NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- TheStreet's Brittany Umar, Jill Malandrino and Andrew Krill discuss what investors should watch this week.
First up,
Netflix
(NFLX) - Get Netflix Inc. Report
reports earnings after the close on Monday.
On Tuesday morning, traders expect to be busy interpreting the nonfarm payroll report for September. The report was delayed by the government shutdown.
Krill suggested that investors aren't sure whether the report will matter, because the data are so old.
Nonetheless, estimates have not changed, with economists expecting 180,000 jobs to be added during September and the unemployment rate to remain unchanged at 7.3%.
