Odaily Planet Daily News: On Wednesday, Beijing time, the US Bureau of Labor released the preliminary report on the first quarter of 2024 non farm payroll and wage census (QCEW), with new data showing that US employment growth is much weaker than the initial report. It is worth noting that this data was originally scheduled to be released at 22:00 Beijing time, but was postponed for unknown reasons. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics stated that the preliminary estimate of the annual benchmark revision shows that the total number of non farm payroll jobs in the United States will decrease by 818000 in March 2024, a decrease of 0.5%. Previously, some agencies had predicted a maximum decrease of 1 million. The revised data may once again raise concerns among the market and economists, who believe that the labor market is deteriorating much faster than initially expected, and these data may exacerbate concerns that the Federal Reserve is lagging behind in cutting interest rates. The data released on Wednesday will help influence Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's latest assessment of the labor market. Powell will give a speech at the Fed's annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming on Friday. (Golden Ten)
