The US economy created more new jobs than expected in February, while an increase in the unemployment rate for the first time in four months and downard revisions to job growth in prior months suggested signs of some softening in the US labor market.


 The US economy added 275,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in February, significantly more additions than the 200,000 expected by economists. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate increased to 3.9% from 3.7% in January.


Friday's report also brought revisions to the January reading. After an initially expected 353,000 jobs were added, revisions showed a more modest 229,000 nonfarm payroll job additions in the month.

U.S.-based employers announced 84,638 cuts in February, up 3% from the 82,307 cuts announced one month prior. It is 9% higher than the 77,770 cuts announced in the same month in 2023, according to a report released Thursday from global outplacement and business and executive coaching firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc.
February’s total is the highest for the month since 2009, when 186,350 job cuts were announced in the second month of the year.So far this year, companies have announced plans to cut 166,945 jobs, down 7.6% from the 180,713 cuts announced in January and February last year. With the exclusion of the first two months of last year, it is the highest January through February total since 2009 which saw 428,099 cuts announced during the first two months of the year.


“As we navigate the start of 2024, we’re witnessing a persistent wave of layoffs. Businesses are aggressively slashing costs and embracing technological innovations, actions that are significantly reshaping staffing needs,” stated Andrew Challenger, labor and workplace expert and Senior Vice President of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc.

I agree, which is a good thing, to an extent...look at these charts and tell me it's still "a good thing"...

Name me another country on the planet that handled its post-COVID economic recovery with lower cost increases.  

Biden didn't **** up America's economy, COVID and the war in Ukraine **** up the whole world's economy.

I do.  But unlike you and your buds who are elsewhere I don't do it with topics I am not familiar with.  When I do get into the weeds you suffer tremendous embarrassment.

That has actually never happened, except in the dramatized version.

Not once...

Explain that to @ConsRule  . He called me a liar for claiming there wasn't a vaccine on election day.

It is not a "talking point", it is just a fact.  Biden was elected by a population of folks who did not have a vaccine available for the deadly pandemic they found themselves in the midst of.

Biden's administration dealt with rolling out a vaccine that had been created with an entirely new process to a wary public.  They dealt with the global supply chain havoc that the pandemic created.  They dealt with Russia invading Ukraine and what all that did to the global food supply and the global recession that resulted from all that concurrent upheaval.  In fact, the USA did better coming out of the pandemic than nearly anywhere else on the planet and our economy is now in better shape than anyone else's.  If you want to whine about how **** the economy is under Biden, move to some other country whose leaders did a BETTER job than Biden did.  Oh wait... there ARE no such countries.  Quit yer bitchin'.

Seriously @Huey ... Just explain to me what you found to be "idiotic" in this post.

No...you're lying.

You don't.
