"The majority of economists surveyed by Bloomberg agency thought that this figure will be 165 000.The figures were significantly higher than forecast and led to the strengthening of the dollar in the foreign exchange market.Thus, the exchange rate of 1.1236 USD/EUR level, declined by 1% and made 1.1125 USD/EUR.
