Friday's US jobs report - JPM forecast NFP headline at 200K (says a recession is underway)

The jobs report is due Friday at 1230 GMT.

• We expect US job growth to soften to 200K in Friday’s report and maintain our marker that a sustained rise in initial claims to 275K or higher would signal a US recession is underway
