Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) is part of the monthly Employment Situation report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). It is typically released at 8:30 AM Eastern Time (ET), usually on the first Friday of the month, though the date can shift.
The report includes the change in non-farm payrolls, the unemployment rate and average hourly earnings, along with revisions to prior months.
The jobs report is a key read on the labor market and Fed policy, so calendars mark it high impact. NQ and ES futures can move quickly at the 8:30 AM ET print.
