WEEK OF US LABOR REPORTS πΊπΈ
This week's economic calendar mainly focuses on the US labor market:
π 9:00 PM Tuesday (04/04): JOLTS Job Openings Report
This is a survey on the Number of Job Openings and Labor Turnover in the US.
The Job Openings rate is forecasted to be 10.4 million, down 0.4 million from the previous period (10.8 million). The decrease shows that the demand for recruitment in the US is weakening.
π 7:15 PM Wednesday (05/04): ADP Non-Farm Employment Change
ADP estimates the number of employed people in the US (excluding agriculture), which helps predict the Non-Farm Payrolls data the next day.
The forecast indicates that private companies will add only 208K positions, a decrease from 242K last month.
π 7:30 PM Friday (07/04): Non-Farm Payrolls Report
It is predicted that the US will create 235K jobs, down from 311K last month. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate remains low at 3.6%.
This week's Non-Farm Payrolls report will be closely watched because it is the last labor market report that the Fed will consider before the May interest rate announcement.
