US employers added 29K jobs in Sept, below expectations, signaling a cooler but stable labor market.

The US Labor Department reported that employers added 29,000 jobs in September, significantly below the expected 80,000. Additionally, job gains from the previous two months were revised downward by a total of 60,000 jobs. Despite the slower job growth, the unemployment rate remained stable around 4%, indicating a modestly healthy labor market. This data suggests the Federal Reserve is likely to pause interest rate hikes in its upcoming October meeting.
