U.S. September jobs report due Oct. 2; 94,000 jobs expected, unemployment seen at 4.1%

The Bureau of Labor Statistics will release September hiring data Friday, Oct. 2 at 8:30 a.m. ET. Economists expect 94,000 jobs added, with unemployment steady at 4.1%, according to CNN. I watch this because hiring shapes interest rates, and that feeds into mortgages, savings rates and investment returns.
