Wanted Technologies estimates the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will announce a loss of 155,000 jobs in November when the agency releases U.S. nonfarm payroll numbers on Friday. Nonfarm payrolls had fallen by 190,000 in October, according to the BLS.

Wanted said unemployment claims had decreased but other hiring demand indicators do not show enough of an improvement to indicate a more positive forecast.

Wanted's forecast is based, in part, on a weekly measure of online job ads.
