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.

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.

Hodl for the sweet sweet trickle down boys and girls. Just a bit longer…
The trickle down IS happening right now. Do you not like your golden shower?
I was told that Biden had the worstest economy in history and that Donvict was here to fix everything!
I hate to tell you, hell, I hate that I even have to say it at all, but you were lied to.
Even my $5k DOGE check? It’s not in the mail?
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
Uh huh, hey, why don’t these job numbers reports ever talk about whether these new jobs are keeping up with the cost of living? Seems like it’d be important to discern how many jobs are paying minimum wage and how many are paying enough to actually afford to survive longer than the next 24 fucking hours. Oh, and how many of these new jobs are union jobs that protect worker’s rights? Pretty fucking important bits of information to just never ever report…
That’s a very good point.
An “Income From Work” report would show far better how most people are being impacted.

You’d get closer to that answer with a different report. Probably a combination of the Occupation Finder data showing wage ranges and the Employment Projections data which shows employment increase in number of jobs or declines in each sector.
The BLS used to be a gold standard for fantastic data collection, analysis, and sharing. However, I am not putting much confidence behind any data coming out of the trump administration.
As someone looking for a different job, it shows.
but DIDN’T THE DOW BREAK 50,000 DOLLARS
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
Yeah, in my bank account.
But the Dow is over 50,000 doll… I don’t know why you’re laughing at me…
They’re all working for ice, govt socialism redistributing our tax dollars.
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.
and thats with cooked, the last guy with bad news got fired, numbers.
Really need some quotation marks in there!
I added commas.
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.
Its fine guys.
All the young smart people have left.
Also we have these special “wellness camps” now for poor people, mental health addicts, and young women at risk of pregnancy.
By reducing the number of people competing for jobs, there will be more jobs to go round.
