Non-Farm Payrolls
Non-Farm Payrolls
About This Event
The number of non-farm payrolls for September will be released.
Previous: 22K
Forecast: 50K
Non-farm payrolls measures the change in the number of people employed during the previous month, excluding the farming industry. This is a key indicator of job creation and consumer spending. Higher than expected payrolls is bullish, while lower than expected payrolls is bearish.
The US economy added 911K fewer jobs in the 12 months through March 2025 than initially reported - the largest downward revision since at least 2000 - according to the BLS’s preliminary benchmark revision. This represents a -0.6% adjustment, compared with an absolute average change of 0.2% in total nonfarm employment over the past decade. Nearly all sectors added fewer jobs than initially estimated, with the steepest downward revisions in leisure and hospitality (-176K), professional and business services (-158K), retail trade (-126.2K), and wholesale trade (-110.3K). In contrast, payrolls were revised higher in transportation and warehousing (+6.6K) and utilities (+3.7K). The revision captures the gap between two independently compiled employment measures, each subject to distinct sources of error. A year earlier, the preliminary data showed a downward revision of 818K jobs, later adjusted to -598K. The latest figures suggest the labor market has weakened more than previously thought. source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
