                                                           Actual: 
               Median                                 Jan20  Dec19  Nov19   
Payrolls         160k                                    --   145k   266k   
Private Jobs     150k                                    --   139k   254k   
Jobless Rate     3.5%                                    --   3.5%   3.5%   
Hrly Earnings    0.3%                                    --   0.1%   0.2%   
Avg Wkly Hrs     34.3                                    --   34.3   34.4   
     Comments: U.S. employment growth likely picked up in January to 160k from
December's 145k. Weekly initial jobless claims have fallen toward historic lows
and continue to show a robust labor market. However, excess labor supply is
shrinking as prime-age worker participation returns to pre-recession high and as
slowing labor force growth puts more downside pressure on jobs numbers. Still,
160,000 is comfortably above the "break-even pace" of around 100,000 and should
bolster the decline in the unemployment rate, which should continue at its
half-century low of 3.5%. Average hourly earnings is expected to rise by +0.3%,
accelerating from previous months.

 Friday, Feb. 7 at 10:00 a.m. ET

Sales           +0.1%                                   --  +1.5%  +0.1%  
     Comments: Wholesale sales for December are expected to increase by +0.1%,
which would make for the third-straight month of growth.
     Consumer Credit for December (dollar change, billions) 
 Friday, Feb. 7 at 3:00 p.m. ET                          
                                                           Actual: 
               Median                                Dec19  Nov19   Oct19  
Cons Cred     +$15.0b                                  -- +$12.5b +$18.9b    
     Comments: Consumer credit use is expected to rise by $15.0 billion in
