🚨 US Jobs Report Update (Dec 2025) 🚨
The data dropped today and it’s a mixed read, leaning slightly dovish.
Key points:
• Nonfarm Payrolls: +50K
Missed expectations and shows hiring is still slowing. 2025 added only ~584K jobs in total, the weakest pace since the pandemic outside recessions.
• Unemployment Rate: 4.4%
A small improvement, helped by labor force adjustments. No major stress signals yet.
• Avg Hourly Earnings YoY: +3.8%
Wages remain sticky. Inflation is still something the Fed has to respect.
• MoM Earnings: +0.3%
Right in line with expectations.
Big picture:
The labor market is cooling, not breaking. It’s very much a “no hire, no fire” environment. This keeps rate cut hopes alive, though January is still a long shot. Most expectations are shifting toward cuts later in 2026.
Markets liked the report. Stocks moved higher on rate cut optimism, and crypto followed with strength.
