The US labor market added far more jobs than projected in September while the unemployment rate unexpectedly ticked lower, reflecting a stronger picture of the jobs market than Wall Street had expected.
Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics released Friday showed the labor market added 254,000 payrolls in September, more additions than the 150,000 expected by economists.
Meanwhile, the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, from 4.2% in August. September job additions came in higher than the revised 159,000 added in August. Revisions to both the July and August report showed the US economy added 72,000 more jobs during those two months than previously reported.
Wage growth, an important measure for gauging inflation pressures, rose to 4% year over year, from a 3.9% annual gain in August. On a monthly basis, wages increased 0.4%, in line with August’s reading.
The key question entering Friday’s report was whether the data would reflect significant cooling in the labor market, which could prompt another large Fed interest rate cut. Robert Sockin, Citi senior global economist, told Yahoo Finance that the better-than-expected jobs report makes it less likely the Fed moves with the “urgency” it did at its September meeting when the central bank cut interest rates by half a percentage point.

“This pushes the Fed out a lot,” he said, adding that it’s uncertain the Fed will make a 50 basis point cut again this year.

Following the report, markets were pricing in a roughly 5% chance the Fed cuts interest rates by half a percentage point in November, down from a 53% chance seen a week ago, per the CME FedWatch Tool.
“Looking at the labour market strength evident in September’s employment report, the real debate at the Fed should be about whether to loosen monetary policy at all,” Capital Economics chief North America economist Paul Ashworth wrote in a note to clients on Friday. “Any hopes of a [50 basis point] cut are long gone.”
Futures tied to major US stock indexes rallied on the news. S&P 500 futures (ES=F) put on nearly 0.8%, while Dow Jones Industrial Average futures (YM=F) added roughly 0.5%. Contracts on the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) moved 1.1% higher.

Renaissance Macro head of economics Neil Dutta wrote in a note following the release that September’s jobs report was “undeniably good news” for the equity market.
“At the end of the day, the Fed is still cutting policy rates even as the economy grows,” Dutta wrote.
Also in Friday’s report, the labor force participation was flat from the month prior at 62.7%. Food services and drinking places led the job gains, rising 69,000 in the month. Meanwhile, healthcare added 45,000 jobs, and government jobs ticked higher by 31,000.
Earlier this week, data from ADP showed the private sector added 143,000 jobs in September, above economists’ estimates for 125,000 and significantly higher than the 99,000 seen in August. This marked the end of a five-month decline in private-sector job additions.

“This is a pretty healthy, widespread rebound,” ADP chief economist Nela Richardson said. “And probably unexpected by many people who thought the job market was on a downward slide. This month, of course, gives pause to those kinds of assessments. Hiring is still solid.”

US stock futures climbed on Friday as investors braced for a key monthly jobs report, with the Middle East crisis and a return to work at US ports also in high focus.
S&P 500 futures (ES=F) put on 0.3%, while Dow Jones Industrial Average futures (YM=F) added roughly 0.2%. Contracts on the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) moved 0.4% higher.
Investors are marking time for the release of the September jobs report, expected to provide further evidence the labor market is cooling but not collapsing. A rapid weakening could prompt the Federal Reserve to once again lower interest rates by an outsized 0.5% in November.
Friday’s report, set for release at 8:30 a.m. ET, is expected to show nonfarm payrolls rose by 150,000. But Wall Street is likely to focus less on hiring and more on the unemployment rate, where a gain could boost bets on a larger rate cut.

While stocks are on track for weekly losses, the markets have shown some resilience in the face of a rough week of worrying headlines. The major gauges were off 1% or less as of Thursday’s close, with the S&P 500 and Dow still within striking distance of record highs.
In recent days, a huge ports strike, devastation from Hurricane Helene, and the prospect of a wider Mideast conflict brought the potential to lift prices and fan inflation. That in turn cast doubt on the Fed’s preferred 0.25% rate cut.
In a welcome move, the US dockworkers strike ended after a tentative wage deal was agreed late Thursday, though some issues remain to be settled by later this year.
On the downside, a barrage of strikes by Israel on Beirut kept alive the Mideast worries that have driven up oil prices. Western leaders warned about “uncontrollable escalation” as investors waited to see whether Israel will attack Iran’s oil facilities — a move President Biden said is under discussion.
Oil is on track for its biggest weekly gain in two years as tensions mount. Brent crude (BZ=F) and West Texas Intermediate (CL=F) futures rose over 1% on Friday morning, coming off a 5% gain the previous day.
