Evans also expects the unemployment rate is 7.4%, and this year, in 2014 to slow to 7%.
"Labour market improved a good indicator, if we see employment increase 200000, monthly months, we have been an average of about 150000, but development is not balanced, we need higher employment growth pace in such a speed fluctuation is small, the Chicago the fed chairman Evans said."
Create 10000 jobs more than six months, will be a "substantial" improved, but the unemployment rate dropped to 6.5% of the key level, may need a long time, it will be until the middle of 2015, he says, in the Asian financial BBS speech in Hong Kong.
The United States federal reserve decided last year to fit specific economic conditions of the monetary policy, should help to promote economic recovery, don't let inflation, said Evans, chief designer of the policy.
Also provides additional accommodation, guarantee market interest rates will remain low, even in the economic benefit, he said.
"In view of more specific conditions, the market can have more confidence, we will provide the necessary loose monetary policy, close a lot of resources, the existing gap," he said. "In addition, the public can be assured that we will not wait too long tight, if inflation as the main concern."
Last month, the federal reserve assets to purchase enough to stimulate economic growth, and promised to keep interest rates at near zero, until the unemployment rate fell to 6.5%, for as long as inflation expectations don't climb above 2.5%.
Evans, who rotate to a at polling places, the fed's policy panel this year, has been pushing what such a based on threshold policy more than a year of time, say, the federal reserve to trying to meet a more active role its mission is to promote employment.
Since the middle of 2011 since, his speech was the first time he last week to ignore the fed's further easing of an explicit calls, this means that he is comfortable, the current monetary policy stance will help pull low unemployment is still as high as 7.8%.
The federal reserve bank of Kansas city President esther George the fed's bond purchase plan and low interest rates policy and other critics warn that the central bank's action possible overheating, lead to unnecessary inflation.
Evans some policy "liberal" said earlier this week, trying to stop such criticism.
Although the fed's new 2.5% inflation rate threshold "allow inflation times above" the fed's 2% target modestly operation, it in fact as a guarantee, to prevent overheating, he said.
In the third quarter, the American economy grew at an annualised rate of 3.1%, but in this year's growth is expected to slow down the last few months. Last month, the fed policy makers said they expected in 2014 GDP growth rate between 2.3% and 3.0% this year, from 3.0% to 3.5%.
At the same time, most people expect inflation rate is lower than the fed's target of 2% a run.
The United States congress on January 1, a part of the agreement, to avoid the worst plan tax rise is known as the "wealth cliff", but delayed 2 months of spending cuts the important decisions.
Evans said, fiscal policy on the influence of the economic growth, he expected, his growth forecast, since the end of last year.
But he warned congress take too positive measures to cut back on spending.
"The United States must strengthen their public sector finances, but it must do so gradually, if we want to avoid further economic turbulence or another downturn," said Evans.
