Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen and her cohorts will be looking closely at Friday’s employment report as they weigh decisions on raising interest rates. The next three monthly jobs reports are crucial for the Federal Reserve, says Joe Brusuelas, chief economist at consulting firm McGladrey. If the Fed is going to start raising rates, Brusuelas says, it’s “going to want to see a real steady improvement in job creation and in the internals of the report.”
