Jobless claims in the U.S. fell to 194,000 last week, close to the lowest level since the late 1960s, reflecting a labor market where employers are reluctant to lay off workers despite slow hiring. Nonfarm payroll growth remains weak, with only 29,000 jobs added in September and an unemployment rate rising to 4.2% due to increased labor force participation. Layoffs have decreased, and job openings remain stable, signaling cautious employer behavior amid economic uncertainty. The Federal Reserve is expected to pause rate hikes in October but may raise rates again in December as inflation concerns persist.
