Following the poorest year for new jobs since the Covid-19 pandemic, job growth in the US accelerated last month. According to the Labour Department, employers created more than 130,000 jobs in January than anticipated, which helped push the jobless rate down to 4.3%.
After last year’s severe recession, when businesses struggled with developments like significant government spending cuts, tariff uncertainties, and an immigration crackdown, the numbers may allay concerns about the state of the labour market. The most recent statistics shows that the US added only 181,000 jobs in 2025, which is even less than what was previously thought.
A number of economists agree with the White House’s argument that the US needs to produce fewer jobs each month because of the slowing in population growth brought on by its immigration policies.
However, in order to stimulate the economy, President Donald Trump has been depending on the US central bank to lower interest rates. Due to anomalies in the statistics, analysts warned that January’s employment gains, nearly twice as many as many had anticipated, may appear more robust than they actually are.
