US labor market data continues to underwhelm this year. Though positive job gains might be sufficient for FED to hike rate for the first time since 2006, this year. Stronger improvement will be required for subsequent hikes.
After ADP employment disappointed to downside, Non-farm payroll number slightly missed estimate, Labor market condition index remains stagnant, today preliminary reading of US labor productivity and unit labor costs underwhelmed again.
Productivity, a measure of how efficiently inputs such as labour and capital are used, climbed at 1.3 per cent annual pace in the second quarter, lower than analysts' estimate of 1.6%.
