US Job Growth Collapses To Just 22K, Unemployment Rate Rises To 4.3% Putting 50bps Rate Cut In Play
Ahead of today’s jobs report, consensus was that a print between 40K and 100K is largely priced in and greenlighting a 25bps rate cut by the Fed in two weeks, and that we would need a real outlier number for the Fed to either cut 50bps… or not hike. Well, we got a real outlier when moments ago the BLS reported that in August the US added only 22K jobs, a big drop from the upward revised 79K (from 73K previously) but more importantly June was revised from 27K to -13K, ushering in the first negative jobs print since 2020.
With these revisions, employment in June and July combined is 21,000 lower than previously reported, continuing to trend of negative revisions into a labor market slowdown.
The revisions pushed the 3-month average jobs print to just 29K, which however was a tiny improvement from the 28K in July.
Just as importantly, the payrolls number came in far below Wall Street estimates of a 75K print. In fact, it was higher than just one of the 80 estimates provided to Bloomberg.
The household survey was not quite so bad, and in fact the number of employed workers rose by 288K to 163.394MM, the biggest increase since April.
The number of unemployed workers also increased, rising from 7.236MM to 7.384MM, and with the labor force increasing to 170.778MM, it meant the unemployment rate also rose to 4.3% from 4.2%, in line with expectations. Among major groups, the unemployment rates for blacks rose to 7.5%, the highest since 2021; All other unemployment rates also rose modestly: Whites (3.7 percent), Asians (3.6 percent), and Hispanics (5.3 percent).
