December Jobs Report: Everything You Need to Know
Yes, it was that time again, folks. Jobs Friday, when for one ever-so-brief moment the interests of Wall Street, Washington and Main Street are all aligned on one thing: jobs.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is expected to report that the economy added 240,000 jobs in December, according to economists polled by The Wall Street Journal, a drop from November’s 321,000 but still in line with the recent pace. The unemployment rate is seen falling to 5.7%.
