US Jobs - 2024-01-04

Date: 
Friday, January 5, 2024
Summary: 

Solid payroll number, but on the back of downward revisions (and seemingly echoing the Fed's cognitive dissonance, a terrible month for the "household survey" right after last month's blockbuster). If you want to be hawkish, look no further than the large jump in average hourly earnings (fortunately, it's becoming increasingly obvious to sentient beings that this has no relation to inflation).
