The unemployment rate fell to 4.3 percent from 4.4 percent a month earlier.The peppier-than-expected data is a sign that the labor market might be emerging from a period of extremely slow growth brought on by a trade war that made companies hesitant to hire, an immigration crackdown that lowered the number of available workers and a federal government firing spree.Annual revisions to earlier data changed the picture of last year. The economy added only 181,000 jobs in 2025, down from an earlier estimate of 584,000.Here\u2019s what else to know:More people working: The labor force participation rate for people in their prime working years, between 25 and 54, jumped to 84.1 percent. That is as high as it\u2019s been since 2001.Narrow growth: As has been the case for more than a year, health care accounted for more than half of job gains in January, adding 82,000 positions. Construction gained 33,000 jobs, but most other sectors were flat, and the federal government shed another 35,000 positions.Working longer: In another sign of strong labor demand, the average workweek edged up by 0.1 hours. That number has been depressed for months, as employers tried to keep people busy even with fewer orders.Wages up: Average hourly earnings rose by 3.7 percent over the year, a pace that has been fairly consistent in recent months. However, that growth has become more stratified, with those on the higher end of the income ladder seeing faster raises.Slow hiring, slower layoffs: Other federal data released last week showed that job openings dropped to 6.5 million in December, the lowest level since September 2020. At the same time, initial claims for unemployment insurance remained very low in January, suggesting that employers are not laying off more people than usual.A seasonal quirk: Sluggish hiring of seasonal workers during the holidays may have boosted the number. If fewer were laid off in January, that would translate into a stronger reading after the Bureau of Labor Statistics adjusts for typical seasonal fluctuations.The Fed has time: The February jobs report is slated to be released before the Federal Reserve meets next to set interest rates, in mid-March. That is, unless another government shutdown delays the report again.Show moreFeb. 11, 2026, 10:23 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Joe RennisonLonger-dated interest rates remain higher after this morning\u2019s data, with the expectation that the stronger economy will necessitate fewer interest rate cuts. The 10-year treasury yield rose to 4.16 percent, with inflation expectations also nudging higher.\n \n \n \nFeb. 11, 2026, 10:20 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Talmon Joseph SmithA good zoomed out piece of perspective from Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM, as number-crunching takes from today\u2019s numbers filter in.\u201cOnce one works through the large downward revisions it does appear that following Fed rate cuts in the second half of 2025 that hiring stabilized, albeit at a modest pace of 73,000 over the previous three months including the January 2026 estimate,\u201d Mr. Brusuelas said. \u201cOn a six-month basis one can see the slower pace of hiring, which averaged 15,000 per month.\u201dFeb. 11, 2026, 10:04 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Tony RommPresident Trump seized on the jobs report Wednesday to renew his call for lower interest rates. In a post on social media, he described the monthly figure as \u201cFAR GREATER THAN EXPECTED!\u201d before insisting that the United States should \u201cbe paying the LOWEST INTEREST RATE, by far.\u201dThe president did not address the other key component in today\u2019s release \u2014 a steep downward revision to hiring estimates from previous months. An earlier revision prompted Mr. Trump to order the firing of the top official overseeing the labor statistics agency that produces the monthly jobs report.Feb. 11, 2026, 9:50 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Talmon Joseph Smith\u201cA year ago, this would have been considered a \u2018meh\u2019 employment report. In the current environment, 130,000 print is a blowout number,\u201d said said Samuel Rines, an economist and a macro strategist at WisdomTree, a financial firm. \u201cSure, there was a significant revision to jobs growth in 2025. But that doesn\u2019t really matter. That already happened and doesn\u2019t tell us much about the current environment. For all the angst about the outlook for 2026, this should mitigate some of it.\u201dFeb. 11, 2026, 9:51 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Talmon Joseph SmithThe only thing I would add to that reaction is that economists, including Mr. Rines, acknowledge that January is one of the noisier job reports because of the trickiness of making seasonal adjustments to payroll estimates right after the holidays. We\u2019ll get more signal about the underlying trend in the coming months.Feb. 11, 2026, 9:35 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Joe RennisonThe S&P 500 opened 0.5 percent higher as trading got underway on Wall Street. Energy stocks led the rise, followed by industrials and then technology stocks.\n \n \n \nFeb. 11, 2026, 9:33 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Joe Rennison\u201cMarkets may have been expecting a downshift in today\u2019s numbers after last week\u2019s soft data, but the jobs market hit the gas pedal instead,\u201d said Ellen Zentner, chief economic strategist for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, adding that the data supported the Fed\u2019s earlier decision not to lower interest rates. \u201cToday\u2019s data shows an acceleration in employment that was strong enough to drive unemployment lower\u2014vindication for Chair Powell\u2019s holding pattern.\u201dFeb. 11, 2026, 9:28 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Talmon Joseph SmithMatt Bush, an economist at Guggenheim Investments, noted that, \u201cToday\u2019s downward revisions to last year\u2019s job numbers imply that productivity in 2025 was maybe even stronger than we realized and may be revised up.\u201d It can sound somewhat counterintuitive, because the reduced job gains are a disappointment, but productivity is a function of business output per hour. And, for now, it appears U.S. businesses have been able to produce even more output, while adding far fewer workers than usual.Feb. 11, 2026, 9:12 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Tony RommIn a series of posts on social media, the White House Council of Economic Advisers heralded the jobs report for coming in \u201cFAR above expectations\u201d this month. It specifically pointed to the growth in private-sector jobs, and the decrease in government jobs, in January and over the past year. But the White House posts didn\u2019t mention the revision that sharply lowered job growth estimates in previous months.\ud83d\udea8Jobs Day Data Dump\ud83d\udea8\u2014 Council of Economic Advisers (@CEA47) February 11, 2026\nFeb. 11, 2026, 9:07 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Talmon Joseph Smith\u201cAll the details of the report point to strength across the board, said Matt Bush, U.S. economist at Guggenheim Investments. \u201cReal income for consumers is still positive, even if it\u2019s weaker than before, so we think this can continue.\u201dFeb. 11, 2026, 8:58 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Sydney EmberThe federal government lost 34,000 jobs in January, as the Trump administration\u2019s efforts to slash the federal workforce continued.Feb. 11, 2026, 8:50 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Joe RennisonInvestors are quickly moving to price in a delay for when the Fed will next cut interest rates. With the jobs data pointing to a stronger than expected labor market, investors are now betting there will be less need for the Fed to cut in June and now expect the next rate cut to come in July.Feb. 11, 2026, 8:48 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Sydney EmberThe average workweek for all employees ticked up by 0.1 hours, to 34.3 hours, a sign that employers are not cutting back on worker hours.Feb. 11, 2026, 8:43 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Sydney EmberTemporary help services added 9,000 jobs. This is an industry that serves as a bellwether for the labor market\u2019s strength, and the fact that employers added jobs could be a sign that they are feeling more confident in the economy\u2019s trajectory.Feb. 11, 2026, 8:42 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Ben CasselmanThe annual benchmark revision lowered the total level of employment by more than one million jobs, reflecting adjustments in 2024 and 2025. In percentage terms, this was the largest annual revision since 2009, and the second big downward revision in a row.Feb. 11, 2026, 8:39 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Sydney EmberSectors that lost jobs in January include transportation and warehousing, which lost 11,000 jobs; information, which lost 12,000 jobs; and financial activities, which lost 22,000 jobs.Feb. 11, 2026, 8:39 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Talmon Joseph SmithIn another bright spot, Black unemployment, which had surged from below 5 percent in 2023 to 8.2 percent in late 2025, has fallen again, back to 7.2 percent. That remains a painfully high level of joblessness for plenty of people, but still a welcome trend reversal for now.Feb. 11, 2026, 8:38 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Tony RommThe monthly jobs total is going to delight the White House, where President Trump\u2019s economic advisers had suggested publicly for days that the hiring number could be much lower, even as they defended the labor market as strong. The revisions are another matter entirely. The last time that B.L.S. posted a major revision, Mr. Trump fired the leader of the agency.Feb. 11, 2026, 8:37 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Sydney EmberManufacturing added 5,000 jobs in January, following a recent slide. Those gains are relatively weak and do not yet indicate that the Trump administration\u2019s tariff policy, which is aimed in part at bringing manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., is having a meaningful impact there.Feb. 11, 2026, 8:37 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Colby SmithThis report gives the Federal Reserve cover to extend a pause on rate cuts that began last month when it next meets in March. Leading up to the release of January\u2019s report, some officials at the central bank, including chair Jerome H. Powell, described the labor market as \u201cstabilizing\u201d and have struck a more upbeat tone about the economic outlook. This report bolsters that view and will also give more hawkish members at the Fed who are more concerned about inflation grounds to push back on any imminent cuts.Feb. 11, 2026, 8:35 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Ben CasselmanAs expected, the annual benchmark revisions sharply lowered estimates for job growth in earlier months. The new estimates show that the U.S. economy added just 181,000 jobs in 2025, down from the earlier estimate of 584,000.Feb. 11, 2026, 7:45 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Ben CasselmanThe Bureau of Labor Statistics, which will release the latest jobs numbers on Wednesday, has been without a Senate-confirmed director since President Trump fired the previous head of the agency after it reported disappointing jobs numbers.But late last month, Mr. Trump said he would nominate Brett Matsumoto, a little-known government economist, to lead the Bureau of Labor StatisticsMr. Matsumoto is Mr. Trump\u2019s second pick to lead the bureau, which produces data on the labor market, inflation and other topics. In August, the president announced he would appoint E.J. Antoni, a conservative economist, to the job, but withdrew the nomination after it faced bipartisan criticism.Mr. Matsumoto is unlikely to face the same backlash. He has little public profile outside the nerdy world of statistical experts but is relatively well known inside it, in part because he was previously active on social media, writing posts that explained the nuances of statistical data. That differed starkly from Mr. Antoni, who was criticized for social media posts that often appeared to distort economic statistics to support partisan positions.Mr. Matsumoto did not respond to requests for comment.Mr. Trump announced the nomination in a post on Truth Social, where he reprised his attacks on the labor statistics agency. The president said the bureau to date had been led by \u201cWEAK and STUPID people\u201d and had produced \u201cVERY inaccurate numbers.\u201dMr. Matsumoto, whose nomination must still be confirmed by the Senate, earned his doctorate in economics from the University of North Carolina in 2015 and has worked at the Bureau of Labor Statistics ever since, most recently conducting research related to the measurement of inflation. He has spent the past year on assignment at the Council of Economic Advisers, a fairly standard practice for government economists.Show more", "ai_headline": "Not specified", "ai_simplified_title": "US Economy Shows Strong Start in 2026 Jobs Report", "ai_excerpt": "The U.S. economy showed strength in early 2026, with employers adding 130,000 jobs in January.
