  • The number in the column next to that, where is a number, is what is the consensus median expected.

Snippet via Goldman Sachs:

  • We estimate nonfarm payrolls rose by 300k in April
  • We estimate a one-tenth drop in the unemployment rate to 3.5%, reflecting a solid or strong rise in household employment partially offset by another 0.1pp rise in labour force participation to 62.5%
  • While labour demand remains at elevated levels and dining activity has returned to normal, seasonally-adjusted job growth tends to slow during the spring hiring season when the labour market is tight.
