US Job Report Preview: Could Today’s Data Shake the Market?

Today’s U.S. job report could be one of the most talked‑about economic releases of 2026. On February 11, 2026, the Bureau of Labor Statistics is set to publish delayed January employment data after a brief government funding lapse. Economists currently expect about 75,000 new nonfarm payrolls, slightly higher than December’s weak 50,000 gain, but still far below long‑term norms.
