecast aligns with the preliminary forecast released by the reserve bank a week ago.

The consensus forecast from a survey by The Wall Street Journal, however, anticipates the unemployment rate to drop to 4.5% last month.
