Nonfarm payrolls are expected to have fallen to 164K in the last month of 2019 from a ten-month high of 266K in November. The decline is partially due to a later-than-normal Thanksgiving Day in 2019, which could have shifted hiring of seasonal workers, and to a boost in November from the return of workers from a GM strike. Investors also await the full year figure, and expect it to have reached more than 2 million, the ninth straight year above that threshold. The unemployment rate is seen steady at 3.5%, average weekly hours worked at 31.4 while wage growth is expected to pick up to 0.3 percent from 0.2 percent.
