• Coronavirus cases are declining and the economy is improving – by just how much will be on display this week with key employment data slated to be released.
• The ADP and nonfarm payroll reports are due this week along with initial unemployment claims. These three data releases will highlight the health of the U.S. labor market amid declining COVID-19 cases and rising inflation.
With COVID-19 cases declining, investors are looking for signs that the worst is in the rearview and the economy is on the road to full recovery. They’ll get a look at that this week when key economic data points are released, including ADP’s national employment report and nonfarm payrolls for February. Weekly initial and continuing unemployment claims are also due. All three data points will paint a broad picture of the health of the U.S. labor market. Companies are hiring, but inflation is putting upward pressure on wages.
