As White House officials prepare for the last jobs report before the midterm elections, the last thing they want to see is a blowout hiring number

It’s the political paradox that looms over the last major piece of economic data before Election Day – one that comes at a moment that finds Democrats desperately trying to make up ground on the economy. Economists forecast a gain of roughly 200,000 jobs in October – a number that would land in the window of the 150,000 to 300,000 jobs added that White House officials are hoping to see. It would be the “Goldilocks” outcome for the White House – a number that’s not too low, but not too high.

The combination of continued job gains and a return to quarterly growth sit at the center of the Biden’s contention that, despite the dour national mood, the US economy is not in or on the precipice of a recession. “Our economy is strong as hell,” Biden told reporters last month. The tight labor market, however, has exacerbated the soaring price increases that have imperiled Democrats’ hold on their majorities in the House and Senate.
