ROMANS: All right, happy Friday. Let's get an EARLY START on your money. It looks like a happy Friday for stocks. Asian and European stocks are higher this morning so are U.S. stock futures. It could be another record day especially if the November jobs report is strong. That report comes out at 8:30 Eastern Time. Economists poll bid CNN money expect 228,000 net new jobs added and unemployment rate to stay steady at 5.8 percent. If those numbers are accurate, November will be the 10th month in a row with 200,000 jobs added on track for the best year of job growth since 1999. What isn't growing, wages, wage growth stuck in low gear around the world. Average wages grew just 2 percent last year according to the International Labor Office. A lot of that growth came from China. Look at that, 7 percent wage growth in China. Take China out of the picture, the rest of the world saw wages grow just 1.1 percent. Workers here in the U.S. saw real wage growth look at that, 0.3 percent. I'll get a new reading on wages at 8:30 a.m., watching very closely for any sign pay may be picking up. College is certainly expensive, but in most states did you know child care is more expensive than in-state college tuition? A new report from child care aware finds child care costs eat deeply into family budgets. Families at the poverty line can spend 85% of their income on child care. Parents in Massachusetts pay the most. Look at that, more than $16,000 a year to care for an infant. A lot of news to cover this morning, including thousands of people taking to the streets across the United States, they are demanding police reforms. "NEW DAY" has that and a whole lot more starting right now.
