Non-farm payroll projection for October 2025
Macroeconomic Data Analysis 📊
Here's how each data point can influence NFP expectations:
•
Retail Sales +0.7%: a sign of solid consumption, which may be reflected in increased labor demand in trade and services.
•
Philadelphia Manufacturing Index at 23.2: a very positive reading, indicating expansion and potential hiring in the industrial sector.
•
Unemployment Claims at 231,000: slightly elevated, but still below the critical threshold. They do not indicate a marked deterioration in the labor market.
•
Continuing Jobless Claims at 1.92 million: stable, a sign of a still resilient labor market.
•
Services PMI 53.9 / Manufacturing PMI 52.0 / Composite PMI 53.6: all above the 50 threshold, indicating economic expansion. A good sign for employment.
•
New Home Sales 0.8M (+20.5% MoM): Strong recovery in the real estate sector, which could stimulate employment in construction and related services.
•
Oil Inventories -0.607M: Neutral for employment, but may indicate increased activity in the energy sector.
• Initial Jobless Claims: 218,000🧾
•
Meaning: Low and lower than expected (223k), a sign that the labor market remains solid.
•
Impact on NFP: Positive. Fewer claims → fewer layoffs → possible job growth.
GDP QoQ Final: +3.8%📈
•
Meaning: Robust economic growth in the quarter, higher than expected and well above the historical trend.
•
Impact on NFP: Positive. An expanding economy tends to hire more workers.
Durable Goods Orders: +2.9% 🛠️
•
Meaning: Strong demand for durable goods (machinery, vehicles, etc.), a sign of business confidence.
•
Impact on NFP: Positive. Companies that invest in durable goods often also increase their workforce.
Implications for the October 3 NFP report🔮
•
Expected scenario: The data suggests a likely positive surprise in the NFP, with a higher-than-expected number of new jobs.
•
Labor market: Still resilient, despite signs of a slowdown in other indicators.
•
Monetary policy: A strong NFP could reinforce the idea that the Fed will keep rates higher for longer.
NFP projection🔮
According to current forecasts, the figure expected for September is 22,000 new jobs, a sharp decline from previous months. However, these data suggest a more robust macroeconomic environment than current consensus indicates.
💡Educated assumption: If the positive data is reflected in the report, we could see a higher-than-expected NFP, perhaps between 50,000 and 100,000 new jobs, especially if the service and construction sectors continue to create jobs.
The US existing home sales figure of 4.00 million (annualized) indicates a stable but weak housing market, with a slight recovery from previous months but still below pre-pandemic levels. 2 This data may have indirect implications for the Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report, which measures non-farm employment growth.
Potential impacts on the NFP🔍
•
Labor demand in real estate and related sectors:
•
Home sales generate employment in sectors such as real estate agents, builders, movers, insurance companies, and furniture and remodelers.
•
A stable reading of 4.00M suggests there will be no significant boost to employment in this sector, but no decline either.
•
Economic sentiment and consumer confidence:
•
Purchasing a home is a sign of confidence in one's financial situation.
•
If sales don't grow significantly, it could reflect consumer caution, which translates into lower labor demand.
•
Effect on wages and inflation:
•
If the housing market remains weak, the Fed may maintain a more accommodative monetary policy, indirectly impacting employment.
What to expect on October 3, 2025📅
The NFP report could show:
•
Moderate employment growth, with no positive surprises from the housing sector.
•
Limited wage pressures if demand remains weak.
•
A greater focus on sectors such as healthcare, technology, or services, rather than construction or real estate sales.
