Job Market Stagnant: November Job Growth & Wage Stagnation
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
The Bureau of Labor Statistics final employment report for the year reveals a stagnant job market, with unemployment above four point five percent and wage growth slowing. Job growth was uneven, with healthcare and social assistance leading the way, while manufacturing and construction showed mixed results. The report, released after a rare Tuesday release due to the government shutdown, highlights a challenging job market for many seekers, with worker confidence low and quit rates at a two-year low. Wage growth has cooled, making it harder for workers to negotiate higher pay, and the unemployment rate has risen, indicating a more difficult job search, particularly for those experiencing long-term unemployment.
