This reflects a significant slowdown from 2024, driven by weakness in federal government and financial sectors, while health care and social assistance provided the main job gains.
Key 2025 Payroll Employment Details:
Total Annual Gains: Revised downward from initial estimates to 181,000 for the entire year.
Monthly Average: Approximately 15,000 jobs per month, making it the weakest year for employment growth since 2020.
You moron, that's the sign of a strong and robust job market.....you're not tonguing Biden's *** anymore and calling it a chocolate eclaire.
