Nonfarm payrolls growth is expected at 110k in June per the broad Bloomberg consensus after a slightly stronger than expected 139k in May but one that was offset by a large two-month downward revision of -95k.
Specific factors at play this month:
- Returning strikers to add 5.6k to payrolls, with 1.4k on strike in the June reference period vs 7k in May (SAG-AFTRA and IAM strikes concluded).
- Supreme Court allows White House to revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of ~350k Venezuelans. GS see this dragging 25k whilst UBS estimate 5k with a range of 0-10k. JPM on the matter note continued uncertainty: “However, a lawsuit related to this is still ongoing, and the TPS page for Venezuela says that TPS documentation granted before February 5, 2025 will remain valid until October 2, 2026 pending resolution of the case.”
- JPM also on the Supreme Court on May 30 allowing “the government to move forward with terminating parole granted to ~530k people under the CHNV program. That does not mean every parolee, though, will be deported, as some may have other status or a pending asylum case.”
