NonFarm Payrolls
Last data: 157K
Consensus forecast: 191K
Last month’s release on NFP was, to the surprise of many, a little disappointing and unexpected. Nevertheless, such "blotches" are quite possible and they do not talk about the general weakening of the US economy.
We expect the US economy to add about 191,000 new jobs in August, compared to the previous figure of 157,000.
