Fed's George sees 2015 economic growth staying in line with trend

(Reuters) - The U.S. economy will likely expand this year at a pace consistent with its longer-term trend rate and the labor market has healed "fairly rapidly," Kansas City Federal Reserve President Esther George said on Friday.

Speaking at an urban planning conference in Kansas City, Missouri, George made no other comments on the outlook for the U.S. economy and monetary policy.
