According to the news from Mars Finance, Andrew Hershey, an analyst at BNP Paribas, said that the US employment in November may rebound, but the non-farm payroll report may be ambiguous and only sufficient to maintain the Fed's decision to cut interest rates in December. He predicted that the number of new jobs added will reach 225,000, higher than the consensus expectation of 214,000 in the Wall Street Journal survey. Hershey expects that the figure of 12,000 new jobs added in October, which was suppressed by hurricanes and the Boeing strike, will be revised. The uncertainty before the US election may also have suppressed hiring activities to some extent in October. Hershey added that the inclement weather may also have limited the labor force participation rate in October, and the rebound in November may cause the unemployment rate to rise from 4.1% to 4.2%.
