Today we get UK unemployment data for the three months to the end of September.The labour market has been holding up well despite the slowdown in economic growth.
However, analysts believe that employment fell during the third quarter. If so - and particularly if the fall is worse than expected - then it would confirm the Bank of England's growing concern that the next move in interest rates could be down rather than up.
Wages are still growing strongly. They rose at an annual rate of 3.8% last time, which is expected to continue for this release.
