The last U.S. jobs report before the November election will probably show the labor market’s rebound continued in September, though losing some steam.
Employers probably added 850,000 workers in September, a step down from the 1.37 million a month earlier, according to the Bloomberg survey median. The unemployment rate is seen easing to 8.2% from 8.4%, smaller than the 1.8 percentage-point drop in August.
