[US Job Growth Expected to Accelerate in October] The US economy is projected to add 65,000 nonfarm jobs in October, following 29,000 in September, with the private sector expected to contribute 64,000. However, the government's seasonal adjustment factor may drag down the overall data. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate is expected to remain unchanged at 4.2%. Average hourly earnings are projected to rise 0.3% month-over-month, up from 0.1% in September, but the year-over-year growth rate is expected to slow to 2.9% from 3%, the lowest level in five and a half years. Overall, the report is expected to show a relatively stable labor market, with monthly job growth of around 40,000 considered sufficient to keep pace with the growth of the working-age population.
