NFP October Jobs Report 2022

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will release the NFP October jobs report on Friday, November 4 at 14:30 GMT+2.

Expectations are for a 200K rise in Nonfarm Payrolls following the 263K increase in September while the US Unemployment Rate may increase to 3.6% from 3.5% prior.

This month’s NFP jobs report will play into the central bank’s interest rate decision at the upcoming December meeting.

With two NFP reports, and another CPI reading scheduled before the Fed’s next interest rate decision in mid-December, it’s not surprising that traders are uncertain about what the central bank will do.

For the October NFP report, consensus expectations are around 205K net new jobs and average hourly earnings projected to rise by 0.3% month-over-month.
