The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, failing to meet expectations of economists and adding to uncertainty already being fueled by the war in Iran.
Also, corrections by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics revised job numbers down again for 2025. The corrections mean that the job market for 2025 was much more stagnant than what was first reported by the government. Initially, job growth was pegged at 584,000, but that was revised down to 181,000. With the new corrections, it now sits at just 109,000 jobs added for all of 2025.
