The United States will see a series of labour‑market statistics released early in the week. On Tuesday the Labor Department is set to issue its Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey for September, followed by the weekly update on unemployment claims on Thursday. The closely watched monthly employment report, which details hiring by employers during October, will be published on Friday.

At the same time, a slate of corporate earnings reports will be filed. Clorox is slated to report on Monday, while Advanced Micro Devices and Super Micro Computer will release results on Tuesday. Online travel firms Booking Holdings and Expedia will follow on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively, and apparel makers Tapestry and Ralph Lauren will report on Thursday.

Analysts expect the data to show limited change in hiring and a modest rise in job openings, while corporate profit forecasts point to an overall 30% increase for S&P 500 companies, according to the full reports.

What the coverage left out

The right‑rated digest does not mention the projected 30% increase in S&P 500 profits that appears in the full left‑ and centre‑rated reports.

Still developing. We have re-checked which outlets are covering this 1 time, most recently on 31 Oct 2026, 14:30, and will add the sides that appear.

How each side covered it

Our own reading of the reporting listed below, written from the outlets’ articles rather than quoted from them. The reasoning is set out on our methodology page.

Left

8 rated outlets

  • All eight left‑rated outlets highlighted the stress on the jobs market and the inflation pressure on households. The Independent’s full article opened with the line, "The health of the jobs market, along with updates on several areas of the economy and corporate profits, will fill the calendar this week." It also noted the Federal Reserve’s likely rate hike, the impact of the war with Iran on fuel costs and the expectation that S&P 500 profits will rise by about 30%.

Centre

5 rated outlets

  • The five centre‑rated outlets reported the same schedule of data releases and earnings. Washington Top News, in its full report, described the upcoming JOLTS, unemployment claims and monthly employment report, and added commentary on inflation, the Federal Reserve’s policy dilemma and the war‑driven rise in oil prices. It also mentioned the corporate earnings lineup and the projected 30% profit increase for S&P 500 firms.

Right

1 rated outlet

  • The single right‑rated outlet, Owensboro Messenger‑Inquirer, noted the health of the jobs market, the upcoming data releases and the timing of the November 3 midterm elections. Its digest did not reference the expected 30% rise in corporate profits.
