U.S. employers may have produced 200,000-plus job growth in September, a potentially reassuring sign after a hiring slowdown in August. Economists have forecast that employers added 215,000 jobs last month, according to a survey by FactSet. That would match the average monthly gain this year, up from last year’s average of 194,000. The unemployment rate is expected to remain 6.1 percent. The Labor Department will issue the September jobs report at 8:30 a.m.
