+29K jobs gained last month (mid-Aug to mid-Sept).
-60K jobs in revisions of prior 2 months.

The big picture

For context, the hire rate is very low, like in 2011.

This is from #JOLTS data, not #JobsDay

#JobsDay numbers came in well below expectations (+29k jobs). Revisions reversed the narrative of a strong end-of-summer hiring boom (-60k fewer than reported). Trump's economy fails to deliver jobs for Americans as job growth slows, unemployment increases (4.2%), and inflation outpaces wages

September #JobsDay numbers show job growth has slowed with payrolls rising by only 29,000. Unemployment rose slightly to 4.2%, and payrolls were revised down by 60,000 for the months of July and August. (1/7)

I'm just a country economist who's happy when people get jobs

But if you want Line Go Up, you need a JobsDay bloodbath in the next 10 minutes
Push comes to shove in a few minutes... less-hawkish Fed speak this week... but a hot NFP could change the tone @fundstrat @fundstratdirect

But Tom Lee says the market is a "coiled spring"

#JobsDay 🧵: September's job numbers just dropped, and tells us a bad overall picture: our labor market is weaker than 4.2% unemployment suggests.

Our labor market is facing some extreme challenges, such as the fact that men continue to fall behind women in employment growth, as seen on the graph.

🚨🚨🚨 “Black women’s unemployment rate jumped dramatically from 5.6 percent in August to 6.8 percent in September, driven by more Black women joining the labor market but not being able to find work.”

This actually tracks well w/ jobsday payrolls:

Slowing wage growth on an AHE basis, but almost all recent payroll gains were in low wage sectors
Atl Fed Wage Tracker.. bit of a hook there. Bears watching on the inflation front. @soberlook

It's #JobsDay. While Black unemployment overall is down, labor force participation is also down aka fewer Black people are job hunting or working compared to this time last year.

Not great.

Happy #JobsDay! Unemployment remains unchanged from the prior month, but the economy added 162k jobs from the prior month. Big revisions to prior months due to seasonal adjustments, with June and July 55k more than previously reported

It’s happened gradually, and looks worse upon revisions but the job market has gotten consistently softer since March

JobsDay isn’t going to tell us the economy is in trouble or in the clear

Could be big clues on seasonality today, more in my preview
