Clarksville Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of May 29th, 2017
Clarksville, TN – Next week, a number of important economic data reports will arrive, but the focus is expected to be on the May employment figures. Recent labor market data suggest that the tight job market has grown tighter still.
Over the next several months, the pace of job growth is expected to be restrained by a lack of qualified workers. The unemployment rate is likely to remain low (it was 3.9% in April).
Frazier Allen
Average hourly earnings figures tend to be quirky – monthly changes are choppy and often revised the next month – but the trend has remained moderate.
Other data reports (the Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index, the 1Q18 GDP revision, the core PCE Price Index) have some market-moving potential.
