Economists expect an increase of 55,000 in non-farm employment in the United States in August

Economists expect non-farm employment to increase by 55,000 in the United States in August, and unemployment is expected to remain at 4.1 per cent. Ana Wong, an analyst, stated that the statement made by Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Walsh at Jackson Hall raised the possibility of a further increase in September. Walsh described the labour market as being in good health and noted that the slowdown in employment growth was often a demographic problem. Such employment data performance will force the Fed to reassess the tight path of monetary policy and provide a strong basis for subsequent interest-rate decisions。
