US jobs growth is expected to have slowed in May, in one of the last key data releases before central bank officials decide whether to hold interest rates steady or push ahead with another increase at their next meeting.
Economists surveyed by Bloomberg estimate the US economy added 195,000 new non-farm jobs last month, down from 253,000 in April.
The unemployment rate is forecast to tick up from 3.4 per cent to 3.5 per cent, while month-on-month wage growth is expected to cool from 0.5 per cent to 0.3 per cent. However, wage growth is expected to remain high at 4.4 per cent on an annual basis, highlighting the tightness in the labour market.
