[Federal Reserve's Harker: Nonfarm payrolls align with recent hiring trends, ample time to decide policy stance] Reported by Jinse Finance, on October 3, Federal Reserve's Harker stated on Friday that the U.S. September employment report aligns with recent hiring trends and noted that there is still time to decide the direction of the next monetary policy. Harker mentioned that the September employment report showed an increase of approximately 29,000 jobs, with the unemployment rate rising to 4.2%, which is consistent with the recent performance of the sector. 'Over the past 12 months, an average of about 41,000 new jobs have been created each month, which roughly aligns with my estimate of the sector's "break-even point," indicating a stable trend in the hiring field,' Harker said. Regarding how the Federal Reserve should approach monetary policy, Harker stated: 'Before the meeting at the end of this month, we will still receive a significant amount of information, so there is ample time to decide on the policy stance to ensure we fulfill our established mission.'
