  • The September jobs report showed that the U.S. economy added 263,000 workers last month versus expectations of a gain of 250,000 payrolls. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate fell to 3.5%, two-tenths of a percent below forecasts
  • Average hourly earnings rose 0.3% on a monthly basis and 5.0% compared to a year ago, matching estimates
  • The resilient labor market is likely to keep the Fed on a hawkish path
Immediately following the release of the September jobs report, the U.S. dollar, as measured by the DXY index, spiked higher, bolstered by a solid jump in U.S. Treasury yields. Meanwhile, S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures plunged into negative territory, falling more than 1.5% at the time of writing.


Thanks President Biden
 
Good news
Maybe the Stock Market will respond
 
Can someone explain to a Dummy, me, why the dollar is so strong?

Is the USA in so much better shape, with a better future prediction, than other countries?

How does that work?
 
We are heading into a major recession. Companies are laying off. The Dow has dropped because of it. The Fed is raising rates in a hope of curbing rampant inflation. We are still not back to where we were almost two years ago with the small addition of jobs.
But I guess if that helps someone feel better about things then crow away
 
Wages up .03%, inflation is 8.5%. Break open the champagne!! wooo hooo!!!

Meanwhile, OPEC tells the child molester to go sniff kids, they're cutting production 2 million barrels a day to drive up oil prices. And since Biden made sure we're reliant on their oil and not our own, this guarantees gas prices will spike just before the midterms.

Let's Go Brandon!!
 
This is the strangest recession we ever had, with employment low and wages rising

Because wages rising at .03% are not close to the rate of inflation at 8.5%. When my paycheck is 26 dollars more a month but my food bill goes from 50 dollars a week to 150 a week, that "wage rise" disappears really fast.

Also, the unemployment rate dropped largely because a large number of people dropped out of the workforce.

Our economic woes are energy based, driving inflation higher nor is there a quick or certain solution. Labor numbers are a misleading indicator as it it ignores the core problem.
 
Economic news is always going be mixed. Big challenges remain front and center. But this is good news, especially when so many are hoping for disaster.

$11 trillion in stimulus spending coupled with collapsed supply chains have put us here.
It's somewhat good news for now, but future indicators are not positive. The problem is, the last time we saw some of these mixed signals we were heading into the Carter doldrums. Stagflation is a real concern.

It is clear why you call yourself "skew". Our economy is in the crapper thanks to the Democrats and the Fed.

More Nazicrat LIES!!!

Wages are DOWN!!!

Wages are now so far DOWN, they are back to Obama regime levels, and STILL going DOWN!!!

People are STILL getting laid off, as companies are STILL cutting back!!!

And on top of companies continuing to lay off, companies are continuing to make it NEAR IMPOSSIBLE for anybody to find a job, as they are now asking for DEGREES for the most inane and brainless jobs out there!! Jobs that are 100% on the job training are now "Bachelors degree required"!!

Companies that were paying $15.00 an hour because of all that wage shit protesting going some time ago, are now back to paying $10 - $13 an hour, and they are continuing to cut wages!!

Jobs that WERE paying $15 an over during Trumps administration are now paying $10.00 an hour.
