As the title of the chart implies, this week is chock full of employment stats. We will get ADP on Wednesday as well as Claims due to the market closure on Thursday. Challenger Job Cuts will still land on Thursday, and finally, the monthly payrolls report on Friday. However, the JOLTs report on Tuesday will have most of our attention as it gives us an update on the number of job openings in the economy. This number explains a lot about what has happened in the economy in the last few years – and potentially the year ahead. We’ll get a read on current labor market tightness before the new administration comes into office and potentially impacts the data. Also, keep a close eye on payrolls on Friday, especially Overtime Hours.
