The U.S. employment report for September will show whether the job market continued to cool last month as high inflation and rising interest rates weighed on the economy.
The still-tight labor market loosened some in August, according to Labor Department figures that detailed a slower pace of hiring, a sharp decline in job openings and a slight increase in layoffs. The department will release the September employment report on Friday at 08:30 a.m. ET, with details on payrolls, wage growth, labor-force participation and the unemployment rate.
