U.S. Jobs Data — Quick Take
Fresh numbers show the U.S. labor market is losing momentum:
Job growth came in below expectations
Unemployment ticked slightly higher
Hiring continues to cool across multiple industries
Job openings remain elevated, but employers are more cautious
What it means:
The economy isn’t falling off a cliff, but it is slowing. A softer job market could shape upcoming interest rate decisions and weigh on overall market sentiment.
Is this just a momentary cooldown — or the beginning of a broader trend?
