Here's what 15 top Wall Street economists are expecting from Friday's jobs report

On Friday, we'll learn how many jobs were created in September by US firms.

The consensus expectation is for 200,000 new nonfarm payrolls, the lowest level since March 2014. Gains are expected to be driven by the addition of 198,000 private payrolls.

Lately, the jobs report has gained heightened importance as it has the potential to sway the Federal Reserve's plan for monetary policy.

The Fed meets on October 27 and 28. While most do not expect the Fed to hike rates at that meeting, Fed Chair Janet Yellen has confirmed that October hasn't been ruled out.

We'll certainly get a better sense of what's to come after we get the September jobs report.

To get you ready, we've complied the forecasts from 15 of the top Wall Street economists. Everyone is expecting improvement from last month's headline number of 173,000. Expectations for September's gains range from 180,000 to 225,000.
