NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls)

Market & Macro

Non-farm payrolls is the monthly count of paid workers in the United States excluding farm workers, private household employees, and employees of non-profit organizations. It is published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics as part of the Employment Situation report. The release date is the third Friday following the end of the survey reference week, which is the week containing the twelfth of the month. That usually falls on the first Friday of the following month, but not always.

The jobs report is one of the most watched economic releases in the world — a strong report can push the Fed to keep rates higher; a weak one can signal economic slowdown.
