The Day Ahead: Employment Data

It's a big day with the release of November employment data.

In the U.S., economists are expecting nonfarm payrolls to decline 333,000 in November, following 240,000 jobs lost in October. The unemployment rate is also expected to move higher to 6.8% following October's reading of 6.5%.

The Big 3 U.S. automakers CEOs will continue their testimony in Washington as they plea for a $34 billion bridge loan before the House Financial Services Committee Hearing.

Markets will also be interested to see how consumer credit is faring in the current crisis. U.S. consumer credit is expected to come in at $2 billion, down from last month's $6.9 billion figure.
