U.S. Job Growth Remains Weak

Source: Dukascopy Bank SA
In September 2025, the U.S. economy added 119,000 jobs, continuing a period of weak job growth that has lasted since the spring. The unemployment rate stayed at 4.4 percent, slightly higher than it was a year earlier. This report was released more than six weeks late because of a federal government shutdown. September household data were collected before the shutdown, but some establishment data came from businesses that submitted information on their own during the shutdown. There will be no October jobs report; October data will be combined with November's and released in mid-December.



Wages rose slightly. Average hourly earnings for private workers increased to $36.67 and were up 3.8 percent over the year. The average workweek stayed at 34.2 hours. Revisions to earlier months lowered July and August job totals by a combined 33,000.
