According to BlockBeats, on January 10, the Wall Street Journal commented on the US non-farm data, saying that the United States added 256,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate fell slightly. This is much higher than a previous survey result. Economists expected non-farm employment to be 155,000 in December. The unemployment rate of 4.1% is also better than the expected 4.2%. The unemployment rate is close to the level that Federal Reserve officials believe is sustainable in the long run. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell has said that he does not think it is necessary to cool the labor market further. After rising in the first half of 2024, the unemployment rate seems to have stabilized since this summer, easing concerns last fall that the economy might deteriorate. (Jinshi)
