Economists project that America added 182,000 jobs last month and that unemployment dipped down to 4.8%.
The American job market remains the nation's bright spot even as parts of the U.S. economy are flashing warnings signs.
That would be a solid number, but a far cry from the gains last July when the country added 277,000 jobs. Although the U.S. has gained over 1 million jobs so far this year, it had already added 1.3 million positions by this time last year.
But the slowing job gains is also a symptom of a healthy labor market: unemployment is very low and wage growth is starting to show signs of life. Unemployment, which is currently at 4.9%, is the lowest since early 2008 before the Great Recession began.
If we are going to see a good report - meaning that the numbers will be higher than the expectations, we are likely to see the USD jump against the EUR and other major currencies and the Gold and Silver to go down.
