Any guess on the US jobs number this morning. 189,000 expected which is not great. I think a little weaker at 175,000

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is unconcerned about the bond market's ability to absorb rising government debt after his department said it borrowed a record amount for the first quarter. "By definition supply and demand will equate," he told Bloomberg TV. Net borrowing totaled $488B, exceeding the old record of $483B in Q1 of 2010, a period when the U.S. was struggling to pull out of the financial crisis.

The US economy added 103,000 jobs in March. Pretty bad number, maybe rate increases already having affect

It was the lowest in six months and sharply below economists’ forecasts of 193,000.

The figure for February was revised up to 326,000 from 313,000.

313,000 jobs were added last month, the most since October 2015 and the 89th straight month of gains, a record. Economists had anticipated a gain of about 200,000.

The average hourly wage grew by 0.1 percent. It grew by 0.3 percent in January. The year-over-year increase fell to 2.6 percent from 2.9 percent.
The Takeaway

For Wall Street, the combination of a strong job growth and a modest rise in wages makes for a dream report.

“I love it,” said Ellen Zentner, chief United States economist at Morgan Stanley.

Labor Department at 8:30 EST. The consensus forecast from economists is for nonfarm payrolls to be up 205K from January, although there is a wide range of estimates (152K to 230K) this month. The participation rate is expected to stay at 62.7%, while the unemployment rate is anticipated to move to 4.0% from 4.1%. Keep an eye on the average hourly earnings update amid concerns of wage pressures on corporate profit. Inflation fears could be unleashed if wage growth outpaces the anticipated year-over-year rise of 2.9%.

And the numbers are?

GB, it was a miss alright, but the other direction

The U.S. economy created 156,000 jobs in August while the unemployment rate edged higher to 4.4 percent, according to a closely watched government report Friday.

Economists surveyed by Reuters had been expecting payrolls to grow by 180,000 in August and the unemployment rate to hold steady at 4.3 percent. A broader measure that includes discouraged workers and those holding part-time jobs for economic reasons also was unchanged at 8.6 percent.

In addition to missing estimates, previous months' job totals also were cut. June was revised down from 231,000 to 210,000 while July fell from the initially reported 209,000 to 189,000, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said.

Wage growth also was weak for the month, with average hourly earnings up 0.1 percent for an annualized rate of 2.5 percent. The average work week declined by 0.1 hour to 34.4 hours.

Seems everyone gave up on guessing jobs numbers in US, 183,000 expected to be added, reported today

Seems media does not focus much here, instead it is all about what is wrong with Trump
