US economy adds just 29,000 jobs in September

Original: U.S. economy adding 29 thousand jobs in September

The US economy added 29,000 jobs in September, according to reporting by 13newsnow.com. The figure points to a sharp slowdown in hiring, and is likely to fuel debate about the health of the labor market and the direction of Federal Reserve interest rate policy. Economists and commentators are expected to weigh in on whether the weakness reflects broader economic softness or temporary disruptions to data collection and employment.

Why now: A surprisingly weak jobs number raises concerns about a slowing US labor market and possible interest rate cuts.
