Help Me Understand Unemployment Report Effects on Stock Market

Hey guys,

The unemployment report obviously contributed a lot to the volatility in the stock market recently - I was wondering whether you think analysts/the stock market care more about the household survey data or the establishment survey data. I was thinking the establishment survey because the wage levels & number of jobs created seem a lot more relevant to changes in the market. After all, this data gives insight into future interest rate hikes and inflation. Am I wrong? Is the household survey a better indicator of economic health?

Thanks!
