Those who cheered last month’s U.S. labor report and feel better days are ahead for the economy may be disappointed with the latest data due on Friday, contrary to what some economists say.

The consensus from a Reuters poll of 71 economists is for 200,000 jobs to have been created in March. The strong forecasts come on the back of the 236,000 jobs gained in February when economists had predicted only 160,000.
