‘Workers growing increasingly anxious’: US adds 29k jobs, far below 90k expected
US employers added only 29,000 jobs in September, far below the 90,000 expected by economists. The unemployment rate rose to 4.2% as more individuals entered the workforce without jobs, while healthcare hiring slowed and government job cuts contributed to weak figures. This trend raises concerns about future hiring plans, which have dropped to their lowest level since 2011.
