It\u2019s a new month and a new year \u2013 which means the latest Non-Farm Payroll figures will be released this week by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. The latest US jobs data will be released at 1:30 PM London time on Friday. It has been a turbulent week in the United States with a riot causing havoc in Washington D.C. This will be the last jobs report during President Donald Trump’s era with President-Elect Joe Biden set to be inaugurated on the 20th of January.<\/p>\n

Why is the announcement important?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Non-Farm Payroll is one of the most closely watched indicators. It is considered the most wide-ranging measure of job creation in the United States. An increase in the non-farm payrolls would suggest rising employment and potential inflation pressure \u2013 which would mean a possible rate increase by the Federal Reserve. A decline would indicate a slowing economy \u2013 which would mean a possible interest rate cut. The measure accounts for around 80% of the workers who contribute to the Gross Domestic Product. It does not include those who work on farms and also excludes private households, non-profit workers, and government employees.<\/p>\n

Expectations<\/strong><\/p>\n

In November, the total Non-Farm payroll employment increased by 245k, lower than analyst predictions of 481k. The unemployment rate declined to 6.7% from 6.9%, as per forecast. Most significant job gains were in transportation and warehousing, professional and business services, and health care. Employment declined in government and retail trade.<\/p>\n

Analysts are expecting 71k jobs added in December. The unemployment rate is expected to rise by 0.1% to 6.8%.<\/p>\n
