Preview: The first non-farm payroll of the "Wash Era" will be released tonight at 8:30 PM

2026.06.05 14:31:13

June 5: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will release May nonfarm payroll data tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET. Market consensus expects the U.S. added roughly 85,000 nonfarm jobs in May—a sharp pullback from the roughly 150,000 average gain in the prior two months—while the unemployment rate is projected to hold steady at 4.3%. Several firms have adopted a more cautious outlook on this nonfarm data: Goldman Sachs forecasts only 60,000 new jobs in May, pointing to weakened high-frequency employment metrics it tracks. EY expects an additional 50,000 jobs, with slight upward pressure on the unemployment rate. Vanguard’s chief economist Adam Schickling projects just a 20,000 job increase, attributing it to unseasonably warm and dry weather at the start of the year that boosted payrolls from January through April—an effect that may partially reverse in May. On the monetary policy front, if nonfarm data broadly meets expectations, the Federal Reserve is most likely to hold rates steady at its June 16–17 policy meeting. EY’s chief economist Gregory Daco noted that given a stable labor market and persistently high inflation, there’s a heightened chance the Fed issues more hawkish forward guidance at its next gathering. Policymakers may underscore that if inflation proves stickier, further rate hikes remain on the table.

Palantir CEO: AI could multiply his wealth by 20 times while exacerbating social wealth inequality.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp recently stated that artificial intelligence (AI) could unlock massive wealth growth opportunities, but gains from the technology will be highly concentrated among a small group of tech and capital owners, further widening global wealth inequality. In an interview with the MDMeets podcast, Karp noted that AI will improve living standards for the general public, but those involved in developing and controlling AI technology could see wealth growth far outpace that of ordinary workers. He projected that AI could even multiply his own wealth roughly 20 times, pushing his net worth close to $300 billion. Karp’s current personal fortune stands at around $15 billion, driven largely by Palantir’s recent growth in AI and the company’s rising valuation. He added that middle-class incomes could double over the next decade, citing an example of a $70,000 annual salary rising to $140,000, but this would pale in comparison to the hundreds of billions in wealth gains for AI’s top beneficiaries. “There could be a total disconnect between wealth and ordinary prosperity,” Karp said, warning that AI-driven wealth concentration will become a social issue. Karp is no AI skeptic; he is a major beneficiary of the AI industry. Palantir currently has a market cap of around $322 billion, with core business areas including AI platforms, data analytics, and AI applications for government and corporate clients. In recent years, multiple tech and finance leaders have voiced similar concerns. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink noted that early AI gains are flowing primarily to owners of models, data, and infrastructure; the so-called “godfather of AI” Geoffrey Hinton has warned that the wealthy could use AI to replace labor, leading to higher unemployment and further profit concentration.
