Nonfarm payrolls (All Employees, Total Nonfarm) estimate U.S. jobs excluding farm work, private household employment, and a few other categories. The monthly Employment Situation release also includes the unemployment rate.
Jobs prints reshape growth and Fed path expectations. Markets watch the change vs prior month and revisions — not a single absolute level in isolation.
See /markets/macro/nfp. When OpenBB/FRED provides a verified PAYEMS reading, Brief and ECO surfaces may cite it with as-of; otherwise they abstain.
