Warum es wichtig ist
Jobs drive income and spending, and a tight labour market pushes wages and inflation up. the Bank of England watches employment closely, so strong figures support the pound sterling and weak ones raise the odds of rate cuts. Full-time jobs carry more weight than part-time.
So wird gerechnet
Most countries count employment from a household labour force survey; job openings come from employer surveys or job-board data; announced job cuts are tallied from company statements.
Was Veränderungen bedeuten
- Compare with the consensus and with population growth.
- Openings falling while employment holds up is the "soft landing" pattern central banks hope for.
- Quits rising means workers are confident they can find better-paid jobs: wage pressure ahead.
Höher als erwartet: A stronger figure than expected points to a healthier economy: it usually supports the pound sterling and local stocks, and can push bond yields up.
Niedriger als erwartet: A weaker figure than expected points to slowing activity: the pound sterling tends to soften and markets price in lower rates.
Eine kurze Geschichte
Labour force surveys spread after the Second World War, following the US Current Population Survey (1940s); the US job openings survey (JOLTS) began in 2000.
