First Jobs Report Of 2025: Labor Market Still Solid
The Labor Department has released its first jobs report of the year, covering January 2025. It shows that payrolls grew by 143,000 — somewhat lower than economists’ expectations of 175,000. On the other hand, payroll growth for the end of 2024 was revised up quite a bit. Over the past 3 months, payroll growth has averaged a very strong 234,000.
Friday’s report provided evidence of slowing expansion. The 143,000 jobs added would be the weakest January total since 2016.
