A few brief excerpts from a note by Goldman Sachs economist Spencer Hill:

We estimate nonfarm payrolls rose 1,300k in April (mom sa) ... We estimate a five-tenths decline in the unemployment rate to 5.5%, reflecting rapid job gains partially offset by an expected rise in the participation rate.
emphasis added

CR Note: The consensus is for 978 thousand jobs added, and for the unemployment rate to decrease to 5.7%.
