U.S. Jobs Data Surprises to the Upside

The unemployment rate came in at 4.3%, better than the 4.4% economists were expecting. Job growth also held up well, with the economy adding 130,000 jobs in January, the strongest monthly increase since April 2025.

What really stood out was the private sector. It added 172,000 jobs, the highest level in a year, showing that hiring demand remains solid.

Overall, this was a strong jobs report. With the labor market still showing resilience, a March rate cut now looks much less likely.
