US payrolls fall shy of forecasts but jobless rate shows unexpected fall...

Friday’s US jobs numbers sent the usual mixed signals about the state of the labour market. There was some disappointment that headline payrolls number didn’t print above the zero mark as had been expected (non-farm payrolls fell by 20k last month against expectations for a 15k gain). However, other news from the report was better than forecast. Notably, the unemployment rate fell by 0.3% to 9.7% vs. the consensus for an unchanged reading of 10%.
