US Non-Farm Payrolls | December 16, 2025 Update 🇺🇸
The latest U.S. jobs data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is out — and it brought mixed signals for the economy:
Non-Farm Payrolls (Nov): +64,000 jobs added, higher than the expected 50,000.
October revision: -105,000 jobs, reflecting previous declines now confirmed.
Unemployment Rate: 4.6%, the highest in several years.
Sector Highlights: Jobs gains led by health care, construction & social assistance, while government employment continued to shrink.
Wage Growth: Average hourly earnings rose modestly, but remain soft.
What this means:
Job creation outpaced forecasts — a positive surprise.
But weak overall growth, higher unemployment, and delayed data (due to earlier government shutdown) paint a cautious picture for the labor market.
Markets showed volatility after the report, as investors weighed the mixed signals.
