Jobs report due Friday, November 6, after slow September hiring

The Bureau of Labor Statistics, the government's job counter, is scheduled to release October 2026 figures Friday, November 6, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern. September added 29,000 jobs, below the 45,000 monthly average of the past year. Surprises in this report often move Treasury yields, the interest rates on government debt, and those rates feed into mortgage and loan costs.
