January hiring gains surprisingly robust
Quick Glance: Record Number of New Jobs in the US in January
  • New data from the Labor Department shows that the US economy added 353,000 jobs in January, with the unemployment rate at 3.7 percent.

  • The January jobs report far exceeded economists' expectations, who predicted a gain of 185,000 jobs and an unemployment rate of 3.8 percent.

  • "The labor market is the little engine that could, and it kept chugging away in January," said John Leer, chief economist at Morning Consult.

  • The surprisingly strong jobs report will exclude a rate cut in March and raises questions about how quickly the Fed will actually lower interest rates.

Quick Glance: Labor Cost Data Signals Inflation Improvement
  • Recent ECI data shows significant decline in labor cost growth, indicating easing inflation and a shift in the Fed's monetary policy.

  • The Employment Cost Index (ECI), the Fed's preferred measure of labor costs, saw its smallest quarterly increase in over two years, signaling a positive change in the central bank's inflation fight.

  • ECI data for the quarter suggests a cooling of inflationary pressures within the job market, crucial for the Fed's monetary policy decisions.

  • The decline in labor cost growth supports the Fed's confidence that the current reduction in inflation is sustainable and signals a move toward more balanced labor market conditions.
