Goldman April Payrolls Review
A few brief excerpts from a note by Goldman Sachs economist Spencer Hill:
We estimate nonfarm payrolls declined by 24 million in April.
...
We estimate the unemployment rate rose from 4.4% to 14.0%.
…
In interpreting tomorrow’s report, we will pay special attention to the number and share of workers on furlough or temporary layoff.
