Debates have played an outsized role this year — both in deciding the Republican primaries and now in bringing the presidential choice into sharper focus for many Americans.
But with no further debates and barring an unforeseen ‘‘October surprise,’’ one of the few remaining uncertainties is the government’s release of this month’s jobs report just four days before the election.
The September report showed a sharp unemployment rate drop to 7.8 percent, dipping under 8 percent for the first time since the start of Obama’s presidency. Was that an aberration or is the jobs picture really improving?
The October report could tell us — although it won’t matter to the many who have already voted early.
