Get Ready For The US Non-Farm Payrolls Today.
Focus on the US Non-Farm Payrolls today! The US Jobs Report will be released at 12:30 p.m. (GMT).
Why Is This Important?
The Non-Farm Payrolls track the change in the number of people employed by the US in manufacturing, construction, and goods companies. It does not include farming industry employment. The US Jobs Report is so important for the upcoming Fed decisions.
Fed Vice Chair Richard Clarida's comments this week that conditions for a rate hike could be met in late 2022 have only served to underscore the focus on jobs.
