You might have noticed in Wall Street previews of the jobs report, that most economists are saying payrolls will be hit by a 30,000 drag from the auto strike that has now ended. Why that particular number? It comes from a separate Labor Department report, called the Current Employment Statistics Strike Report. .
You can see the numbers here: There were 48,100 on strike in October, including 25,300 at Ford, General Motors and Stellantis. That's just a preliminary number, and it doesn't count secondary strike effects, i.e. the workers not on the job because the auto workers were striking. It also doesn't count replacement workers.
