Description

Septembers jobs report shows a surprising surge, with 119,000 new jobs added, but the report arrived late due to the government shutdown. August and July numbers were revised down, and the unemployment rate rose to 4.4%. Despite mixed indicators, major companies like Amazon and Target announced job cuts, and small-business optimism declined. Home Depot and Target also reported lower profits, citing economic uncertainty and reduced spending.
