๐ฅSHOCKING:๐บ๐ธ U.S. Records Weakest Non-Recession Job Growth Since 2003
The United States has posted the **lowest annual job growth for a non-recession year since 2003**, signaling a sharp cooling in the labor market.
While the economy avoided an official recession in 2025, total job creation came in at historically weak levels compared to other expansion years. Hiring momentum slowed significantly across multiple sectors.
Typically, such weak job growth is seen during or immediately after recessions. The fact that this slowdown occurred **without a formal recession** raises concerns about underlying economic fragility, high interest rate pressure, and reduced business expansion.
Slower hiring increases expectations for potential **Federal Reserve rate cuts**, which could weaken the dollar and support equities and crypto. However, it also reinforces concerns about slowing consumer demand and corporate earnings pressure.
