A double nonfarm payrolls report will be released on Tuesday. <strong>We expect that 93k jobs were added to the US economy in October, <\/strong>which is in-line with job gains suggested by October JOLTS data after netting out total separations from new hires (keeping in mind BLS temporarily suspended the alignment process so we could see revisions to JOLTS data). Furloughed federal workers who were not paid during the shutdown will be counted as employed in the NFP report so we will not see a distortion from the government sector in the October data. <strong>For November, we expect that an additional 89k jobs were added.<\/strong> We continue to see the bulk of job gains stemming from structural job creation in sectors like health care while trade-exposed sectors, like manufacturing where we expect continued declines. Still, cyclical services sector hiring improved in September (notably in leisure and hospitality), and we expect these improvements will continue. The ISM Services employment index has ticked up 2.5ppts through November since bottoming in July. Despite stabilization to prior months\u2019 weakness, we face a labor market that advances its low-hiring, low-firing backdrop. We will not get an unemployment rate print for October due to shutdown disruptions to the household survey, but <strong>we anticipate that the unemployment rate will hold steady at 4.4% in November.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/en\/economics\/us-analysis\/us-featured-analysis\/us-breakeven-employment-is-falling\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dig-id=\"LP-U.S.WeekAhead-5892-611e05d6\" data-dig-category=\"LP-U.S.WeekAhead\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"our estimates point to a breakeven employment pace of 40K monthly\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">our estimates point to a breakeven employment pace of 40K monthly<\/a>, we still do not expect the unemployment rate to fall despite consecutive payroll prints at more than double that pace. The reason for this is that the CES (payroll) data will likely be revised lower. The annual QCEW benchmark revisions (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/news.release\/prebmk.nr0.htm\" target=\"_blank\" data-dig-id=\"LP-U.S.WeekAhead-5892-611e05d6\" data-dig-category=\"LP-U.S.WeekAhead\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"911,000 through March 2025\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">911,000 through March 2025<\/a>) earlier this year pointed to monthly payroll gains that were on average -70k lower than what was previously published. Chair Powell acknowledged this himself at the December FOMC meeting when he stated, &#8220;<em>So, there is an overcount in the payroll job numbers we think, continuing, and it will be corrected.<\/em>&#8221; If we continue to see an overestimation of a similar magnitude, we would still likely be witnessing employment growth that is either at or slightly below breakeven levels. Additionally, administrative data from the Social Security Administration suggests retirements are exceeding the pace of labor force exits reported in the household survey. Both revisions will likely show up in the data in Q1 2026. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also get the CPI data next week, but only for November \u2013 October\u2019s report was cancelled due to the government shutdown. Without the October CPI report, we lack the prior month\u2019s data needed to calculate November\u2019s month-over-month change. This will limit our ability to assess tariff passthrough in trade-exposed sectors. Even so, the hurdle for core inflation to tick up on a year-over-year basis is relatively high (+0.3% m\/m last November). Since we do not expect core inflation to clear this hurdle, <strong>our forecast calls for core inflation to hold steady at 3.0% in November. Headline inflation will likely tick up to 3.1%, <\/strong>thanks to upward pressure from energy and a continued drift higher in food prices. Importantly, next Friday brings the delayed Consumer Expenditure Survey (CEX) release, which is used to re-calculate the CPI basket weights each year. Should we find that consumers have spent relatively more on services in 2024, this would mean that services will gain more weight in the CPI basket relative to goods and mechanically could help \u201coffset\u201d some tariff pressure. Nonetheless, we still expect core inflation will remain stubbornly above 3.0% y\/y for most of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1085\" height=\"914\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/en\/economics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/12\/Chart-US-WA-Dec12-25.png?quality=80\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5912\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/en\/economics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/12\/Chart-US-WA-Dec12-25.png 1085w, https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/en\/economics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/12\/Chart-US-WA-Dec12-25.png?resize=300,253 300w, https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/en\/economics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/12\/Chart-US-WA-Dec12-25.png?resize=768,647 768w, https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/en\/economics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/12\/Chart-US-WA-Dec12-25.png?resize=1024,863 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1085px) 100vw, 1085px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of jobs data and inflation, next week we are also watching:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p><strong>Headline retail sales likely fell -0.6% m\/m in October, as weaker motor vehicle sales will weigh on total spending.<\/strong> <strong>The retail sales control group <\/strong>(which excludes auto sales, gasoline, building materials and restaurant spending) <strong>likely held steady.<\/strong> September retail sales data pointed to consumers losing steam; after a sizeable pull forward in spending in earlier months, we could expect to see more subdued spending heading into the holiday shopping season.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p><strong>Initial jobless claims will likely normalize the week of December 13<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 we expect to see claims tick up by 215k.<\/strong> This is after a notable upside for the week ending December 6<sup>th<\/sup>.
