The strong of monthly estimates force to revise the quarterly forecasts. The Q3 figure is revised up by a total of 2.5pts with September, now it is expected a steady gain of 1.3pts.
At an average monthly increment of around 4pts, the index is in good path to recover the labor market losses in around 8 months, says Barclays.

Likewise, unemployment rate is reduced to 5.0%, wage rate posted a solid growth rate of 2.5% year on year.
