U.S. employers added just 143,000 jobs last month, but the jobless rate fell to 4% to start 2025. The first monthly jobs report of Donald Trump’s second presidency suggested he’s inherited a solid but unspectacular U.S. labor market.

Why is USA jobs data world news?
- USA is part of the world. Not everyone on Lemmy is US-based.
  
  there’s a sub called news and it’s full of american news
  
  so world news is by default not american news
- Especially this report. I'm American and even I'm not that interested in this. If it continues, I guess maybe fed rates and inflation will drop a bit?
Just wait for the February numbers….
And now trump and his idiocracy will ruin it just like they did with what obama left them
