A relative clause modifying "pace"?

But we should also be wary of moving too gradually. Job gains continue to run well ahead of the longer-run pace we estimate would be sufficient, on average, to provide jobs for new entrants to the labour force.

Hi. I have questions about the underlined part:
Is the underlined part a relative clause modifying "pace"?
Is "that/which" omitted between "pace" and "we" because they function as an object of "estimate" in the relative clause?
Thank you.
