SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 15 (Reuters) – The U.S. Federal Reserve

is looking for a steeper decline and stronger economic growth

before it will stop its latest bond-buying program, a top Fed

official said on Monday.

“We need to see stronger, sustained improvement in the labor

market, moving us down a sharper kind of curve in terms of

unemployment,” San Francisco Fed President John Williams said.

The Fed is also looking for faster GDP growth and the creation

of more jobs, he said.
