US jobs growth stalls to just 29,000 in September
The US economy added just 29,000 jobs in September, sharply below forecasts and sending unemployment up to 4.2%.
The US economy added only 29,000 jobs in September, far below economists' forecast of 84,000, as employers pulled back on hiring amid economic headwinds. The unemployment rate rose to 4.2% from 4.1% the previous month. The weak figures come as the Federal Reserve considers whether to raise interest rates further, though investors largely expect the central bank to hold rates steady at its next meeting.
