January Jobs Report. Weakest Since 2016

The first jobs report since President Donald Trump's inauguration came out Friday morning, falling short of headline expectations in the weakest start to a year for overall job growth since before the COVID-19 pandemic, though other data points revealed a resilient labor market.

January's employment update at 8:30 a.m. EST revealed the U.S. economy added 143,000 non-farm payrolls from December to January, on a seasonally adjusted basis.

Economists expected 170,000 new jobs, according to consensus economist forecasts compiled by FactSet.

But the unemployment rate was 4% last month, beating estimates of 4.1%, where it stood in December.

The government also reported 100,000 additional jobs added in November and December than previously shared.

Only took 10 days. Chaos is not a good business climate.

Congrats.
