#usnonfarmpayrollreport
The latest #USNonfarmPayroll report (Dec 2025 data, released Jan 9, 2026) showed a weak +50K jobs added—well below expectations and marking 2025 as the slowest hiring year since the pandemic era (only 584K total jobs for the year).

Impact on economy & policy:

Signals a clear slowdown: hiring stalled, with losses in retail, construction, & manufacturing—pointing to cautious businesses amid uncertainty.
Unemployment dipped to 4.4% (from 4.5%), offering some labor-market resilience (fewer layoffs), but overall growth is fragile.
This boosts the case for more Fed rate cuts in 2026 to support growth and prevent a deeper stall—markets are pricing in easier policy ahead, potentially lifting stocks & weakening the USD short-term.

A mixed bag: not recessionary yet, but soft enough to keep policymakers on alert. What are your thoughts—cut soon or hold? 🚀📉
