October Jobs Report: A Market Holding On or Starting to Slip?
October’s job growth took a breather, adding only 12,000 jobs—way below the expected 100,000 and a sharp drop from September’s 223,000. Key sectors like healthcare (+52,000) and government (+40,000) showed strength, but manufacturing struggled with a 46,000-job loss, mainly from strikes like Boeing’s. Despite the slower job growth, the unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%, and wages inched up 0.4% month-over-month. Temporary disruptions, including hurricanes and strikes, played a role in the low numbers. With inflation cooling, the Fed is likely to cut rates to support the economy. It’s a sign of a market finding its balance, rather than a full stop.
