Why Jobs Report matters
The Employment Situation report, commonly called the jobs report, bundles nonfarm payrolls, the unemployment rate and average hourly earnings into a single 8:30 AM ET release.
Payrolls describe the pace of hiring, the unemployment rate describes slack in the labour market, and average hourly earnings connect the labour market back to inflation.
It is one of the highest-volatility scheduled releases of the month because it can shift both growth expectations and rate expectations in the same instant.
