US OUTLOOK/OPINION
- Goldman Sachs estimate nonfarm payrolls growth of 165k in September (consensus 150k) and also “suspect August payroll growth will be revised higher, as has been typical over the last decade, though revisions so far this year have been disproportionately downward.”
- “On net, Big Data indicators indicate a pace of job creation above the recent payrolls trend. We assume above-trend (albeit moderating) contributions from the recent surge in immigration and catch-up hiring.”
- “We estimate that the unemployment rate was unchanged on a rounded basis at 4.2%, reflecting a flat labor force participation rate and firmer household employment growth.”
- AHE seen rising 0.2% M/M (sa), “which would lower the year-over-year rate by 0.1pp to 3.7%, reflecting waning wage pressures and modestly negative calendar effects.”
