The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that U.S. employers added 181,000 jobs last year, far fewer than the 1.46 million jobs that were added in 2024.

The U.S. economy experienced almost zero job growth in 2025, according to revised federal data. On a more encouraging note: Hiring has picked up in 2026.

Preliminary data had indicated that the U.S. economy added 584,000 jobs last year. But the Bureau of Labor Statistics revised that number after it received additional state data and found that the labor market had added 181,000 jobs in all of 2025.

This is far fewer than the 1.46 million jobs that were added in 2024.

    A ton of corporate jobs are being offshored to places like Thailand and India. All these corporate bastards want to do it make as much money off the backs of others and don’t care who it fucks over.

    Those tariffs are really juicing the US economy straight the moon.

    Since most companies give crap raises I regularly browse available jobs and can say that both quantity and quality of available jobs is way down compared to 2024.

      It’s as if extreme price increases causes by tarrifs, loss of migrant workers, and now memory/storage shortages combined with and devaluation of the dollar drive inflation and the stock market nominally goes up.

        Agreed. Also I specifically said dollars because someone trying to defend pedophiles got so flustered she referred to her king after her personal attacks failed an in honor of him completely threw out numbers in a market she clearly does not understand that are in no way helping those in the us that truly need help

    Didn’t the orange moron fire the guy who gave mediocre job numbers last time.

    Let’s revise those numbers for reality.

    -1,810,000 jobs

    We’re at such a weird time, low job growth, but productivity is still increasing due to technological automation. We need a new New Deal.
