The biggest economic event of the month is here — the November jobs report.

At 8:30 a.m. ET, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the November jobs report, which should show the economy added 195,000 nonfarm payrolls in the second-to-last month of 2017. The unemployment rate is expected to hold at 4.1%, according to estimates from Bloomberg.

Economists will also keep an eye on wage growth, which rose a disappointing 2.4% over last year in October.
In markets, bitcoin (BTC-USDwill likely remain the big story.

The major U.S. indexes closed higher on Thursday, but the several-thousand-dollar price swings we saw in the value of bitcoin during the day captivated markets and made trading elsewhere a sideshow.

As of around 5:00 p.m. ET, the price of bitcoin was sitting near $16,275 according to Yahoo Finance’s compiled pricing from 60 exchanges. Coinbase, the most popular exchange for buying and selling bitcoin, was quoting the digital currency at around $16,855. Near noon eastern on Thursday, Coinbase had bitcoin briefly trading north of $19,000.
