I was just reading the news analysis forum and wanted to get a better understanding of the NFP.
From what I gather, there are two values that are released at news time. One is an actual report of last month's figures, while the other is an estimate of what next month's number will be.
My question is, which number is being awaited on for the release? is it both numbers or the actual numbers for the previous month? On the calendar I see 90k. is that 90k an estimate of this month's activity or was it the actual number for last month?
thanks.
