Wall Street will see a holiday-shortened week, with Monday being Labor Day. Investors will still have plenty to look forward to, especially in terms of economic data. The labor market will be firmly in the spotlight, with the latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) scheduled for Wednesday, followed by ADP's monthly report on private employment on Thursday.

Things come to a head on Friday, which will see the release of the August nonfarm payrolls report. Note that the July payrolls update had sparked growth concerns and had led to "Black Monday 2024." The jobs data is also expected to solidify the size of the anticipated rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September.

Taking a look at next week's earnings calendar, some notable names that will announce their numbers include cloud security firm Zscaler (ZS), retailers DICK'S Sporting Goods (DKS) and Dollar Tree (DLTR), and chipmaker Broadcom (AVGO).

IPOs
IPO watch: Powell Max Limited (PMAX) is the only IPO expected to price next week and begin to trade.
