The US economy added only 29,000 jobs in September, far short of the expected 89,000, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, above the expected 4.1%. August's job figures were also revised down by 29,000, making this the third-weakest jobs report of 2026. Critics are using the numbers to mock the White House's claims of a economic 'golden age'.

Why now: The weak jobs report directly contradicts the Trump administration's 'golden age' economic narrative, fueling political criticism.
