📢 The Hiring Hype is Over! 😱📉
The latest U.S. jobs reports are in, and the era of explosive job growth is officially behind us. The nonfarm payroll data shows a market hitting the brakes, with the unemployment rate climbing to a four-year high of 4.6% in November 2025.
After consistent gains through early 2024, the slowdown in late 2024 and 2025 is stark.
Here's the stunning shift in monthly nonfarm payroll changes:
🔻Peak Growth (Early 2024): Months like March 2024 saw gains of over +300,000 jobs.
🔻The October Plunge (2025): The economy lost a shocking 105,000 jobs, reflecting significant federal government cuts.
🔻November 2025: A slight recovery to +64,000 jobs, but job growth has been minimal since April 2025.
The market is cooling rapidly. Healthcare and construction were among the few sectors adding jobs in November 2025, while others remained flat.
If you're job hunting or managing a business, prepare for a tighter labor market!
