Analysis Summary
Goldman Sachs estimates the Iran oil shock will suppress payroll growth by roughly 10,000 jobs per month through the end of 2026. The employment impact will primarily result from reduced hiring in industries most sensitive to discretionary spending, hitting sectors like restaurants, hotels, and retail hardest. This projection assumes the Strait of Hormuz disruption continues for about six weeks; prolonged conflict would worsen the drag on employment.
