Jobs day is upon us again. Economists expect the United States to have added 205,000 jobs last month and for the unemployment rate to hold steady at 4.9%. But investors and the Federal Reserve will also be inspecting the details of the report, especially hours worked and wages earned. All of those details will be factored in as the Federal Reserve considers interest rate hikes this year. U.S. markets begin the second quarter of 2016 after wrapping up a quarter that included an epic collapse at the start of the year and then an impressive recovery since.
