US economy2026-10-02 18:05:45US job gains revised sharply lower after Fed rate hike, raising questions over policy callThe US Bureau of Labor Statistics revised down job gains for July and August by a combined 60,000, undercutting labor-market data that had helped support the Federal Reserve’s September 16 rate hike, according to Protos. July’s figure was changed from a reported gain of 21,000 jobs to a loss of 10,000, while August payroll estimates were cut by 29,000. At the time, the Fed said job growth was keeping pace with the workforce and that unemployment had changed little, while Kevin Warsh told reporters that job openings and weekly hours were rising. Protos said those assessments were based on data that later proved inaccurate. The report also noted that the pace of US job creation has been declining for five years. After an initially upbeat August openings report, UBS said market odds of a rate hike rose from 50% to 60%. September then brought weaker numbers: employers added 29,000 jobs versus an 84,000 forecast, and the unemployment rate climbed to 4.2%. Jefferies’ chief US economist said August now looks like a rebound from very weak hiring in June and July. With the revisions in hand, expectations for another rate increase before year-end are facing renewed scrutiny.740

At the same time, the Trump administration continues to push for rate cuts, putting Fed Chair Warsh in the middle of conflicting pressures from the White House and financial markets.1070

nonfarm payro2026-09-04 04:15:37US August Nonfarm Payrolls Due Tonight: Market Expects 56K New Jobs, Fed Focus Remains on InflationThe U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the August nonfarm payrolls report tonight. The market expects only 56,000 new jobs, with the unemployment rate holding at 4.1%. Analysts describe the labor market as "stable but weak," and a weak jobs number may not directly push the Fed to cut rates, as the policy focus remains on inflation. JPMorgan's trading desk predicts that if payrolls exceed 95,000, the S&P 500 could fall by 0.5% to 1.25%, while if payrolls come in between 5,000 and 35,000, the index could rise by 0.25% to 0.75%. Fed officials Barr and Waller have described the jobs situation as "stable" and "satisfactory," but this does not signal strength; rather, it suggests the Fed could consider raising rates if inflation does not ease further, while trying to minimize harm to employment.1090
