U.S. Jobs Market Set to Extend Rebound at Softening Pace
“The U.S. labor market probably extended its rebound last month, though the outlook for continued job growth is weakening for whichever candidate wins the White House. The Labor Department is set to release its October report tomorrow against the backdrop of a razor-thin election vote. The figures are forecast to show payrolls grew by 585,000 in October. That would be the weakest pace since pandemic lockdowns vaporized nearly 21 million jobs in April.”

That would imply an annual average growth rate of 4.7%-5%, according to a range of forecasts from economists.”
