However, the data is also expected to show jobless rate remained near pre-pandemic lows at 3.6% and average hourly earnings increased 0.3% for a third straight month.
Meanwhile, European and Asian shares struggled after Japan’s former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe died on Friday hours after he was shot while campaigning for a parliamentary election.
