About Non Farm Payrolls QoQ — France
DEFINITION
Non-Farm Payrolls QoQ is a widely recognized economic indicator that measures the change in the number of employed individuals in the United States, excluding farm workers, on a quarterly basis. This data is closely monitored by investors, policymakers, and analysts as it provides valuable insights into the overall health and direction of the US labor market. A positive QoQ change in non-farm payrolls is generally seen as a sign of a strong and growing economy, while a negative change may indicate a slowdown or contraction.
WHY THIS INDICATOR MATTERS
Labor-market data shapes consumer-spending forecasts and is closely tracked by central banks assessing the output gap and wage-inflation pass-through. The release is more useful as part of a longer-run signal than as a single-print catalyst. Released monthly.
WHAT CHANGED THIS MONTH
Latest reading (Jan 2026): actual -0.1 %, consensus -0.1 %. Prior reading (Jan 2026): -0.1 %. Before that (Oct 2025): -0.1 %.
WHAT'S NEXT
Sigmacast's 1-month forecast points to a higher reading versus the latest print, with the 3-month outlook reinforcing that direction. Both horizons are aligned bullish for this indicator, suggesting a consistent trend signal. Trend-driven dynamics are the primary tailwind in the current projection. This indicator correlates most strongly with EUR/GBP (Bullish EUR, r=0.47) — a useful reference for forex-focused traders.
