This jobs report is expected to have a major impact on the Federal Reserve’s decision, which is due September 18.

The anticipation of the payrolls data follows comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell last month, signaling the onset of interest rate reductions due to concerns about a weakening labor market.

The likelihood of an interest rate cut at the Federal Reserve’s meeting is a focal point for investors. According to the , there is a 63% chance of a 25 basis point cut and a 37% chance of a 50 basis point reduction.
