According to BlockBeats, the U.S. November employment report is set to be released this Friday, with economists from Bank of America advising investors to pay close attention to the growth rates over the past two months. This comes amid concerns about potential significant revisions to the October data.
A survey conducted by The Wall Street Journal anticipates that the U.S. non-farm payrolls for November will show an increase of 214,000 jobs, a substantial rise from the 12,000 jobs added in October. Bank of America projects an even higher figure, expecting the number to surpass 240,000 due to the impacts of recent hurricanes and a strike at Boeing. Additionally, the labor force participation rate is expected to rebound, which could lead to a slight increase in the unemployment rate from 4.1% to 4.2%, aligning with The Wall Street Journal's forecast.
Bank of America also noted that while there was an initial rise in unemployment claims due to the hurricanes, these numbers have since declined, indicating a swift economic recovery. This suggests that the labor market is resilient and capable of bouncing back quickly from temporary disruptions.
