🚨🇺🇲 ECONOMIC WARNING SIGNALS: The Jobless Rate JUMPS! 🚨
The US economy is feeling the chill! The latest official data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics reveals that the national seasonally adjusted unemployment rate has surged to a four-year high of 4.6% in November 2025.
This marks a significant increase from the peak employment levels we saw just two years prior (3.7% in November 2023).
Here's the trajectory that has economists worried:
🔻Nov 2023: 3.7%
🔻Nov 2024: 4.2%
🔻Nov 2025: 4.6%
The number of unemployed people has increased to 7.8 million. While the rate is still modest by historical standards, the steady upward trend since April 2023 is a clear sign of a weakening labor market.
We are seeing a significant rise in the broader U-6 unemployment rate as well, which includes discouraged workers and those working part-time for economic reasons, highlighting deeper issues beneath the headline number.
Is the long-feared economic slowdown finally here? 📉
