The US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report for January 2026 showed a strong job market:
- *Job Growth:* 130,000 new jobs, beating expectations of 70,000
- *Unemployment Rate:* 4.3%, lowest since August
- *Average Hourly Earnings:* 0.5% month-over-month increase
- *Sector Growth:* Healthcare (82,000), Social Assistance (42,000), Construction (33,000)
This report indicates a positive economic trend, but some experts caution it's a single-month snapshot and not necessarily indicative of a sustained recovery.
