Why it matters locally: While national jobs data reflects broad economic trends, New York's employment landscape, with its significant financial and service sectors, will contribute to and be influenced by these national figures.
U.S. employers expanded payrolls by 29,000 jobs in September. The national unemployment rate reached 4.2% during the same period. Government data also showed revisions to job gains for previous months. Officials reduced the job additions for July and August by a combined total of 60,000. These adjustments indicate a slower rate of job market expansion.Related Topics
