U.S. Job Market Lags Behind Economic Growth
The Labor Department is expected to report on Wednesday that employers added about 75,000 jobs in January, according to a FactSet survey, while ADP recorded 22,000 private hires and openings fell to 6.5 million. Annual benchmark revisions are likely to sharply reduce 2025 job counts — a preliminary estimate suggested as many as 911,000 jobs could be erased — even as GDP grew 4.4% in July–September.
