The U.S. employment report was slightly better than economists had expected, and that was worrisome, Paul Richards of UBS said Friday.

"I think it was a very good number and possibly just too good. Twenty-four hours ago, we were really worried about this number. You could see what was happening in the currency market," he said.

"I think it might have been 15,000 too good, and the reason i say that is that this market – somebody said on the floor it was 'Goldilocks' – in seven days' time we're going to be less than a week from the Fed discussing Goldilocks."

The Federal Open Market Committee is scheduled to meet June 18 and 19.

On CNBC's "Fast Money," Richards said that talk of tapering will be on the Fed's agenda, making the July 5 employment report even more critical.

"Come July 31, the Fed could start to taper," he said. "I don't think this floor or market is thinking that right now."

Richards noted that Fed members had been talking about tapering of its quantitative easing.

"What were they looking for? Jobs growth, in addition to the other good economic data that's been coming out and been consistently sound, housing, etc., so I think you've got to start pricing in the Fed talking about this more seriously and signaling it to the market and potentially, and very carefully, tapering maybe in the summer."
