What To Look For In September’s Jobs Report

The U.S. jobs report for August will be reported on September 1 at 8.30am ET. Unemployment is expected to remain within the historically low range of 3.4% to 3.7% that it has maintained since March 2022.

This is, in part, as the economy continues to grow in Q3 according to nowcasts from Atlanta Federal Reserve, and less optimistic but still positive assessments from economists. However, economists will be watching for sector-level trends that might signal where the U.S. is heading.
