The Chicago Fed's real-time forecast for the September 2025 unemployment rate is 4.34%, which is largely in line with expectations and shows a slight increase from the previous month's actual BLS rate of 4.32%. The probability distribution suggests a 28.2% chance of "no change" (4.3%) and a 26.5% chance of a +0.1 pp increase (4.4%). This indicates a stable but potentially slightly weakening labor market, which could influence Federal Reserve policy and impact interest-rate sensitive assets like bonds and growth stocks.
