U.S. Job Market Shows Signs of Improvement with 130,000 New Jobs in January
Originally: U.S. unexpectedly adds 130,000 jobs in January after a weak 2025
In January, U.S. employers added 130,000 jobs, leading to a decrease in the unemployment rate to 4.3%. This positive development follows a weak job market in 2025, where hiring was significantly lower than initially reported. Despite the job gains, concerns remain about the overall health of the labor market, with revisions showing nearly 900,000 fewer jobs than previously counted last March.
