The data is unlikely to show the big losses and gains that the US labour market has been releasing thanks mainly to the UK government\u2019s furlough scheme.<\/p>\n<p>The furlough scheme is expected to keep jobless claims figures under control for now. However, there is a good chance that the labour market will become more strained in the coming weeks and months and the scheme draws to a close.<\/p>\n<p>The unemployment rate is expected to show the 856,000 jobless claims in April, which is expected to push the unemployment rate to 4.6% after several months a multi-year lows of 3.9%.<\/p>\n<p>Brexit remains very much in the picture for sterling investors.
