Payrolls Manufacturing Probably Grew US SMF Economic Indicators 


Date: 11/29/2010



Payrolls and manufacturing probably expanded in November as the U.S. recovery showed signs of a pickup heading into 2011, economists said before reports this week. Employment increased by 145,000 workers this month after a 151,000 gain in October that marked the biggest advance since May, according to the median forecast of 67 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News ahead of Labor Department data on Dec. 3. A report from factory purchasing managers may show assembly lines kept churning as exports and business spending climbed.More jobs and bigger paychecks are giving consumers the confidence and means to spend, brightening the outlook for retailers like Lord & Taylor and Macy's Inc. during the holiday season. At the same time, payrolls aren't growing fast enough to lower the jobless rate, one reason why Federal Reserve policy makers have said they will keep priming the monetary pump.
