Wat wordt bedoeld met 'consensus forecast' in onderstaande tekst? Gemiddelde voorspelling?

Data from the US labor department showed that 36,000 jobs were cut in February and that the jobless rate held at 9.7%. That was a stronger result for the US labour market than economists had been expecting. The consensus forecast was for the closely watched non-farm payrolls report to show a loss of 50,000 jobs in February and for the jobless rate to edge up to 9.8%, according to a Reuters poll.

  -> Dank je. Verwachte consensus betekent volgens mij wel iets anders. "forecast" is het kernwoord, niet "consensus".

agree  Kate Hudson (X): Maar dan wel consensUS
