Several firms have adopted a more cautious outlook on this nonfarm data: Goldman Sachs forecasts only 60,000 new jobs in May, pointing to weakened high-frequency employment metrics it tracks. EY expects an additional 50,000 jobs, with slight upward pressure on the unemployment rate. Vanguard’s chief economist Adam Schickling projects just a 20,000 job increase, attributing it to unseasonably warm and dry weather at the start of the year that boosted payrolls from January through April—an effect that may partially reverse in May. On the monetary policy front, if nonfarm data broadly meets expectations, the Federal Reserve is most likely to hold rates steady a
