US jobs report falls far short as unemployment rises

The US economy added 29,000 jobs in September, far below the expected 89,000, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.2% against forecasts of 4.1%. August's figures were also revised down by 29,000 jobs, making this the third-weakest jobs report of 2026. Critics are using the data to mock President Trump's claims of an economic 'golden age'.

Why now: The jobs miss directly undercuts Trump's economic narrative, making it politically charged news.
