US economy added 50,000 jobs in December, capping off one of the weakest years of job gains in decades​

Hiring slowed more than expected in December, a sluggish end to what was one of the weakest years of job growth in decades, a dynamic that further amplified America’s affordability crisis.

The US economy added an estimated 50,000 jobs last month, slowing from a downwardly revised 56,000 jobs added in November, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Friday.

Still, the unemployment rate edged lower to 4.4% from a revised 4.5% in November.

With December’s estimated job gains, which are subject to revision, the US economy added just 584,000 jobs last year. Outside of recession years, that’s the weakest annual job growth seen since 2003, BLS data shows.

And those meager gains were driven almost entirely by a couple of industries.

“The United States is in a jobless boom,” Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union, said in an interview with CNN. “There was almost no hiring in 2025 … we would be talking about job losses in 2025, if it weren’t for health care and social assistance.”

No, but I'm guessing you hate Israel enough to let the entire region go up on nuclear fire.

The fact you don't realize 25% of the US economy depends upon free trade is odd, but expected of a delusional globalist-cocksucker.

The wealthy and the investor class are doing extremely well thanks to Trump. Consumer spending is being driven by upper income and affluent people who had their pockets lined with disposable cash because of Trump's tax cuts for the rich.

Why did you studiously avoid discussing the jobs market?

Lowest job creation in twenty years, UE hovering at 4.4 or 4.5, still too many unfilled jobs.

Jakey, that's one number, do you know about other numbers? LOL. I'll try to walk you through the process one step at a time. So go find what's called another metric used to evaluate the economy and come back with that number.
