What is the  U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)  Jobs Report? Investopedia's BLS Jobs Report

1. The monthly jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates the U.S. unemployment rate and the monthly change in nonfarm payrolls, as well as average earnings and hours worked.

2. The report consists of two main components: the household survey, which is used to estimate the unemployment rate, and the establishment survey providing data on payrolls, hours worked, and earnings.

3. Released on the first Friday of every month for the prior month, the jobs report gives investors one of the earliest and most comprehensive views into the recent state of the U.S. economy.

4. Earnings data is used to assess labor cost pressures, while hours worked can be a leading indicator of labor demand. Socioeconomic subcategories in the household survey show which groups are suffering the most and least from unemployment.
