Version 0.94 (2024-03-08 16:22:50.437000)

updates: The US economy added 275,000 jobs in February, surpassing expectations and demonstrating resilience despite high interest rates. The job market has been able to withstand 11 rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, with employers continuing to hire to meet consumer demand. However, despite positive economic indicators, many Americans express dissatisfaction with the state of the economy, which could impact President Joe Biden's re-election campaign. Inflation has eased, but average prices remain 17% higher than three years ago. The economy's growth has been supported by immigration, with foreign-born individuals accounting for 62% of job seekers. Wage growth remains a concern due to its potential contribution to inflation, but some economists argue that productivity gains can support higher wages without raising prices.

The unemployment rate increased to 3.9% compared to the estimated 3.7%. The previous month's gain of 353,000 jobs was revised down to 229,000. Job growth was driven by hiring in healthcare and government sectors, as well as food services, while the manufacturing sector cut 4,000 positions. Average hourly earnings increased by 0.1% for the month and rose by 4.3% from the same time last year. Some economists believe that strong job growth and rising wages are fueling inflation. The Federal Reserve, which is looking for signs of inflation and economic slowdown, may not consider this data sufficient to begin its rate-cutting cycle. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell reiterated this stance during his annual testimony before Congress. The market is currently expecting the first rate cut to come in June.

The number of people experiencing unemployment for 15 to 26 weeks has climbed 53% since March 2022. However, job openings remain above pre-pandemic levels, and some industries like healthcare and social services are still hiring. The overall job market is described as 'all over the place' and 'fragile'.
